Potty Training Followed By A Nap

Potty training is always a unique adventure for parents. We got lucky with Brooklyn who managed to potty train herself. Matthew has been more of a challenge because he gets so involved with his playing activities that he does not take a break to use the restroom. Well he is improving and he was calling for me the other day to share with his recent accomplishment. He takes his potty time very seriously. In the meantime Brooklyn was showing her excitement in a different way.





The Kids Try Bowling

As summer approached I began to get that summer vacation itch. This is the first summer since 1988 that I do not have a official summer break. I called in sick to work and decided it was time to stomp the kids at bowling. They absolutely loved it. Brookyln was able to toss the 6 lb. ball without too much trouble. Each time it was like a scene from the movie Uncle Buck. There were a few tried where the ball just stopped. Matthew displayed his independent attitude yet again. he did not want any help with any aspect of his game. I had to sneak a little tap on the ball to ensure it made it to the pins. The kids enjoyed themselves but I think they enjoyed to french fries a little more.
