Photo Weeks #12 and #13

Spring is here! I keep talking myself out of buying rainboots for Junie, who loves to jump in puddles, because I keep thinking that we are going to be done with rain for the season... but sadly looks like we may still have rain this week. Sigh. Some of the blossoms on the tree have already gotten blown off or fallen off, but Junie and I found this very pretty purple one on our walk the other night. The other perk of spring and summer is getting to have some outside time after dinner!

I also made a pie this last week! I attempted to be fancy and do a lattice crust, but I found that it made it harder to slice and serve. Maybe I should have made my top layer thinner? Also I think my recipe for pie crust is for a 9-inch pie and this is a 9.5, so I always have to do weird patchy things around the edges, haha.

We've been very casually potty training Junie for the last couple of months, but this weekend I decided to take her more frequently to use the potty, and you know what, it wasn't too bad. I decided that I'm okay with.. a more gradual potty train rather than ripping off the band-aid, but I guess time will tell whether or not this is a good idea... just have to remember to take her more frequently, haha. We're still in pull-ups and this morning when I took her to school she cried when I took her to her classroom bathroom but hopefully it won't be too hard for her teachers. I feel a tiny tiny bit guilty bringing a not-quite-potty-trained kid into their classroom but we have to start somewhere don't we??
