Big Girl Weekend!!!

A couple weekends ago it was Big Girl Weekend at the Schutte house. Megan had been sitting on the potty for a year and yet she was still in diapers. So I randomly picked a day on the calender and said, "This is big girl day. Do you know what that means?...It means you get to wear big girl panties and no more diapers." So I grabbed a blue sharpie marker and wrote it on the calender. It was also time for Megan to have a hair cut, her first hair cut! (yes I know 2 1/2 and her first hair cut???) So I lucked out and was able to get her hair cut the day before Big Girl Day and so I decided to really play things up and Big Girl Weekend was created!

Our friend Kelly Castleberry was nice enough to cut her hair for me. Megan has met Kelly before and Kelly loves kids so the hair cut went smooth. Megan held my hand for a few minutes and sucked on a sucker and there were no problems. I think what made her nervous was sitting on the little bench over the chair. But nothing that a huge tootsie pop couldn't handle!

I think she likes her hair cut (more like a trim really) But whatever Kelly did, her hair doesn't fall in her face as much so I'm happy. And Mark, who didn't want her hair cut, could barely tell, so he is happy that she still looks cute as ever.

Helping to play up Big Girl Weekend, Grandma Berthold got Megan some new pj's and a new kid size blowup matteress for when her cousins come to stay the night. Or when she has sleepovers with grandparents/cousins. She was so excited, to have a place for her cousins to sleep that she just had to test it out.

Lucky for her, it was nap time! She helped pick the spot for it to go and she thought it was cool to watch it blow up. And I think it took her about 15 seconds to fill it with all of her stuffed animals! She slept on here for a week and then I had to take it away from her to get her back in her bed (the week prior she slept on a different mattress on the floor because her cousin Kelsey slept there on night)

Oh and just in case you are wondering, Big Girl Weekend went great! Megan is only wearing a diaper to sleep at night and a pull-up when we are out running errands. She is about 90% there so I will take to rare accident over diapers any day! Yay, Big Girl Weekend!!!
