Is This For Real????

To our great surprise and excitement, last Wednesday (5/14), Ethan decided he wanted to say good-bye to diapers and start using the big potty! I had tried on and off months ago to get him to do this but he didn’t want anything to do with it and it was more frustrating for both of us than fun so I decided to just let it happen when he wanted it to happen. When he started using the potty last week I wouldn’t let myself get too excited b/c I didn’t know if this was really for real!!! Well after filling 2 charts of stickers (for using the potty) and very minimal accidents AND using public restrooms I figured this was it! And it felt great!!! So to celebrate his great success we went to Monkey Jump (a giant inflatable gym). He and Lucas had a blast!
Yay Ethan!!! We are so proud of you!

Training time… he came out of the bathroom saying… ‘mom i need you’… why does every kid seem to do this

Jumping Fun!

They had a little craft time too… he made butterflies

- Samuel has a new room!! Well, it’s a shared room, but at least he has a corner now!

- I’m not sure our youngest, Samuel, is going to make it to his first birthday. I think our daughter is trying to get rid of him. I think she loves him, she talks to him and about him often. But she has also done things to make us think otherwise. When he is in his swing she likes to push it beyond what it was meant to go. She likes to poke his eyes. She threw his favorite pacifier into the garbage disposal (unknown to Erin until she ran it). She has picked him up and dropped him repeatedly (and tried to pick him up many other times). She has taken his blanket, covered his face with it and laid on him. She has put a marble, a pretzel, a piece of pizza, and other things into his mouth. I’m just not sure if Samuel is going to make it because his older sister is out to get him.

- This is Ethan’s way of saying this room is off limits for Alayna. Now every door in our house, even Alayna’s own room, has this sign. Even the outside doors. It’s Alayna’s catch 22 - can’t go in, can’t go out.

- We went to the Midwest Homeschool Convention in Cincinnati a couple weeks ago. It was crowded!! Besides the fact that they scheduled the conference to begin at the exact same time as opening day for the Cincinnati Reds (~10,000 convention goers + ~40,000 baseball fans = no available parking + lots of frustration!) it was a nice trip. Samuel enjoyed the big bed, Erin and I took the floor. ;)
