I am beginning to see the light...

at the end of the diapering tunnel.

I wash a couple of diapers (apprx. half a pail) weekly. Beatrix has a couple of accidents during the days and is wearing a diaper at night for sleeping. She will even initiate her own use of the small potty, and then come get me to show her awesome achievement.
Irina, too, is using the potty on her own initiation and having fewer accidents. They are both taking their pants off when the pottying urge comes to them.
It's very exciting for me to think that within a few months I may not have dirty diapers to change and wash on a daily basis.

Baby's First Burn & Haircut

Memorial Weekend 2010, the family took a little camping trip. Beatrix loved every minute of it (except the ant bites). She swam all day and played all night with a few close friends.
She learned how to blow a whistle that was gifted to her and wears it pretty much all day at home.
The only casualties were her long tresses of hair, by the first night they were tangled and dreaded into one dreadlock on the back of her head. She is enjoying her new chic haircut!

(notice the whistle around her neck)
