Well, I'm coming out of retirement to start blogging again. I feel I have our home-life under control enough to escapt and blog as well as having something worthwhile to read. Today is my birthday and I'm so glad to spend it with JJ and Beau. Robert is in Denver on business. Next month they turn 1 and 3. They do grow quickly. Each day they play more and more together and it is so fun. JJ is protective of Beau and at the same time his biggest nemesis. Hard to believe the malicious pushing, hitting, toy-taking, and yelling that comes from one big brother to a little brother. I believe it is all just part of the process. At least he will apologize. The biggest news is that JJ is starting to potty train. Yesterday he peed three times in his little potty. It would not happen but for the sake of a candy reward. Still a success. But then last night after the victories and de-diapered himself and peed on the couch and then the floor. Mind-boggling! So...great that he does not want to use his diaper but bad that the alternative is not always the potty. We'll see how today goes. There is a shiny firetruck that rests in plain view but out of reach for the first toddler to poop in the potty. He has done it before but it is time to become a habit. These are the current day adventures in our home. Aside from almost daily trips to the gym and twice a week church outings there is not much out-of-home excitement. It works for us.
