Potty, School & Soccer, Oh my!

This past weekend we attempted to potty train Emma.  She did great, in that she figured out how to hold it and not go...  But she would scream and cry on the potty and not go there either.  So, we tried to work things out for three days, but then decided we had to go back to diapers.  Hopefully, she'll be ready to try again real soon!  Here she is in her undies!  She LOVES her undies and really wants to wear them!  LOL
 

I got to hit up some of the Labor Day sales and get the kids some clothes - Emma loved her new Hello Kitty shirt, jeans and tennis shoes so much she had to put them on right then!  =)  She's worn her new shoes everyday since! 


Then, this past Tuesday Drew started school!  He is in th 4 year old class this year, and his teachers are Miss Lori and Miss Laurie.  He was pretty excited about school, but also pretty calm and confident like it was no big deal.  Here he is before I took him to school in the morning (super man pose!).
 

A bunch of my friends on Facebook were posting pictures with their kids holding a sign (with the idea that you do it every year so you can compare every year later on).  When I was making the sign and asked Drew what he wanted to be, he said "doctor!"  And before when we'd asked him what he wanted to be, he'd said he wanted do something where he could help people.  =)

 
And later that same day, Drew had his first soccer practice!  He was pretty excited about new cleats and getting his shin guards and soccer socks out! 
 

Chad had to stay the night out of town for work, so Emma and I took Drew to his practice.  She was so good and sat on our blanket going through her toys in her backpack while I chatted with one of my friends.  (Drew is actually on the same team as two of my friends' kids! yay!)  I got one decent picture of Drew before it started pouring on us!!  I had to grab all our things and run to the Jeep with the kids!  Since he only got to do half of a practice, we decided to go out for pizza instead.  We went to Fuel Pizza and shared a dairy free pizza.  Of course, it started pouring again as we were getting ready to leave, so we had to hang out and have some Skittles from the candy machine for dessert!  It was definitely a fun and busy day!
