laying low

After a way too exciting and busy week and weekend last week, Rachel and I have been enjoying doing NOTHING this week. It's been rainy and gloomy and just perfect weather for hanging out at home, playing with new toys, which is just what we've been doing all week. Anytime we have gone somewhere she's said she'd rather stay home. She's really loving all of her new toys.

Potty training continues to go well. We haven't had an accident in about a week! My next step is to figure out how to get her to go on the toilet instead of her little potty chair. I was going to work on that this week, but it hasn't happened. She's been doing so well on her potty, doing everything by herself that I haven't wanted to spoil things, but I know I need to, or she'll never be able to go potty when we're out somewhere. Anyone made this transition successfully and have some tips?

I'm very happy to see the sun today, and I know we'll enjoy going out and enjoying it later. Though one of the first things she asked me this morning (completely out of the blue) after she woke up was, "Mommy, can I help you make cookies?" So maybe we'll be making cookies today.
