CLOTHS, ELMO, NAMES

So far this month has been a little upside down!!! We decided to build shelves in our closets, which is great but... we have cloths everywhere!!! Not kidding...downstairs, in the living room, piled on Kinley's big girl bed. Greg and I even slept in Kinley's bed one night cause ours was too crowded with cloths. Wow, this makes it sound like we have a ton of cloths:) We do, but not as bad as this sounds:) The cloths that were on our bed, are now on Kinleys so we can sleep in our bed again. We were just too tired to put them in the other room that night. Anyway!Greg, bless his heart, is sick, so he hasn't been able to paint the shelves. As for me...I don't want to paint, because I already painted Kinley's room, and I felt so sick after. So paint...I am staying away from while I am pregnant. So its been an adventure getting ready in the morning digging through cloths:) Greg has a great attitude, as usual, and commented yesterday..."Nothing like walking into the living room in your garments looking for something to put on." I thought it was hilarious, but sometimes, things like that are only funny to those in the situation:)

On top of all the unorganized way of living, that drives me crazy, I decided to potty train McKinley! She is doing great!!! She wears Elmo panties(She got to pick) all day, and then gets to wear Dora pull-ups at night! Yea! She's only had a few accidents due to toy distraction! She loves to pick out her own panties in the morning, and looks so cute on the potty while she reads books! There's a part of me that still doesn't want to get my hopes up, but at the same time...I AM NOT GOING BACK TO DIAPERS!!! We've started this process, we are not going back, talk about confusing the poor kid if we put her back in diapers! Besides, she is doing so well, maybe it won't turn into a bad thing EVER!!! Cross your fingers!

One more thing...I asked Kinley what we should name the baby. She looked at me, thought for a minute, and then proudly announced 'TOEPICK'! Where she heard that word I have yet to discover, but she has stuck to the name. Every time Greg or I ask her what we should name the baby, she looks at us like..."Really? I already told you...'Toepick'."

Obviously that won't be her name, but at least Kinley has more ideas than me. I guess I need to start looking a little harder for a name, otherwise, Toepick might just win out:)
