Late Christmas

We always celebrate Christmas with the Berryhill extended family later than most people -- usually on New Year's Day. This gives all of the families a chance to make it to Christmas without juggling schedules or stress. This year, Aunt Brooke and Layton got sick, so we had to delay it. After Caitlin's "pink party" yesterday, we were able to celebrate with Brooke and family. And, cousin Layton will finally get to use Conall and Caitlin's old crib, set up in a guest room at Na Na's.

Why Do Girls Wear Diapers?

Caitlin looked at me with all honesty the other day and said "Mommy, why do girls wear diapers?"
Of course, I laughed. Then I explained that it is just because she doesn't know how to use the potty all the time yet.
Conall laughed at her and started calling her a baby and telling her that it was because she is a baby. I explained that girls aren't the only ones who wear diapers and that Conall wore one until he learned how to use the potty all the time. Conall got really quiet and quit teasing his sister!
