Potty Funnies

I just thought I would share the funniest thing that Hailey does. Here's basically a run down of how it goes. Hailey, in a public place (grocery store, mall, restaurant, etc.) will say she has to go to the bathroom. Then, I take her there. As soon as we walk in and she sees the toilet, she gives this yucky face, says it is dirty or stinky and walks out, refusing to even consider going to the bathroom on such a toilet. Then, if we don't return home quick enough that she can hold it home, she will tell me that she has to go camping potty. Yes, this is the term in which I have explained going outside, or when I hold her up. So, we return once again to the bathroom, only for her to insist that I hold her above the toilet. Granted, this only works if the bathroom was dirty, not stinky. If it stinks, there is no chance of her going there, she will hold it 'til we are home. She has even gagged before from the smell of public restrooms. Her gag reflex is so sensitive. If she smells her own bowel movement it is a common occurrence to get a gag or two out of her while she wipes. Derek says that only my child would care if a bathroom was dirty or stinky. Any other two year olds care that you know?!?!

A Milestone

Yay class of 2010! This last Friday Derek had his White Coat Ceremony. It is basically a formality, but fun none the less. It is a ceremony where all the students receive their white coats, as they are now going to enter into the clinic and work on patients!!! It was a lot of fun and we went to this fun restaurant, Hibachi grill, afterward with some others of our year to celebrate. We are so proud of Derek! By the way, check out the face of our friend Ben in the picture of Derek and I at the restaurant, typical Ben!!

Nerd for Life

So, with my (Kristen's) finals finally done for the semester I feel a little relief. Yet, I am realizing how big a nerd I am. I have to wait for the results of a couple of papers to know my final grades and I am dying!! Not only do I want to know if I got the A, but it kills me to think that I might not. Plus I got an 89% in one of my classes which just makes me angry! So, I guess that I still have more to learn, that B's are okay, I guess, if I have to, if you make me, uggghhh!!! And, hopefully the rest will be A's. But, another semester down toward the degree, so I just shouldn't complain.

Feliz Cinco De Mayo

Yesterday a friend in our ward, Reina Barton, put together a Cinco De Mayo party. The kids had a lot of fun!! We got to eat yummy nachos and swing at a pinata and make maracas! Thanks to Reina and everyone else who came and had a fun party!!
