Christmas Morning

Elizabeth increased her level of mobility this Christmas, with a new tricycle left by Santa. She was quite a happy girl, until the rain started and tricycle riding on the patio ended. But we have plenty of sunny days ahead, and I imagine that the tricycle will accompany us on local hikes where paved walkways are provided and many trips to Copperopolis.

In other news, Elizabeth decided to become a "big girl." She gave up sleeping in the crib and is out of diapers. It was a very intense, hands-on procedure, but I am very pleased with her successes and how quickly she adapted to using the toilet instead of diapers. Woo-hoo!
