September Highlights

So September has been fun!  Started off with a rainy Labor Day in which Claire went to spend a few hours with YaYa and Jim and Jeff got some stuff done around the house.  Claire took some swimming lessons at the Pelham YMCA (parent-child class).  She wasn't real fond of going under water.  Did well kicking her feet but not too keen on using her arms or jumping off the edge just yet.  We'll go at her pace.  We'll play around for a while.  We also had some fun times at home as football season kicked off as you can see by Claire's adornment of her LSU jersey.  She likes to help me in the kitchen during half-time!  We also had some house-time together since we officially started potty training!  What a monumental milestone for all of us!  She said bye-bye to diapers about 2 1/2 weeks ago and with a few accidents here and there is doing great overall!  We have a silly "happy dance" we do when we have success and M&Ms is always a hit!  Thank you Aunt Andrea for sending the Potty Training Prize Pack!  As you can see, she looks good in her shades!  Kindermusik started back and she can't wait to get there on Mondays!  So far the Bulldogs and Tigers are undefeated and it's a fun time!  We are loving this weather and can't stay outside enough swinging in her swing and kicking balls in the back yard.  It's a long way to the potty from the backyard :)  Here's a few pictures and video clips from September.
