big things are happenin...

2 big things happened in the cornwall house...madeline rolled over! a couple of weeks ago i realized that madeline was 4 months old and probably should have rolled over by now. but the problem was that i never gave her tummy time. in fact, i never gave her time on the floor at all! i mean with 2 other kids running around, i feared a little bit for her safety. but for the last few weeks i have made a conscious effort to lay her on the floor. and today she finally rolled over (and the more difficult roll from back to stomach!) yea madeline!! (she has also started playing with toys... she is interested in them and will hold them for a few minutes)
brooke was (fairly) easily potty trained. now some of you may be thinking.... isn't brooke already potty trained?? i mean i have started it 2 other times, so it is a fair question. but the answer was no- i had given up the other 2 times i had tried. both times i was pregnant (i totally wanted to get it done before madeline was born!) the first time i was new pregnant and it made me sick. the second time i was huge and just didn't want to deal with it. so i planned to do it the week after christmas when hana was in school. we stayed home the whole week (even turning down play-times with other people!) and did it. i am happy to report it was MUCH easier than i thought it would be (i mean i had dreaded it for a year!). the first 2 days we had some accidents (one of them being poopy- yuck!) but after the first 2 days it was pretty much smooth sailing... she has not really had any accidents since then and she tells me when she has to go!! she has even pooped twice! (i sure hope i am not jinxing it by sharing this!!)

so that is what is new in the cornwall house! big things are happenin...
