crazy life

Life just seems to go by so fast when you have two young children.   This can be a good thing when your spouse is deployed but mine came home at the end of Feb on emergency leave when his mother's husband passed away.  I was glad to have him home early even though it wasn't under ideal circumstances.

Right now I am stuck at the house for the week trying to force David into potty training.  We started Sunday taking away all diapers, pullups and underwear of any sort during the day (still using diapers at night) and have a potty in the living room and one in his bedroom and so far we only had one accident yesterday while he was sitting at the table for lunch.  I am hoping to reintroduce big boy underwear at the end of the week. 

Then my next challenge will be figuring out how to get Amelia to go on the potty.  She will hold it for several hours if she does not have a diaper on and waits for that nap time and bed time diaper (we cant get her diapers locally so we try to leave her naked as much as possible).  She hasn't figured out how to get down of her bed yet so I cant just leave her with out a diaper at nap time with a potty in her room like I have been with David.  If you have any ideas please leave them in the comment section as I can use all the help I can get on this.

In my last post I mentioned that David would start Basketball at the YMCA,  well that was interesting and it will be a while before we try to do another sport.  He mainly ran around the gym while we were there.  They had 4 teams all in the same gym so there was lots of ciaos and confusion for the younger ones and David still doesnt have the focus needed.  He would usually do ok during the first half which was the  practice but when it came to the second half which is when they had games he was done and just wanted to run around and do his own thing.

I really should get better at keeping this up but some times life just moves a little to fast.  I hope everyone is having a wonderful Tuesday.
