Ruby at the beach!
First, let me start with the best news... Ruby went pee-pee in her potty on Friday night. The way we reacted you would have thought the circus was coming to town. She just said it hurt and at "itched". I told her to sit on her potty and a few seconds later she was done! We are so proud of her. Angie was right, it is just one of those things you can't MAKE your kids do. We had no luck on Saturday, however, yesterday she went again, plus we give her a quarter:))). Kelly came over Friday night to work on Bridal Shower things and Saturday was Trevor's birthday party. Everyone had so much fun, the food was great, and Trevor got a ton of presents - much to Kim's dismay(and if your a mom, you understand that one: it's not that we are ungrateful - we are sooo appreciative of peoples love and generosity, it just is overwhelming to think of where to put all the new toys, but Trevor's continuous smile was priceless!) Sunday after I put Abby down for her nap, I took Ruby and my Mom & Dad to Seal Beach. I hadn't been in a long time and was craving the smell of the ocean and Nick's. It was so beautiful and Nick's, of coarse, was delicious! After playing on the playground for an hour, I walked Ruby down to the water to look for seashells and watch the waves. It is amazing to think I could give Ruby all the toys in the world, yet nothing compares to the joy and wonderment she has at the beach. I love watching her explore and I felt so guilty that Abby was at home sleeping while we were out having fun:(. After shopping at Trader Joes, we went home and Ruby fell asleep in the car. Abby woke up 15 minutes before I got home. I put Ruby to bed and took Abby out to run errands and order Ruby's furniture. It won't be delivered until May 5 and a whole new adventure will begin - a big girl bed!!! We ended the night with an easy dinner - spaghetti, and I finished all the Bridal Shower favors! I got a good night sleep and woke up smiling because the weekend was so good! Back to work...

and sounds like an awesome weekend. we gotta do something with the girls soon together! i took jade to seal beach not that long ago and we went by the north side jetty and it was pretty gross with trash and dirty sand. but jade does love that playground and the sand to kick and throw everywhere.
When Jackson gets old enough to go out and do things, I'm going to have to go through your blog again to see what you guys did. You do the coolest stuff. Way to go, Ruby!!
