End of School Party

Last night we had our End of School Ice Cream Party. First we had dinner, followed by the awards ceremony.

Each of the girls got a diploma for the year of school that they completed, and they also got various rewards and honors for their special achievements.

Taya was our special honorary student. Her parents will have to keep up with all these festivities when she really is in school, or she will think she's getting the short end of the stick!

After the the awards ceremony, we played a few games (duck duck goose, musical chairs, and hide-n-go seek). We were all laughing so hard that some of us adults would not have qualified to receive the potty training certificate like Kiahna did! After we played the games, we had the ice cream party. Everyone got to decorate their own cone, and they each got their own candle to blow out. It was a pretty fabulous party!!!

I'm a Big Girl Now!!!

Kiahna is officially potty trained now! We started this process on May 24th, and it took a few days before she got the hang of it. By the end of the first week, she had accidents only on occasion.

She stayed completely dry on our road trip back to Arkansas--I did have to stop twice for her to go. Of course she gives no prior warning, so one of those times I just had to have her pee in the grass.--she thought this was hilarious.

Now, for the most part, she is accident-free. She has had to accidents where she peed in the grass outside (with her clothes still on!). I wonder who taught her that?!!!

Kiahna is very proud of her Dora panties. She wanted to have Diego undies, but they they only make them for boys. I'm just thankful that she's in big girl panties now. Another HUGE milestone has past.
