Jesus where are you?


So on Sunday Afton kept telling me she had to go to the bathroom during sacrament meeting. So instead of being in and out we sat out and listened to the meeting. So we were sitting there and she asks me-mom, where is Jesus. I said he is in heaven watching over you, making sure you are being a good girl. So then I was sitting there listening to the speaker and Afton goes right under one of the speakers the sound is coming out of and says-Jesus? Jesus? It was pretty funny to say the least. The only thing I can think of that would make her think that Jesus is talking on the loud speaker is when we listened to the message at the visitors center in Oakland while looking at the statue of Christ. The sister missionary asked Afton-do you want to hear Jesus talk and Afton looked at her worried and shook her head no-haha. We all kind of laughed.

Walking


Yes Isabel can walk-she just chooses not to. Come on girl we know you can do it!!! It took a little coaxing with some jelly bellies, maybe we will just have to stock up on them-we will have her walking in no time-haha.

The photographer



I think Afton thinks her calling is to become a photographer. She takes some amazing pictures as you can see here.

I got dressed myself


No I would never let this outfit leave the house, but it is a hilarious memory none the less. She got all this on by herself and came in to show me how beautiful she looked.

Isabel


I bought Afton some sunglasses a couple of days ago. She will wear them a little here or there, but Isabel LOVES them. I wish I had video of her wearing them in the car tonight. She thought she was the coolest little girl ever. It helps that she looks so dang cute in them too. I love this little girl. She was doing this thing with her tongue that I really have to get on video. It is hilarious. Anyhow here is a picture of my cute little angel in her cool glasses ready for bed. It makes it all the more better with that wild and crazy hair.

Dumbo



Afton calls any elephant we have Dumbo. I think she might think that is what elephants are called. So today I offered to get her a "dumbo" if she went potty in the toilet all day. She did-even when we took her out in her panties. So we went to Chevy's for dinner tonight. There was a very nice guy there making ballon animals. So he said can I make a flower or a butterfly. Little does he know how much Afton is in love with elephants. So I asked him if he could do one. He did it and an amazing job at that. She loved it and I loved the fact that we didn't have to go by the store to buy her a "dumbo." So here is a picture of her elephant. She slept with a ballon animal tonight-haha!!

Potty!!

So I do not have a picture to document this momentous occasion, but yesterday I decided when we got home from the park that I would put Afton in some underpants. So when I do this I usually go throughout the day saying-do you have to go potty?-to which she replys-no! So I had gotten on line for a second and grandma was playing with Isabel and grandma comes and tell me that Afton is in the bathroom. So thinking she was just making a huge mess I yelled-"Afton get out of the bathroom." Grandma said-no she is going potty. So I got up and she had put back on her underpants and was leaving the bathroom. I looked in her little toilet and she had gone pee and poo poo. YES!!! I was so excited-without being asked-or telling me she had to go to the bathroom she took it upon herself to go in and do it herself. I guess people who say-when they are ready you will know-are right. So she has underpants on again today-we shall see how it goes today-fingers crossed.
