Our silly elf made his debut on after the SEC Championship (RTR!) and this is what we came home to find. MM decided that maybe Snowflake was trying to find the BEST outfit to watch the game and just couldn't decide! You know, my closet looks kind of like that sometime when I can't decide what to wear! Every piece of Alabama clothing that was in both girls closet was scattered all over the kitchen!
And here he is tangled in a strand of colored lights on our tree (pre-decorated)!
I know it's hard to see in this picture, but if you look really close to A's backside, you will notice that she has on big girls panties!!!! Yep, you guessed it, we started the potty training process. She had been showing the "signs" of being ready for a while, but I really needed to wait until we had time to really focus on it and make sure we were able to be consistent with it. The Christmas break was this time and I was determined to be successful by the time they went back to school after the new year. So, the Sunday before Christmas was P-Day! We had been talking it up for a couple of weeks so that she would be ready! And I do have to say that there is something to be said about them having to be ready in order for it to be successful. To this day, we have only had 4 accidents!!!! Yea!!! And this includes a road trip to Atlanta and back and to the beach and back! I can't believe it! Our house is diaper-free for the first time in over 5 years (well, except for bedtime and naptime, but I'm not counting those)! We did have a little issue with going #2 in the big potty which resulted in resorting to using a little saline suppository, but we've finally overcome that obstacle (I know, that's a little TMI, but this is my "baby book"). 
We started with putting the "little" potty in the kitchen, more for our convenience since she would want to try and "go" every 30 minutes, which can be a little disruptive to the usual goings-on in the house. But, we have now put the little potty away and are using the big potty 100% of the time. Wow - I never thought this day would come!
