Mom's Lil Helper
McKenna has become quite the little helper, she's been so cute this morning. After breakfast she found her lil glass tea set and put together a lil tea party for the 3 of us which included bagels and water. A lil later as we were getting dressed she put on a pair of Capri's and declared herself the "mommy". She then directed Tyler to the bed and then sat on the floor to read her stories asking me, "McKenna" to go to my room/bed. I decided to play along since it was Tyler's naptime and see how things turned out. It was nice to have a few moment and to listen to McKenna in the other room read the "Goldilocks & the 3 Bears" to Tyler. I think I heard her also read her an Elmo book and then I heard her tell her "I Love you" and blow her kisses and then she left the room. I was impressed this is exactly what we do as our bed/naptime routine. McKenna and I sat in my room and I anticipated Tyler jumping out of bed and coming out, but she cried out for a half a minute and then all was quiet. I couldn't believe it, so impressed my almost 4 yr old put my 1-1/2 yr old down for her nap. It's like a dream come true, now if we can just move these efforts to potty training maybe get 2 with 1 shot. :) A mom can dream!

Oh, poor Tyler! Maybe try the bed rails?
As for potty training...I have no knowledge of it...but it seems McKenna is a great dictator-not that this will work on Tyler's end but have McKenna 'teach' Tyler about potty training....? :)
ha ha nice job! She must be a good helper. She did learn from you though so be proud :O)
Such a cute story! I love your kids!
That is so sweet! I bet you loved that! Hopefully she is this willing to help when you have a newborn in the home. Wouldn't THAT be nice :)
I have been keeping busy huh? Well it has been fun getting to know more couples in our ward. The campout helped a lot too. I know I can't believe I said yes to camping. I was really excited about it. We didn't have our air mattress cuz it's in utah but we had dinky matt and a blanket. . ha ha it was better than just the sleeping bag I guess. Friday night was a little bit hard. I couldn't get comfortable. I took so many pillows but I shared them with Steven because I felt bad taking all the pillows. It was fun though and nice and cool at night :O)
