Potty Training

I got up this morning and decided it was time to potty train Emma. I only have three months until this baby comes and I just don't want to have two kids in diapers. I have pull-ups and I've done this before. I'm probably counting my chickens LONG before they hatch but Emma has already successfully "pooped" in the big potty today (she has peed in the toilet before but that was her first time pooping in it) and her pull up has remained dry. I told her we would all go to get her princess underwear for FHE. The boys will be so excited I'm sure! I had to promise them a stop at the library and Arctic Circle to get them even remotely interested in the whole potty training Emma gig. Like I said it has only been 3 or 4 hours but we seem to be starting out pretty well. I'm sure I just cursed myself!

Happy 7th Birthday Andrew!

I'm a little late posting this, but in all fairness I did have a funeral and some other things going on this day. I wanted to give a Happy 7th Birthday shout-out to my first born Andrew. He turned 7 on June 23rd! I can't believe how much he's grown in the last 7 years. Because I had a funeral that I needed to attend Steve stepped up and did the whole birthday thing. He took Andrew, Jacob and two of Andrew's friends (Dallas and Braxton) to Chuck E. Cheese. I despise that place and was happy to let all the boys go. Andrew got a webkinz, a tomagotchi, a cool bicycle/skateboard ramp (perfect for scraping and breaking numerous parts of your body when you wreck) and three new gamecube games. We love you buddy! I'll post the pictures soon.
