Fall, potty training, and siblings...




I love fall. I love watching the trees change color. The cool mornings and evenings and the beautiful warm Colorado days! Today is gorgeous! It's so warm that when I ran home to see my family for a bit, they had the doors and windows open, so we could get some fresh air in the house! (Fresh air is much appreciated with a two year old, a dog, and two babies in diapers!)




We are trying to potty train our opinionated little two year old! Boy, this is tough! He doesn't mind sitting on the potty. As a matter of fact, sometimes he will sit for a whole cartoon, just hanging out on his potty. Unfortunately nothing comes out. I mean nothing. It's like once you take the diaper off... he can hold it for hours. But the minute you put the diaper back on... the flood gates open wide! We are completely at a loss here.




My sweet, patient husband... he has a clinical case of the shy bladder, but in an effort to give this potty thing a go, he's subjected himself to having an audience of one to attempt to demonstrate how boys potty. This is one area that mommy is at a disadvantage...




Baby girl is just about to crawl! It's amazing how fast they learn! She's rolling all over the floor now, getting into things that she shouldn't be and making brother crazy by taking his toys, messing up his car track, trying to eat his crackers! I love it! It's going to be so much fun watching them grow up together! He already loves her to death and is beyong protective! She just looks at him like he is the best toy in the world! She laughs at him and loves it when he gets on the floor with her to roll around! My brother and I are really close. Next to my husband, my brother is hands down my best friend. Now, granted, we had those years where my mom wanted to kill us, but we really have a ton of fun when we're together! I would love to see them be as close as we are! I think they're headed in the right direction!

My very Own Blog

So, here I am... joining the ranks of those who have willingly opened up of themselves and began thier own on-line journey in creating an e-diary...

I'm not gonna lie to you, I'm a little nervous. I'm not really sure what I will post. Being a recovering perfectionist, ok, so I'm attempting to be in recovery, anyhow...I'm concerned that I will not be entertaining enough! I've read several blogs in my day... And many of these jane and john does could give Dean Koontz a run for his money! I'm a musician... Should I sing? Naw. I'm not a huge fan of narcissists...

So, I'll do my best to entertain... My family is hilarious! Be patient...

At least I'm trying...

This one's for you Sherry!
