Trip to Mississippi

Well we went to Mississippi after all. Clint's family normally goes after the holidays but Clint didn't think his work schedule would allow for it this year. But, after a bunch of finangaling he managed to get enough time to allow us to go see all of his family. We haven't been since February so Melanie is a completely different child than they all remember. Since she has been doing such a great job potty training we were a little scared about the trip. Melanie has had quite a few completely dry days (sometimes even including nap!) and many days are just involving one accident. We put a pullup under her panties for the car ride there and back just in case and took her little potty with us. She did great!!!! She was dry the entire trip there and back and only had 1 accident in Mississippi (at a Wendy's eating a frosty- I bet she was scared that if she stepped away from the Frosty it wouldn't be there when she got back). The funniest thing was the drive back...we were on the interstate and she said "Mommy potty" and I gave Clint "the look" and he proceeded to pull over to the side of the road and I took out the training potty and Melanie peed on the little potty on the side of the interstate and we were on our merry way :) She was sooooo good on the entire trip. Thank goodness for Nanna who entertained much of the time. Melanie really got into figuring out the relationship between everyone and their names. She would say, "Nanna's big brother Doug" or "Memaw's brother John T" it was quite funny. Melanie had to sleep in our room which we were a little nervous about but after crying for less than a minute in her pack and play she slept in her bed and us in our both nights without any complaints. THANK GOODNESS!!! Clint's parents took most of the pictures but I have just a couple.
