Last Friday we went to the children's museum with the neighbors Krista and her 3-year-old Kaden. It was fun - getting in to a real fire engine and then crawling aroung a huge "ant hill". Kaden is more fun to play with than Zac, and he listens to me when i tell him what to do. We also painted and while Kaden played basketball i used the microphone that was at the sidelines for commenting to listen to my voice over the loud speaker. That was cool.
Over the weekend - the first weekend we have been home that mom and dad weren't working - we relaxed, played in the backyard, learned to climb trees, and dad worked on the deck - the everlasting project, and did other chores. The deck is getting even closer to being done than before, actually dad was just being a perfectionist and replacing some boards that weren't layed right. Dad also replaced the brakes in the pickup - the warning light had been on for months. He said they were so bad that we were actually lucky nothing has happened.
Sunday we went to the hospital where daddy works to see the newest baby of our family - baby Anika was born early sun morning to Erik and Heidi Fedor. Erik is aunty Lara's brother, and Anika is their first baby.
Grandma arrived from Tucson on Sunday night and she came over Monday morning. I was so excited to see her, especially because Ariadnee is gone this week on vacation in mexico and I miss her. Grandma watched us for a couple hours while mom and dad went to look at wood for the deck railings, and then we went to dinner at Sweet tomatoes. I ate so well, and zac sat in his highchair through his whole meal, as long as mommy kept putting peas in front of him.
Tuesday mom worked, but me and daddy and grandma went on a hike outside boulder. we picked wild grape vine leaves and grandma is planning to make stuffed grape leaves for zac's first birthday party. mom and dad love grandma's stuffed grape leaves.
Wednesday we were going to go to the fabric store so mom could pick fabric for grandma to make curtains for mommy and daddy's bedroom, but zac took a three and a half hour nap and i refused to take a nap and was ballistic. i finally took a nap around 3 and didn't get up until after 5, so of course i didn't want to go to bed at bedtime. i think i finally fell asleep around 9 or 9:30, after four diaper changes. Did you know that a good excuse to keep getting out of bed is to poop in your diaper after each time mommy changes it? i've been using that technique alot lately, mom is getting pretty sick of it. I also finally fall asleep on the floor alot lately - in my room, or on the landing upstairs. So mommy has stopped letting me use a pullup for my naps - which i was cool with, and last night she said i don't get to use a pullup at night either. I stayed dry all night, and got up in the morning and used the potty that is in my room - that is where mommy found me sitting when she came in to my room. she was REALLY happy.
Yesterday Grandma babysat while mommy and daddy had their dental appointments - their first in three years. I get to go again on monday to get my cavities filled. Mommy and daddy didn't have any cavities, but i got three or four in less than three years - what's up with that?
Talk to you later. Oh, thanks to all of you who have commented - i love it!

Sounds like you are doing a great job learning how to potty by yourself! And an early birthday wish for your brother! Can you believe he is turning 1??? He is getting so big too, but you will always be his big sister that he will look up to. Have a great weekend and let your Mom get lots of sleep! :) Amy
