Diaper Free?!?

Could we really be on our way to the end of diapers??  The Easter Bunny brought Joey a package of Spider Man underwear and he was thrilled!!  We told him that he could wear big boy underwear when we got back from our Disney Vacation.

When we got home he went right to his room and brought me the underwear.  We started on Saturday and it went as you would expect.  Lots of laundry and no pee in the potty chair.  Sunday was an open house for selling our house so we had him in pull ups for the afternoon and still no success getting pee in the potty.  Then when it was just Mommy and Joey for the better part of the day on Monday there were a couple successes!!  Once he figured out he got candy every time he used the potty he was tired of changing clothes and taking his pee pants to the washer himself.  In the last 4 days we have only had 2 accidents and one doesn't count because we had a backyard full of kids playing and he just didn't want to come inside and miss anything fun.  The other was a poopy pants today and that usually takes longer to master.

We still put him in diapers at naptime and bedtime, but he has started coming to me to let me know he has to go!!  The next big challenge will be the cross country road trip coming up!!  Then we will have to see how he adjusts to the move.  Could we really be diaper free by summer time??  One can only hope and keep a big supply of potty treats around :)

Plumbing Plunders

Well this may get a little long winded as our plumbing problems have been on going for a long time. For those of you who don't know we built a brand new house and moved in April 14th, 2006 so it's less than a year old. This past summer I noticed that our toilets and sinks gurgled often and in August I called the builder to send the plumbers out under our 1yr warranty to check it out. They came and basically made me feel like I was hallucinating. They said they cleaned the lines and there wasn't anything suspicious so if they gurgled again to give them a call and they would come back out, but if they were REALLY gurgling the problem would mean tearing into our foundation and we wouldn't want that now would we. No, I didn't want that so when they started gurgling again in the fall I just ignored it as the plumber said it wasn't really an issue. Well in February 2007 it could no longer be ignored as sewage started coming up the drains in our shower and bathtub...

Santa Claus is Comin' to Town

Well, I'm not sure what made me think I could sew. . . I thought sewing a santa suit wouldn't be too difficult if it was part of a "kit". The base playgroup was doing some Christmas pictures of the kids and I thought I could get the suit done in time to have Daniel take an early lunch and show up as Santa. Well this "kit" had very confusing directions. They may as well have been written in Japanese!!! After spending an entire 3hr naptime studying and attempting to cut out the pieces I was beyond frustrated and ready to cry. I ended up using my resources and sending out a very desperate email to EVERY email address I had for people that lived near me (there are some playgroup lists with emails of people I don't even know). Within 30 minutes a friend, Erin, from my MOPS group responded so I called her and she was able to help me figure out how to cut the pieces out correctly!!! Ok so the pieces are cut out, know what do I do!?! Well. yesterday I r...

Kindergarden Slideshow

I just updated pictures on Picasa with a 2009_May album. There are some older pictures in that folder that I just received from Alan's teacher in order to make the Kindergarden slideshow. I LOVE the pictures from field day!! I will try to upload the slideshow here.
