Busy, busy, busy...

The new daycare has been working with Kennedy on potty training.  Well, at least they have been working with her to get some time sitting on the toilet.  It didn't take her long to get the hang of sitting, but she has gone several weeks without actually using the toilet.  That all changed this week.  Sure enough, she has used the toilet on two different occasions!  Pretty exciting news.  We'll have to start working with her some more at home.

Kennedy has also learned how to apologize.  The little stinker has figured out that when she's in trouble, all she has to do is give you a hug and say "I sorry."  It hasn't taken her long to understand that this makes things better and she can be back on her merry way.

We've been working with her quite a bit on saying "please" and "thank you."  Her Mom and Dad are pretty proud of her because she's been getting pretty consistent about saying "please" and "thank you" without being prompted.

Like most toddlers, she has gotten to where she loves watching cartoons.  She especially loves the Disney Junior channel.  Her favorites are "Chuggington," a show about trains, "Mickey Mouse Clubhouse," and "Sofia the First," a princess show.

Kennedy had her first hair cut recently. She didn't really care for the cape much, but didn't actually mind the actual hair cutting. We were able to put some toons on the iPhone to keep her occupied while Rachel's stylist worked quickly on Kennedy.

Rachel was in Florida last week for a conference. Dad and Kennedy had a pretty good week, even if mom didn't approve of some of their dinner choices. The weather in Florida was not very sunny...in fact it was storming every day and Tropical Storm Andrea came in at the end of the week. Rachel still had a good time re-connecting with some of the regulars at the conference, but was ready to get home by the end of it!

This weekend, we headed over to East Texas.  Jason's company sponsored a charity event hosted by some local aviators.  We met at someone's personal hanger at a small county airport.  They also had a women give a presentation about her record breaking flight around the world.  She holds the world record for the fastest flight around the world.  It was pretty fascinating listening to some of the challenges she faced.

We also headed over to the neighborhood water park.  They have several splash areas for small kids.  Kennedy absolutely loved it.  We foresee heading back several times over the summer season.

This upcoming week will be quite busy for us. On Thursday we head up to Nebraska to celebrate Rachel's cousin, Jon, getting married. This will be Kennedy's second time flying, but we are definitely more nervous about this trip. We will have to report back how she does. It will be fun seeing all the cousin's kids together. Braydon, Kennedy, and Brody will hopefully get along well together!
