Horray for Abbie!

She finally rolled over from her back to her stomach today. She hasn't done that by herself yet. Stevie helps her roll all the time, but she hadn't quite mastered it herself....until today. We even had her well baby yesterday and the doctor wasn't too worried because she is trying. The doctor was very honest and said it was because she has a big head. Poor kid.

Funny Things for the Day

Stevie has plateaued for potty training. He throws a fit about half the time when we try to go. He did decide that Bear needed to go potty today. He took bear into the bathroom, put him on the Elmo potty and once Bear was done, Stevie had to wipe his "poo bum." At least I know it is sinking in since he is having Bear imitate what he is suppose to do. I just have to make sure Bear doesn't completely end up in the toilet.

I am not feeling so well today, so we took it easy. We tried out toddler time at the library. Stevie lasted for about half of it. I think it will just take some time to incorporate it into our days. This afternoon was a fun day of playdoh. Playdoh was easy entertain for 45 minutes. I could not believe he sat there with his new little play set. Thankfully, nothing got on the carpet.



Abbie and I have Itsy Bitsy Yoga tomorrow. I hope I feel well enough to go. I feel bad because I plan all these activities for Stevie and she just gets dragged along. I wish I could get her out of her car seat more when we do things like story time, I just can't seem to keep a hand on Stevie and it worries me. I think next time, I will try the jeep carrier so she can at least see what is going on. Oh what to do, I need to get my two year old better trained!

Mother's Day Weekend

I feel so blessed to be "Mommy!" This weekend was great. Steve had plans to take us to the Pueblo Riverwalk on Saturday, but Stevie quickly changed our plans and requested that we go back to the zoo to see the baby giraffes. I think he was disappointed last weekend when we had to leave early since it decided to snow. We had a good time and Abbie stayed awake for the whole thing. Stevie got to ride the train and then we took a ride on the crazy fast carousel. It also makes me sick to ride, but he thought it was great.

Today was a very fun day at home. For Mother's Day, the boys made me breakfast and then we played outside for most of the day. My two year old is getting a tan. We tried out our new sprinkler. He was very unsure at the start, but it started to get better. The poor kid was soaked. My beautiful baby girl was just happy and babbling. She sat outside with us for almost an hour watching all the yard work and playing til nap time. It will be nice when I can get her back in the grass. Didn't work out so well today since Steve was doing yard work, but she is trying to play and keep up with her brother.

My kids are beautiful and my husband is wonderful and I couldn't have had a better day!

Potty Training

We have been really trying to focus on potty training. Last week during nap Stevie changed his own diaper. He has been taking his pull up's off during nap time once a week or so and sleeping naked. For the most part there had been no accidents when he has done it. The turning point for me was when I went to wake him up last week I noticed he had changed his pants. The boy had taken off his poopy pull up, threw it in the trash, put his dirty pants in the hamper and then pulled on clean pants. It was hilarious, so now I am making more of an effort. He is still fighting it every other day so I can't enforce to much.

On a side note, the back yard is done! It looks awesome. I even let Stevie go out back by himself to play. It has been great not having the mud and I feel comfortable with him roaming around the yard.

Abbie just loves her brother. He has a way of making her laugh. He will just stand over her and stare and she starts laughing. I can get her laughing, especially when I hit her tickle spots but he can just make her laugh by saying hi. I am so glad my kids love each other.
