Ellie gets a new ‘do

Miss Ellie’s hair had gotten so long and I loved it, but it was so hard to manage.  The daily battle with the tangles wore us both out and we decided it was time for a new ‘do.  She lost some inches, but none of the sass!

Poo-poo Coming!

Charlie has started showing some early signs of being interested in potty training and has successfully gone in the toilet a few times (yay!), but he gets very anxious when his diaper is off, spending most of the time holding his bobo with one hand and his front bits with the other, saying "poo-poo coming! poo-poo coming!" (with increasing urgency). Damian and I, always the nurturing, mature parents, think it's hilarious and are usually far too busy laughing to relieve his anxiety by putting a diaper on. Tonight, Charlie went on the potty, then we brushed teeth and headed into his bedroom (Charlie was diaperless). He was crawling around while I put Ellie's diaper on and he started freaking out -- "poo-poo coming! poo-poo coming!" -- at which point, he tooted and whipped around to see if it was...uhm...productive. I can't help it -- some bathroom humor is funny.

Keanan’s first wagon ride

We’re still getting so much use and enjoyment from the wagon that Shiny Grandpa and Meme got for the kids 2.5 years ago – the kids love it and it comes in handy more times than we could’ve imagined.  And now Keanan loves it just as much as his sister and brother do – particularly when his brother is the one driving and his sister is entertaining him.

It’s not quite as much fun when his brother tries to fold down the seat while he’s still sitting in it:
