Ch-ch-ch changes

That is supposed to be from a song that was in Shrek 2, and typical of what is going on in our lives right now! As usual nothing is ever quiet in the Meeks house. Although my post will not be as exciting as my friend Leslie's blog (see here: casademayo.blogspot.com) we do have some new things to report on the home front. First, and the most important is that Chloe started potty training last night. This HUGE leap into adulthood was provoked by the fact that when she has a "number two" she feels compelled within about 30 seconds to take the diaper off her body and leave it on a floor in my house and then come find me to tell me she has "poofed" and taken off her "diafer" (she doesnt say the "d" sound obviously) So yesterday after much grieving over this step 1. because I am fine with diapers a little longer and 2. because she is growing so quickly and 3. because pull ups are nasty, I broke down and went to the grocery store and bought her some pull ups. Last night we made three or four trips to the bathroom and had some minor action there, to which we cheered loudly and got a popsicle. One for her and one for me for holding her on the toilet four times. I guess now I am going to have to break down and go purchase a tiny training potty which I find nausiatingly gross, but she needs to have access to a toilet made for shorties if this will work...so there you go. I will try to capture a picture of her on the toilet it is hilarious! And as you can see below she has learn to roll her eyes at me...no lie!

Second big piece of news is that I will be starting a new job on July 16th. After a very strange turn of events and God leading me to something completely unexpected I have accepted the position of Marketing Director for Christian Homes and Family Services, and have resigned my position at the beloved dealership. It was very hard to do, as all of the people are like family to me...especially my boss. He was very understanding and has made the process easy. So i am looking forward to this new adventure, and am still able to have a day off each week with Chloe, because I will only work four days a week! She is excited about this...

Third big piece of news, this weekend is my 27th birthday and we are headed to San Antonio. My sweet little (big) brother gave me tickets to see Nora Jones...even cooler, it is at the Majestic Theater. So I am really looking forward to some good music, good food, good shopping and good times with family. After living in a large city all my life this city girl misses the hustle and bustle and looks forward to returning home every now and then.

Sorry it has taken me so long to update my blog. I will post some pictures below of Chloe and my parents when they came to take her to the zoo and shopping...you can see she has a love of shoes just like her mom!
