Adios April!

Can you believe it's nearly the end of April? Before we now it, we can stop complaining about the "cold" temps and whining about the heat and humidity of summer.

I took Mack to her bi-annual dentist check-up. Aside from a few tears at the start of the exam, she did a great job! The treat bag at the end made up for any hard feelings. Mack came out with a great report and a new tooth brush! Even better, this was her first diaper free doctor's visit and it was a great success ( as well as the trip to Target afterwords). With any luck, we won't have to see Dr. Cullen until October!

Speaking of diaper free- we've made it a full week with only one accident. Mack's doing great and even tells me when she needs to get out of the bath tub to use the potty. Life with out diapers takes some getting used to. For instance, I no longer have to carry a " diaper bag" so does that mean this mommy can bring her old purse out of retirement? Only time will tell....

Grammy has been reading "Smelly books" ( scratch and sniff books) to Mackenzie for the past 6 months. For the past 3 months, the smelly books have had no smell. Grammy has set out to replenish the smelly book collection. This book " Scratch and sniff:Party" was the first to arrive.
Here's one last picture of Mackenzie painting a rainbow. When you're a toddler, your rainbows can consistent of all the usual colors plus brown and black, too! It's been fun to watch Mack's fine motor skills progress. She can now draw little tiny circles and instead of plastering a page full of scribbles, she carefully colors in coloring books attempting to color inside the lines!
