Andrew’s been growing up so fast. Just this week he’s learned some new things that really open up a new era for us.
- Potty Training: We’ve just started letting Andrew try using the toilet, so he can test it out. My question is, what do you do when your little boy’s stream doesn’t come straight out like it should, but instead comes out shooting up at a 45 degree angle? I’m thinking Lysol wipes!
- “All Done”: Andrew can climb out of his bed now and can skip a nap. He comes walking down the stairs and calmly informs me that he’s “all done.” Last night he got out of his bed when we put him down for the night too. I think he smelled the cookies Scott and I were enjoying by ourselves.
- “Watch”: The little guy just learned this word yesterday, and has already said it 100 times. I guess we can look forward to his endless gymnastics and daredevil tricks, being always commanded to “Mommy, Daddy watch!”
So, I’m just a little nervous for all this craziness.
Oh, I think we should add a number 4: Zana and Elira can climb stairs.
We posted some new pictures from our everyday summer adventures, around the house and elsewhere. You can see them here.
We did our best to tag the girls correctly. See if you can guess which is which before mousing over the photo to find out. The most correct guesses wins a prize.
To celebrate the end of the school year for us, we took a two day trip to Nauvoo and Carthage. It was fun, and the children did a good job not going crazy in the car. Catherine is hopefully going to edit this post some time and provide some of the details of our trip, but for now we have posted some pictures on picasaweb.
