Kennedy really enjoys to help out in the kitchen. One of the ways that I am able to cook dinner or clean up is by letting her play with water, noodles, or anything that she can toss back and forth between a number of bowls. I figure this is also a good learning tool for shapes and colors. The shapes of the bowls...she'll say "circle" and then the different colors in the bowl. My loving husband came in and saw her playing with the water that had turned completely green. He must think I do a really good job being a mom when he stopped and asked " So, your letting her play with Fabuloso(it's a green cleaning product)?" You can imagine my facial expression.
We were at the neighbors Monday playing and their little girl has almost mastered potty training. She had us all follow her into the bathroom so she could show Kennedy what a big girl she was. When we got home we asked Kennedy to see if she wanted to go. After many times sitting on the toilet then folding it up to a step stool, acting like she was dumping the contents in the big toilet, and climbing on the bed we had success. We were like kids that just won a game, giving one another high fives and jumping up and down. It is going to be a long road, but I feel there will be an end in sight. These are some pictures of the panties that we had bought for Kennedy. Kennedy liked wearing them on the outside of her clothes. She finally ran around with them correctly.
Laura had used some old contact solution which caused a chemical reaction in her eye. I couldn't resist getting this photo of her.
Sunday, we went with Mel, Kirk, and Gracie to the Austin Livestock Show. Kennedy wasn’t too keen on the petting zoo. Gracie, however, loved it. She loved on all the animals and enjoyed riding the miniature ponies. We tried to get Kennedy to ride but she wouldn’t let go of us. She did love the pig races and riding the whale carnival ride. I wouldn’t recommend the whale for adults because my legs kept getting jarred every time it went up and down. 
For the past five years, Tracy and I have been asked if we would like to attend the Austin Film Awards. Our company sponsors the parking so we generally get nice seating and for two of the years have had the opportunity to go back stage and have our photo taken with one of the stars.
