We had a great conversation with good friends last night, and somewhere along the way we brought up romance, and it must have stuck with Micah, because I found this when I got home this morning! Talk about quick results! I love this. It totally made my day!
Potato Joe. It's a counting book. I can't even tell you how many times
we have read it in the past two months. That's right. Two months. I definitely had a library fine today, but it was worth all 875 pennies. Look at that happy little reader!
I know its gross to write about this, but we've been potty training since June 1. Hannah figured out how to pee in the potty in two days, and has been pretty much accident free ever since. Sounds easy right? Not so much. She has pooped her pants every.single.day.since. she has pooped in the potty a few times, but that was really just a matter of "timing the pitch"...she didn't quite go in there all by herself. Well, time to brag a bit. Today she did it. She's back on the bucket potty, but she went in quietly all by herself and pooped in it. Her motivation? Mellowcreme pumpkins. I got the idea from Joy's Hope and thought I'd give it a shot. It works. Like a charm! (At least for today)!
I had to laugh a little when I recently bought a small blender, and of came with a sippy top.... designed to drink straight from the blender, as of its just too much effort to put the drink in a cup, ha! Well, it turns out it's genius... I can often be found sipping my protein shake straight from this blender, just before washing it so I can do it all again! Here I am, just back from my morning stroll with Gus. Bringing the blended full of morning Shakeology was a first today... sometimes I wonder what the neighbors might think. At least it's so dark they can hardly see... I was so happy with my lazy little blender there!
For one reason or another, dinnertime has always been a rough time for Hannah. We try all kinds of different games to make it fun for her: everyone takes a bite at the same time, Daddy shows her a scab when she takes a bite (not my favorite, but it seriously worked for a week or so), fun cookie cutter shapes, eating races, and of course, the airplane. Micah is really good at making these games up, and here's the latest: moustache fun! This makes her laugh every time... can't be cranky when you're pretending to rock a 'stache! Aren't they cute?
This is why I rush home after school... though I am feeling so heavy in the head from a sinus headache, Hannah cuddled up to me and lit up my life with her sweet smile. A little vitamin-H for sure... made me feel a LOT better! Now we wait for Daddy to bring home the pizza...
