Much Needed Bonding

Kate and I headed off to Alabama Adventure Water Park the other day for some much needed mommy/daughter bonding. I left Whit behind with a babysitter so I could spend the day just with Kate. Kate and I had a really great day and she was very obedient and just a lot of fun. There was a fun little toddler water park and then Kate LOVED the lazy river.

A friend of ours built a play set for his kids 12 years ago and modeled it after one of those backyard adventure play sets. Now that his kids are grown he passed it on to us. Jason has spent a lot of time taking this play set apart, sanding it, restaining it and now finally assembling it! We are still missing the roof but that will be on soon. The slide is called a "turbo" slide and it is true to its name. Kate goes flying off of the slide when she goes down. Needless to say she now only goes down if there is someone to catch her! But there is a great climbing wall on the other side too. Only downfall is this is a pretty intense play set. It is very tall and should be rated for ages 5 and up!

On a very positive note...Kate is finally pooping in the potty on a daily basis. Or at least for the last 4 days. I am not sure what clicked but we are having success and I will take it! Now hopefully this won't jinx it :)

Oh, Laura, I am so happy to hear you and Kate had a great day! I've been thinking about you and praying for you since we talked the other day. And I'm beyond excited for you that she's doing much better with the potty issues! Whit is so adorable too. I can't wait to meet him soon! Love you lots!
