July

Alisha says: It was oh so hard to return to the heat after our Park City vacation and as much as we immediately wanted to plan another trip I told Dave that we needed a few weeks of routine at home to really work on potty training with Skye. She is enrolled to start a little preschool two days a week mid August but it is a requirement that they are potty trained. We had a few rough days but she is finally starting to get it and I am beginning to think there is hope. The thing that finally started motivating her to do #2 on the potty was the reward of getting 2 oreos. So other than that we have been spending a lot of time in the pool where she continues to amaze me with her swimming skills. She can swim the length of our pool all by herself. She is good at holding her breath and looking around while under water. We have also tried a few other water related activities and took Skye paddle boarding and tubing on the Salt River.

Skye's vocabulary is growing every day. She knows a lot of words and is constantly asking "what's that" these days. It is fun to have more "conversations" with her and just to see what comes out of her mouth and what her little mind is thinking.

She has started saying the dinner prayer all by herself. It is adorable, mostly she just whispers a few sentences where we are not really sure what she is saying and then ends with a loud, clear, Amen!

First tiny top knot hairdo!

Early morning bike rides everyday!
