jamie leigh turned 2 years old yesterday! it was a great day, i sang happy birthday to her when she woke up and basically let her have whatever she wanted throughout the day (even though i pretty much do that every day! haha). i attempted to make elmo cupcakes, but since it was a last minute, not planned well, rushed thing, they turned out kinda funny.. more of a pink than red elmo, with blue eyes and mouth.. apparently you can't make black frosting, you have to buy it. still though, they were cute and yummy. we went to pizza with my family as we do every monday night and that was fun as usual. when we came home we gave jamie her presents, i bought her a pillow and made pillow cases, one with strawberry shortcake (her current obsession) and one with care bears (a past obsession and still a favorite). i also got her a color wonder book to color in and some big girl panties.. which leads me into the next exciting thing.. jamie used the potty last night too. she has been interested for awhile, we have a little potty chair we just set in the living room and encouraged her to use, but she never liked it. she would run around naked and hold her pee in, then when she couldn't stand it anymore she'd get all upset and end up having an accident. but last night she sat on the regular potty in the bathroom and went like a pro and has already used it twice today. i think that little potty in the middle of the room didn't make sense to her which is why she didn't use it. so i am hoping she sticks with it! here's a video of her bday and eating a cupcake.. kinda long, but cute!
