Dear Audrey,
How much bigger and smarter you’ve become this quarter!
Important Achievements the Second Quarter:
-COMPLETELY POTTY TRAINED, even at night. We don’t put diapers on you at night anymore because it was irritating you
-However, we still do have accidents. The last times you went (for no apparent reason) was April 13th in the bed, and April 14th on the staircase, April 22nd in the middle of the day. There have been several other accidents that randomly happened. We still put diapers on occasionally at night.
-Very verbal when in comfortable situations
-We have tried to socialize with other children, especially over the weekends
Important Events the Second Quarter:
-Mommy’s cousin, Ms. C came to visit and you had fun playing with her. She also put the finishing touches to your dollhouse that was not built yet. (3/22/13)
-We had a wonderful Easter Party with our church group and friends (3/30/13)
-We went to the “Butterfly Museum” – The World of Wings which you loved (4/6/13)
