Potty Update

Luke went to the Library in “unders” 2 hours.
Pottied while we were there, mom said go.
Luke also to a nap that afternoon in unders,
went to get his sister at school in unders, and
went to a carnival in unders. O accidents, until we got home….
Then he walked in the house, sat on the couch and peed! I was upset about the couch.
There is a first time for everything.
Sept 12th, 2007. 2 years and 5 months.
I fully expect today to be disastrous in the potty department.!

School Update

We did get the transfer to the Public school next to us!
Praise the Lord.
It was a last minute thing. One week before school started.
Mackenzie started Kinder.
Her mom (me!) cried!! No surprise there!
Mackenzie did great. She was really ready.
Luke has to say about this whole thing:
"I need her. I need her NOW!"
as we drop her off at school each day.
Momma says: "me too baby, but she needs to learn"
*****
We made it to the third week of school before we got at note home from the teacher.
Mackenzie's fine motor skills...
She is a talker not a writer.
She can carry a conversation with an adult,
but she does not want to hold a pencil correctly.
Of course, this one you can blame on her mother,
I named her Mackenzie, Amy would have been easier to spell!!!
She is working on "Mac" for now.
Her daddy draws his letters backwards, so HE CANNOT HELP.
*****
We have not adjusted yet. It may take us some time.
They grow up so fast. Then they fly away and leave us at home with the little one alone.
I am still keeping Coralyn, Luke's cousin, so they play together.
It is a little crazy to have a 1 1/2 and a 2 1/2 at the same time.
Luke is potty training so that is a mess. Pullups are a scam.
And messes are easier to clean up on tile (Nicaragua, with Mackenzie)
than on carpet and MY couch!
I still say, put them in "unders" and clean it up. They will never learn in Pullups.
(for those of you without children... a 'Pull Up' is a diaper you pull on like underwear,
it is semi absorbent so they don't make a mess but they "feel wet" ,
it is a license for 'accident' is what it is)
Well, there you go. You have been updated.
Whew, that was too much.

Singing!

Luke and Mackenzie were playing house.

Mackenzie gave Luke the option of being the mom, dad or baby.

Luke choose dad and ordered her to be baby.

She demanded to be kid not baby.

She made the "bed" and got in it.

Luke said: "Jesus loves me, Bible tells me sooooo"

In the sing-songy voice of two year old.

He has been liking Sunday School more and more.

Maybe now he is ready for Mother's Day Out.

It starts on Tuesday and I am teaching>

NOT his class. He will have more fun without me!

I am nervous; I will have 13-two year olds.

Praise the Lord for his grace and mercy.
