Summer is rolling along, and we have had a lot of fun visitors over the last few days. Aunt Annie and all of the Puccini kids came over and went swimming with me at the Y last week. Aunt Meg came for dinner on Friday and we had a blast. Saturday Joe and Caroline came over with Elizabeth and Baby Brigid. Then on Sunday, Karen and Steve came by with Casey and Gavin. We are all exhausted, but I was a really good host.

I am 22 months now. I blew M&D away yesterday when I counted to 11, spontaneously, unprompted, and correctly! They are so silly. They don't know what I know. Last week I impressed them when I said "Galligan." Hello, people, it's my last name. Shouldn't I know how to say it?? The other big news is that I have been regularly using the potty for the past two weeks or so. I am pretty reliable in the morning, and somedays I have used it in the evening as well. It is a good place to reflect and read a good book. And everyone get so excited!
