Pretty Crazy!!!

This is one of those moments when you just shake your head and go, "Ok, then!" And then you realize that you have no life, because your second thought is that you're going to have the most awesome nanny-blog post EVER!

This morning Abby and I were driving over to meet the cousins and go swimming; we pulled up to the main road, and I look to my left to see if I could cross to the median, and, I kid you not, an AIRPLANE is barrelling down the highway towards us! I pulled over out of the way, and the plane went past us, down the sideroad, and plowed into the woods, where it crashed between two trees.

Everyone on the highway pulled over and came running, cell phones in hand. A couple of the guys pulled the plane out of the woods, and the pilot - an older man - got out and seemed ok, was walking around and everything. I had a hunch that traffic was about to get crazy, so I went ahead and crossed the road and parked so Abby and I could see the plane (she was pretty excited about it, lol). About five minutes later, an ambulance, fire truck, and fleet of police cars pulled up, and a few minutes after that, a police helicopter started circling.

The fun part is that when everything pulled up, Abigail named them: "Airplane... fire truck... ambance... car." :)

All in all... CRAZY DAY! :) You can see pictures and the news report here.

Also, potty training is going MUCH better... She's pretty much saying "No!" to everything I ask (this morning I asked if she wanted a snack, and she yelled "No!" as if I'd told her I was going to hang her upside down by her toes) but I've learned that if I tell her we're going to go sit on the potty anyway, she doesn't fight me. This morning she was only wearing a diaper and PJ top so that made it easier to do pottying. So far we've had a great day - she's gone on the potty 4+ times and only went a little bit in her pull-up before I caught her and took her to the potty.
