The kids are amost 3 years old. Potty training is pretty much finished at our house. Havent had an accident in 2 weeks. We only use diapers when the kids go to sleep at night. Wes always wakes up with a dry diaper and goes to the potty right away. We will probably switch him to full time undies this weekend. Mia wakes up, or more likely doesnt feel like using the potty when laying there in the morning, with a wet diaper about every third day. It went pretty easy, especially once they started daycare with the 3 year olds about a month ago. Now if we can just figure out how to stop the tantrums....I'm thinking that....hell I'm done thinking for this year....
Just yesterday the kids and I were out on the deck playing catch with the ball and kicking it around the backyard. After a while we stopped and went back onto the deck. Wes decides he has to pee. We've been working on trying to get him to pee standing up. So, he decides to give it a shot...takes down his pants, walks over to the doggie water bowl and proceeds to fill er up. I was like....at least he didnt crap in it. Playing a game of monkey see monkey doo, Mia decides she has to potty too. Knowing she isnt supposed to pee in the water bowl, she heads on down to the grass....tries peeing standing up and when realizes that doesnt work very well, because her legs are all wet now, she squats down and finishes....i'm telling you, too much of that gondira gene in those kids starting to come out....
Diane's good friend Suzanne came over this past weekend bearing presents for the kids. Wes got a garbage truck that make all kinds of noises and actually empties a garbage can with the press of a lever. He loved it and hasnt stopped playing with it since he got it. Mia and Wes always say the trashman takes out the stinky diapers....not sure what we are going to do with all our trash now that they arent coming to our house anymore since we dont have stinky diapers. Mia got a new doll to play with and it came with a crib and stroller. Wes promptly broke the stroller by sitting in it. That night when it was time for bed, Mia took her old doll that was sitting on her bed, threw it out the door into the hallway and slammed the door shut.
Wes got his first bee sting today at daycare. He was a real trooper and only cried for around 10 minutes. There is only a little welt on the backside of his knee left.
Speaking of bees, last weekend we had a bee swarm in our backyard. There were probably a couple of hundred bees just flying around our deck. Not sure why or what they were looking for, i'm positive they must have smelled Diane...cuz bees love her and are attracted to her. She is the only person I know that can get stung standing in the aisle of Home Depot at 7 in the morning...true story, it really did happen....stung her on the boob....flew right down the front of her tee shirt. Teased her that she had 3 boobs for a while....but I digress. We were planning on going outside to play on the waterslide. I went out armed with 1 full can of bee spray and another fogger of insect/bee repellant....emptied them both, didnt get stung, and wittled the swarm down to a couple of dozen...maybe someone knows...why are bees attracted to ash trees? We have 3 of them in our yard, all of them constantly have bees and wasps flying around them.
Kids are doing great. Growing like weeds still. Talking up a storm....learning like crazy....moved into the 3 room at school 3 months early. They actually bring home homework every weekend. Cant believe that they have to do school on weekends already...last weekend was a mom's questionaire to fill out about the classroom and the activities they are doing and the bulletin boards, didnt get done....i read the front page and didnt know a single answer and gave up....pretty sure diane did the same thing because it still sits without the blanks filled in.
Feel free to come out and visit....basement is 98% finished, only have some minor touch up paint and the bar facing to go.
Can you say Mardi Gras !!!
Nothing like wearing a snowsuit on a 95 degree day, with your butt hanging out !
New toys, yeah
Fun in the sun.
