We ate breakfast with the Hayes Family beforehand. Papa joined us, too. After breakfast, we set up our chairs and enjoyed the show. Fletcher is a pretty small town, and it was no Macy's Parade, but the kids really liked it, especially the candy. Jacob was so excited to see Santa riding on top of a Fire Truck at the end. We also saw his teacher, Ms. Debbie, walking in the parade with her church.
The cold air must of worn Lydia out! She fell asleep on the 5 minute drive home, and STAYED asleep when I carried her in. This has NEVER happened in her life! EVER.
We also experienced another miracle on Saturday - Jacob pooped in the potty and has been doing so since!!! I cannot tell you how relieved and happy this makes me! Potty training has been the absolute worst part of parenting him so far. He's been going pee-pee in the potty since summer, but that's it. I guess something just clicked on Saturday and he decided to go for it. If you ever need to be taken down a notch, just be a parent to an impossibly strong-willed child. Realizing the lack of control you have is maddening. Its also really hard to not look at all his little buddies who have been potty trained since they were two and not feel complete frustration. I'm just glad that I won't be packing a diaper in Jacob's backpack when I send him to kindergarten!
On Sunday Scott and I had a little brunch date! Craig and Lori gave us a gift card to Rhubarbs last Christmas, and we realized it expires next week. (We haven't gotten out much this year!) Meme watched the kids and we enjoyed a yummy meal, and then did some Christmas errands.
