Is it mid-week again? Time for an update!

Rebecca had some adorable pictures taken at preschool last week - check out the proofs here. I think I like the first three the best, but I haven't decided what to order yet.

I got a new cell phone, the Droid Incredible, and it's, well, incredible. It's also a tremendous time suck to have the internet in my pocket 24/7. And the games, lets not forget the games... Ben gives two enthusiastic thumbs up to Fruit Ninja and Angry Birds.

Becca's parent-teacher conference was this morning. Her teacher called her "incredibly strong-willed and intelligent" and said sometimes it's hard to believe she only just turned 3.

Along those "strong-willed" lines, Becca frequently snaps at Ben, and Ben frequently cries when she does so. Yesterday in the car it happened AGAIN (Ben moved back to the second row in the mini van, I think he's afraid to sit in the third row by himself in the dark so anyway they fight in the car again now). I told Ben, "You have to learn how to deal with it without crying!" To which he wailed, "But HOW? They don't teach that in school!"

UPDATE- I feel it necessary to add to this post that I heard from Becca's best friend's Mom today that Becca apparently told her she wouldn't be her friend anymore if she peed on the potty. So her friend peed in her pants. So not only is Becca still refusing to be potty trained, she's now trying to coerce others out of using the potty, too. Add "manipulative" to the list of adjectives describing my daughter.

Cool Phone! I tried to see Becca's pictures, but it didn't work. You have to pick her school (Charlotte Jewish Preschool?) and then enter the school's code as a password - which I don't know. Help!!!

Poor Ben - he has to realize that Becca is going to rule...she is the girl after all! :)

I can't determine which I like best cause I think they are all very good! :)

That is truly funny. Add 'leadership ability' to that list of adjectives. Others will follow her, right off the potty. Too cute and funny.
