odds and ends

So, it’s been awhile since I felt I have posted anything. Here are some lingering pictures from the camera that I download today. The big news in our house is Kennedy slowly asking us to use the potty. We had our first bowel movement in the toilet on Monday, July 20. I had just laid her down for bed and she told me she needed to go to the potty. I figured it was one of her stall tactics, but since we are in training mode I figured I should give her a chance. Sure enough if she didn’t tinkle then toot, then you know what happened. I yelled for Trey and we all did the “Who, Who” dance together. It’s a little dance we created and Kennedy claps, wiggles, while we move our arms around and around saying “who, who, who pee-peed in toilet? Who?Who? Kennedy Lynn Dodson!” It’s silly, but she’ll ask for the “who,who” dance.

We received several big boxes of clothing from Mel Knussmann.Within the boxes, were these adorable Gap tennis shoes that Kennedy loves. We had to put them on and go for a run. She ran almost 1/2 mile before getting to the school playground. The way back was a little different, but she loves the shoes.

Sherry was staying at our house, watching Kennedy and decided to fill the little turtle sand box up with water. Kennedy had such a great time relaxing in the water. Two of the photos are of her showing the "I love you" sign.

While we were down in Mathis, we had to drive into Corpus so we decided to take Kennedy to Mustang Island. I figured she wouldn't really enjoy the salt water, but to my surprise she loved it. We walked along the beach looking for seashells, sat and let the waves hit us, walked out into the ocean and tried to jump the waves, and watched Trey ride in on the waves. I'm looking forward to our next adventure to the beach.








It finally rained/hailed in Mathis. Kennedy and Trey went running in it.
