The New Favorite Hat

Kirch took care of Quinn all afternoon last Friday because daycare was closed. They spent the whole day together, going to Starbucks and to the canal in Potomac with Uncle Mike. From what I heard, they had a great time, and Uncle Mike has all those pictures (which I haven't seen, except one - and here it is!)

Fueling up before we head to the canal!

As Mike says, sometimes the cuteness hurts. Ain't that the truth?!? So anyway, during their outing, Kirch and Quinn ended up at Target and Kirch found Quinn this Detroit Tigers hat. In Target. In Maryland. I don't understand it either, but Kirch couldn't pass it up, and Quinn fell in love with it, so I'm thrilled to say that a little piece of home sits on my kiddo's head usually at least once a day for a while!

Other than that, the big news in the Kircher Household is that Quinn is potty training! We're still not full-on yet, but she is going several times a day at daycare and now in the evening when we come home, I put her in her Elmo underwear (which she adores) and she doesn't get into a diaper until bedtime. She's had accidents and she's had great no-drip days, but at least we're working on it! Yesterday we put her on the potty every 20 minutes or so and she did great. At one point, she even stopped dead in her tracks and said "poo poo," which means pee-pee (I don't know why, because she knows the difference) and we got her to the toilet on time, with a little dribble, but we were successful! Tonight, not so much - she peed thru 2 pairs of undies before we finally took a bath. Ah well, it'll come. It's great to at least be training - those no-diaper days are not far away!
