Round Of Applause

Apparently it was a big day at daycare for Esme today - she pooped on the potty!  So far she sits on it and tries everyday and then sometimes she's gone #1 but this was the first time for #2.  There was lots of clapping and all the kids came up to her afterwards and hugged her.  Ms Faye said she just stood there with her hands clasped in front of her, swaying back and forth and smiling.  She said she looked very proud!

This past weekend we went down to Portland for my cousins baby shower.  Like many past trips, we've opted to just go for the day to avoid the hassle of having to pack up all of Esme's stuff and have her sleep in a strange place and get all out of her routine.  Usually that works fine since she'd sleep most of the 3 hour car ride if we timed it right with her nap/sleep schedule.  Well this weekend that was definitely not the case.  She barely slept an hour each way and was not too excited with being strapped into her carseat the other 2 hours of the trip.  She kept signing "all done" to me and I was having to come up with all kinds of ways to distract her.  From now on we'll have to make it an overnight trip so we don't have to put her through that agony again.
