Summer Fun

Esme's had another exciting week since our last update but most exciting of all is that she's gone pee in the potty three times last weekend!  Allen puts her on the potty right before she takes a bath every night but just recently I started sitting on the big toilet at the same time and it worked.  We're just going to keep doing that before bath time and see how she does.  Once she starts telling us the she has to go during the day then we'll start visiting the potty more.  Apparently she really likes to watch the big kids use the bathroom at daycare and they'll start working on potty training when she's ready too.

We had a field trip to the Woodland Park Zoo with Ms Faye and a few other daycare families this past weekend.  At first Esme was a little confused to see them in a different environment but then she warmed up and had so much fun running around with her friends.  She also enjoyed the zoo much more than our last few trips.  That evening  we had a bonfire with friends and Esme snuck her little hands in the marshmallow bag and tried her first one ever.  Actually it ended up being two cause she wanted one in each fist.  Greedy little girl!  She also got to visit the Bite Of Seattle and had a blast people watching, dancing to the music and watching the big water fountain at Seattle Center.

It was a busy weekend but unfortunately by the end of it we realized she'd come down with hand-foot-mouth which was going around daycare the week before.  She had a blister to her thumb and two on her feet and then just a rash to her butt and ankles.  So far she's been home this entire week and will continue to be if the blisters don't resolve soon.  The good news is that it doesn't seem to be that bad in her mouth cause she's eating just fine.
