day in photos

what a week it has been!  i spent my first days back on campus and let me tell you...it was really tough for me.  thankfully, my mom was in town to help us with channing and the two of them had such a good time together.  this included toenail painting, practicing with the new potties (we now have two in the house) and giggling like crazy.  she headed out this morning after a lovely walk.  can i say one more time just how much i appreciate my mom!??! i'm busy working a few more felt pieces for a sale i am having at eon tomorrow.  i will be there from 10-1 if you want to stop by and say hello!  the bird has become very excited, as of yesterday, about the piano downstairs...which she sees every day but never really pays much attention to.  well, ever since she and nanna decided to give it a try yesterday, it is all she wants to do!  That, and carry her new frog potty all over the house.  We haven't actually used the potty for what it is meant for but she likes to sit on it, take it apart , carry it about the house and let her friends have a seat to test it out.  never a dull moment in the gray household !

and sometimes a seat...but ONLY with the diaper on.  she won't sit on it without a diaper on.  we aren't sure what that's all about yet.
