Oh no, Oh NO!!!

Whenever Esme has to go potty, she says "Oh no, Oh NO! I have to go potty!".  And if she really has to go there are a few more 'oh no's' and they get louder and louder.

Since she's been potty trained, she hasn't really had too many accidents and when she has, they've usually been when she's sleeping.  If they happen when we're out and about she usually catches herself and we get to the bathroom as fast as we can.  She's never had a full on blow out accident until today.  And boy did she.

We went to a never-to-be-named playground.  We started out swinging and playing with some of the equipment.

Looks fun right?  Well, see that green tube in the background?  Right after this picture was taken, Esme crawled up in that tube and was crawling through it.  Suddenly I heard "oh no, oh NO!, I peed a little in my underwear".  I asked if she could hold it and we'd go home quick.  She said yeah, and I told her to come down.  Evidently, she overestimated her ability to hold it because soon there was a mysterious liquid dripping down from the tube into the mulch.  A lot of it.  Oops.

I apologize to everyone who lives in this neighborhood and has small children.  Oh, and I hope it rains pours soon...

Four wheeling

Uncle Ernie had people over today and Esme got to sit on the four wheeler with her friend Alyssa.  They had a lot of fun playing.  They've played together before, but usually they are mostly playing in the same area but not really together.  I think they call that parallel play.  This time they were interacting a lot and it was really fun to watch them.

 Later she got to help Ernie move the four wheeler in the garage.

 This helmet is a little too big!

Thanks Uncle Ernie!

First Snow 2012

Today it snowed a little bit.  Esme was so excited!  She wanted to get her snow boots, snow pants and new coat, hat and mittens on and go outside.  Even though it was only a dusting of snow, she was going to have the whole outfit on.

 Just enough snow to coat the deck a bit.

The window on the screen door was frosty and it was fun to take a few pictures through it and then play with it on Instagram. :)

Esme and Cricket tried to play fetch.  I say try because if you look in these pictures the ball never leaves the chuck and Cricket knows it.

 We will have to keep practicing with the chuck.  And we will hope for more snow.
