Our potty training with the girls is going pretty well - we let them run around buck naked like you're supposed to (although I'd like to find the person that came up with that liitle gem...) and asked them constantly if they want to go to the bathroom.  Today, February 16, was a really good day - we went a whole morning without messes and used the potty for everything.  Although I'm thinking the girls might be a little too advanced for their age - I turned my head for a second and looked back and...

She was of course stunned to find out that she was busted for doing crossword puzzles on the toilet.  It appears that the fact that they can't spell C-A-T is just a smokescreen.

Hayley, not to be outdone, wanted to go on the potty as well and sharpen up her skills - although she's only on the "one star" crosswords.  Those are pretty easy, really - I can tackle the two star puzzles no problem, so she's got a ways to go...

Daddy:  Surprise!  Smile for the camera!  
Hayley:  Can I get no peace, even on the toilet?  Get that $&*^ camera out of here before I show you what you can REALLY use a telefoto lens for!

And the mess...?

No, this mess isn't what you were thinking!  It's just Shelby and her yogurt...

And she sure enjoys making her messes!  She's definitely much more prone to the "wiping the food on the face and in the hair" kinds of activities than Hayley is.  And Hayley's always right there to point out "Shelby make a mess in the face in the yogurt!".
