And now let's fast forward to two weeks after Halloween, and you see Grace with her new electronic dog, Beanie. He barks. He wags his tail, but he does not poop on the floor. Grace slaved to earn this dog by behaving herself for THIRTY DAYS, and yes, this was all about bribery. Her teacher wanted us to encourage Grace to follow directions. Can you imagine it? Grace not following directions, no, not my Grace.
Moving forward again to Thanksgiving. We had a quiet but enjoyable evening with Aunt Betsy and her friend Aga who has never celebrated the holiday (being from Poland and all). In this photo Craig manfully poses with the turkey. Other Thanksgiving photos here.
Finally we have arrive at last night, and here is Julia on the potty. She's been spending a lot of time there, with spotty results. I have a video to upload of her exploits soon. In the meantime, here are some stinking cute pictures (no pun intended).

Sounds like a perfect Thanksgiving. And I'm totally impressed by the upscale cookware (a real roasting pan! With a rack! and check out the stuff at the sink! (already washed I'm sure...)).
way to go grace on earning a puppy and julia and going on the toilet!!! yeah :) *very cute pics, too!
Very cute as always. Hopefully Murdoch will follow-up with some potty pictures of his own. We are going to try and tackle that in Q1 or Q2 of 2010. Those are some of the corporate goals Andy and I are working on right now for the group.
I love the bribery - we are in the land of stickers right now. It works well but not for everything. Oh well.
