After sleeping Monday so i could go to work that night we loaded up the kids and went to the cemetery to visit Kooper. The kids weren’t on their best behavior. Have I not learned my lesson to make sure they have full tummies and that it isn’t dinner/lunch time when we go? Guess not!
The weather is getting nicer or it was and it is hot again this week. So last Saturday while Ryan and I were doing yard work the kids had fun playing outside.
Tonight after dinner I asked the kids if they wanted to have some ice cream! Of course they love it and said Yes! Then Kamryn told me she wanted “Chockate ice ceam” and when I pulled it out of the fridge she started to sing Happy Birthday. Apparently that is the only time I feed them ice cream. I on the other hand eat ice cream much more often than that but the kids are usually in bed. I think you will see why….. 
Keegan ate his entire cone! Kamryn must not have liked the taste of the cone very much she was drinking out the ice cream or trying to get it out with her hands. Kade was too busy playing his DS to care…
I love it when they get along what makes it even better is when they share!
I have been putting off potty training Kamryn for a few reasons:
1. I pushed Kade and it did me no good. He wasn’t ready. So finally after pushing and pushing I gave up. I was very pregnant with Kooper and didn’t have the energy. I had also heard of the horror stories of people who finally got their child potty trained and then they had a baby and the child reverted back for attention. So I decided that he would do it when he wanted to because I knew that he knew what he was doing. About a week before Kooper was born I was home on bed rest laying on the couch and all of a sudden I heard the toilet flush. I hurried as fast as I could waddle into the bathroom and there Kade was proud as can be. He went potty and flushed the toilet too!
Now finally to reason number 2. Kamryn and Keegan are so close in age, I figured that the longer I wait to train Kamryn the sooner Keegan will want to and then I only have to do it once.
Well I think that idea is not going to work because I think Kamryn might be ready. Last night she ripped off her pants and her diaper before I went to work. Then apparently while I was at work she took them off again and Ryan ended up finding poop in one of her toy bins. We aren’t sure if she pooped in there or if she pulled the poop out of her diaper and put it there. Either way she didn’t like it. I guess she pointed to the potty after she did all of this.
3. I don’t know that she is really ready as far as knowing how to hold it and how to “let it go”.
So here we go through the potty adventures!
I am glad I survived the football game today. Ryan had to work and Kade had team pictures an hour before the game. So we had to be there 1 hour 15 minutes before the game out in the 100 degree heat with little ones. It was HOT, I guess it could have been hotter! I got one pictures because the rest of the time I was chasing the kids around trying to keep them occupied. Kade did a great job as a lineman today. He can’t wait to get to play Quarterback or running back. He wants to get to hold the ball!
He wasn’t a happy camper this morning because yesterday his tooth fell out at school when they were doing centers and then this morning when he excitedly looked under his pillow for his dollar there wasn’t one (Whoops!) What kind of tooth fairy is running the show these days? How could they forget? Ryan told him it’s probably because it’s a weekend and maybe the tooth fairy doesn’t work on weekends. I told him the tooth fairy probably didn’t see it because it was wadded up in a sandwich bag. I told him tonight we will put it in a new Ziploc sandwich bag so the tooth fairy would be able to see it nice and clearly!
It’s too bad that Aggies lost last night! It was such a close game. Ryan was pretty bummed! My parents sent Aggie shirts for the kids to wear. They loved them!
