So, I had decided that my hiatus from work and the kid's hiatus from daycare would be the time we approached potty training hard core. Katelyn has been using the potty when she wanted to since before she turned 2, but I never had more than a day to set aside. I just assumed we would stay at home for a week and do it.. She had other plans, in a good way.. She woke up one morning wanting to wear panties. Of course I obliged. Told her that with panties we have to pee in the potty etc.. not on the floor. Well, we had a few accidents and a few poops in the panties, but really we only stayed home that first day. She poops and pees in the potty, of course she still needs help with the pulling up the pants, but I am ok with that. We still wear a pull-up at night, she is not waking up dry so I am not going to try yet.. I am happy with the day time.. Noah has been a bundle of busyness. He is all over the place. So far his eczema has been pretty much under control and he has only been sick twice this winter so far..He gained a pound between his last doc appointment and getting his flu shot at the allergists... hopefully he hasn't lost it before Friday.. He is a "picky" eater.. He picks at his food eats some things in large quantities and nibbles on others..
It is funny how time flies when you have small children.. Actually, time seemed to speed up once I graduated from high school many moons ago.. The kiddos are growing like weeds. Katelyn is chatting up a storm, she was taking Spanish at the daycare, hopefully when we go back in 3 weeks she will be able to continue that.. If not, I will look into classes through the school district or something. Katelyn is jumping off the furniture like she is superwoman. She also is running around like a crazy child. She loved Christmas and will tell you the tree was taken outside and the garbage truck took it away.
She loved the snow. Noah loved to ride on the sled, but since he really couldn't move in his snowsuit, it was not fun to walk or play. The snow wasn't good for snowman building so hopefully we will get some "snowman" snow before the end of the winter.. we also finger painted. It was fun.. the kids loved it and made a mess..
Noah got some on his face too..
There have been some quiet moments of coloring...
It amazes me daily how well the play together for the most part.. Katelyn loves her little brother and he wants to follow his sister around like a puppy dog.. (complete with the trying to nibble her toes). . I didn't have any students for this module so my teaching starts in February.. The kiddos are home with me for 3 weeks so we will have some adventures.. I think we will go to the museum one day and the library often.. Z
