Busch Gardens

We had such a fun day at Busch Gardens on Sunday! Now that Addy is older, she can go on almost every kiddie ride. The Sesame Street rides open next weekend and we can't wait to take her. We also signed up to have breakfast with Elmo next weekend. Since we bought a season pass, we plan on going at least once a week-- maybe more. It's literally in our backyard so we couldn't be more excited!

Elmo at Busch Gardens

We took Addy to Busch Gardens on Sunday for the grand opening of the season for pass holders. She LOVED it! We had such a great time, so much different now that she's older. They opened a new Sesame Street land that has 5 new kiddie rides, an Elmo 4-D show, and a meet and greet photo op with the characters. As we were watching the characters dance she could hardly contain herself she was so excited to see him. She even tried to climb the fence! Once it was our turn to meet Elmo, I let her walk over to him. I thought she might get scared, but she was so excited that she did a little dance for Elmo. Too cute!! 

Enjoying the nice weather

Daddy had a 3 day weekend, and we enjoyed as much of as we could outside in the warm weather! We took a nice 6 mile bike ride, played at the park, grilled burgers, and spent time on the deck. We are so excited that Busch Gardens is opening the park tomorrow for season pass holders. Addy is very excited because they opened a new Sesame Street land that we'll get to see tomorrow! 

Potty Pictures

I thought these pictures were pretty funny. This was how we spent last weekend, and with Addy half naked. I am very glad that part is over! She is doing so well with the potty-- We've only had once accident in 4 days!! 

No more diapers!!

That's right, no more diapers for Addy (except for night time and naps). We've been in potty training boot camp all weekend, which I must say is not very fun. Addy has made ALOT of progress from day 1 and is now happily using the potty. She can now tell us when she needs to go (most of the time) and is so proud of herself. We know it will be a little while until she's fully trained, but no more diapers for her. She even managed to go potty at the gym day care this morning, I was so proud! She loves all the praise she gets, quite a difference in her attitude compared to Friday. I know she's young, but I also realize I think for her it's better to do it early before she really starts to have an opinion!

Yoga Class

I've been feeling guilty about teaching a bunch of adorable toddlers and not taking Addy to my yoga class. I mainly keep her at home because I have paying clients and don't want her to be a distraction. On Friday I decided that I wanted my sitter to bring her to class. She didn't quite behave like I wanted her too. She was so excited when I laid out her mat and started setting up the room. As soon as class began, she wanted nothing to do with Jessica (my babysitter) but wanted to hang out with mommy. I figured this might happen, but she still didn't want to participate! It was definitely a distraction for me to keep the class running smoothly, and I even asked Jessica to take her out at the end of class. I am hoping that once I start a new session I'll get her coming regularly and she'll be a model student. She does all kinds of yoga at home, but apparently not in class! Jessica doubled as a babysitter/photographer and took some fun pictures of the class. 

First snow!

So maybe winter just comes in March here in Williamsburg. I was very excited for snow when I woke up this morning! A little bummed that my classes were cancelled, but I definitely loved the snow. I took Addy outside to play and she wasn't so thrilled. I don't think she is fond of the cold weather. MacGregor, the snow dog, thinks it's the best thing ever! If only he could lend Addy his fur coat........
