I found one!

Every time we go to someone's house with a little kitchen, Lydia loves it and plays and plays. For months I have been looking for a little kitchen that Santa could bring her and finally I found one on Craig's List. ( I love Craig's list) It is now in our neighbor's closet, waiting to be unveiled Christmas morning. I think I am so excited because I had a kitchen as a little girl and I have been hit with a piece of nostalgia.

Beyond doing some early Christmas shopping, I have been helping Mike write some fellowship essays and Lydia has begun potty training herself. Today she went into the bathroom and proceeded to poop on the toilet- all by herself! I think we will start full-fledged potty training on Monday. Apparently I am holding her back.
I have also began looking for a women's basketball league. I cannot think of any hobby which I enjoy more, but playing sports has been one of the things that has been pushed aside since having children. I know that opportunity for certain things changes with the responsibilities of marriage and family, but I think it is important to not lose who we are in the process of becoming wife and mother or husband and father.
