Potty Trained!

Hi everyone! I'm sorry to have taken a hiatus from Katie's blog over the summer. We were quite busy in a short amount of time. Please check back in soon, I plan to have pictures from our adventures posted. (pictures are always more fun than just text!)
Just some highlights:
*Katie did more swimming with Miss Kathy/Miss Cynthia at SwimOtters this summer and by August could dive, kick, float, backstroke ("chicken, airplane, rocket") all in succession to swim the length of the hotel pool! We would passively 'guide' her along so she wouldn't run off-course and into the pool wall.
*Katie went fishing for the first time in Almont, CO at Three Rivers Resort. She became very good at casting but the fish were eluding most of us at Family Camp. She also had her first outdoor pee-pee experience when we needed to pull over alongside Hwy 285 just north of Buena Vista for a quick potty stop. We were a mere 10 minutes from the Gunsmoke truckstop restroom but this couldn't wait! We were so proud that she could pee with trucks, cars and motorcycles whizzing by us on the highway.
*She turned 3!!! I get teary just thinking how quickly those three years have gone and what an amazing little girl she is. Most often, Katie is much smarter than we give her credit for.
****Last but best, she is officially potty trained! Katie has slept the last 2 nights with her 'big girl panties' on and been dry until morning. She's given up on wearing pull-ups at night as she's been doing since June. Does anyone need 15 new pull-ups? ;o)

Keep checking for the pictures I'll have posted soon!
