We did it!!!!

To quote Dora the Explorer..."WE DID IT!!!" (commence the dancing) :) Caitlin is potty-trained, and has moved from training pants to big-girl Disney Princess panties. How awesome is that? Way AWESOME!! My girl totally rocks! I'm a pretty happy mommy right now...:D! Thanks to everyone for their love, support, and advice.

She's having a blast in school too-learning her letter sounds, rhyming words, and same/different. She also has a basic concept of familial relationships, too...she knows Aunt Megan is Mommy's sister (I am reminded of that fact daily), and Jocie is her cousin-friend (we've coined a new term here, and she reminds me of that fact more than once daily...she's a smarty-pants, just like her parents). We're still a little shaky on the rest of the family, so we know who is truly important here...JOCIE!!! I guess that means :P on everyone else...

Mommy's gotten into the swing of things at her school, too-I've had to readjust my schedule to switch from French to Spanish (much easier, less stress), and I've had a teacher changed in one class due to a promotion within the history dept., and it looks like I might have another one due to health issues (different history class)...I'll know by Wednesday what's going to happen there.

Mommy's also gotten a little bit more conscious of our nation's governmental actions due to recent announcements and impending Presidential school speeches...not trying to make this a platform, but suffice it to say I'm more than a little terrified at the current swing of the political pendulum-it's going way off "track" (not exactly the word I am looking for, but you get the idea). I'm mainly getting involved for Cait's sake as she is a part of this nation's future, but this is also (unfortunately) history in the making; I need to be "anxiously engaged in a good cause" (direct quote from somewhere in the Book of Mormon-help me out & tell me where it is).

I'm going to try to keep the blog more current than I have in the past year or so since its creation...squeeze in a few posts between homework assignments!

Love you guys!
