Potty Training: honestly, I’ve considered it. The minute he poops/pees, he rips down his pants and takes off his diaper. But do I think he’s actually ready? No. He just hates the feeling. He also has to wash his hands the minute he gets them dirty at supper. My sister “claims” her daughter was trained at 18 months. Lololol Nope. She had accidents daily till she was 2.5. That isn’t trained. My sister was trained to take her to the bathroom every 45 minutes. No thanks.
Still no words other than ya and mama and sometimes dada. He signs please now (only took 9 months of practicing 🙄) sort of says thank you.
Also loves to climb. He climbed the play structure at my parents which is a ladder type thing.
He just makes me laugh all day. He is so funny and so cute. Me and DD were painting our toes the other day and he just had to take off his socks and DD painted his toes. Then when we to my parents house he had to take off his socks and show them. It was too cute.

I put C and ds1 in our bedroom with some toys yesterday while I showered. When I came back in, I found that c had pulled all of the Kleenex out of the box, one by one, to create a giant Kleenex mountain. Then while I was unpacking groceries, he somehow got into the bathroom (we keep the door closed religiously) and put two shoes in the toilet.
Later that afternoon we wandered around some garage sales with my parents. He threw a tantrum after we left each one, so I’d have to carry him literally kicking and screaming. But then we would get to the next one and he’d be fine.
He can do a couple of animal noises. Woof woof, ooh ah for monkey, and he growls for anything that looks scary (dinosaurs, tigers, etc). He can also shake his head “no” which is amazing! He can understand so much more than I thought and it’s cool that he can tell me “no” when he doesn’t want whatever it is. Although I’m sure sometimes he just says no even if he’s not sure what I’m asking him.

My grandma is in the hospital. She fell and broke her elbow. She's ok but she's 98 so it won't heal. I had the babies draw her some pictures this morning.
H took ds2 to clean his boat most of the day. Then haircuts for all boys this afternoon.
Going out tonight for drinks with some friends. I went shopping alone yesterday and found super adorable leather pants for 4$ (!!!!) but it's really cold and snowy so I can't wear them 😔 first world problems

cdnfarmgirl I think just hating the wet/dirty diaper feeling is a big step, though. DD1 did NOT care. Like, I wished she did because I think it would have motivated her to get going on the PT a little easier.

Our neighborhood egg hunt is cancelled for snow so we're going to check out our house then go to the kids STEM expo at H's work. After that the girls are having a evening with my folks while we go see Endgame tonight.

She does understand a lot, though. She understands a lot more than she can say herself. It is pretty awesome to be able to tell her to grab her shoes, and she actually does it. #lazy

We aren't seeing it for another 2 weeks, because we are OOT for a wedding next weekend, and that's when the sitter can come anyway. I am glad she is usually available, though. It is sometimes hard not having family in town, but having a reliable sitter is also great.

Hi, all. I am working today. I went in as early as the Saturday schedule allows (6 am) and it turns out that it is a pretty light day. Fingers crossed nothing comes up. I went in early because our good friends' son's 3rd bday party is today. H was going to take the girls and then I would meet them there, but I think I will be able to leave early and go with them. So that's nice!

Just recently he started shaking his head no too. It's super cute, and very helpful, that he answers all my yes or no questions now. Especially since he doesnt talk much

Sorry for the snow everyone.
DD and I are just having cereal for breakfast. She makes a giant mess, but it keeps her busy for a long time. I'm trying to teach her to bring her head to her spoon and not just lean back and bring the spoon to her mouth trailing milk the whole way 😂

We're under a winter storm warning... I'm not amused.
It was my day to sleep in so naturally ds2 slept till 8 too. H got up early with ds1 but he's the easy one. I just know ds2 will be up at 630 tomorrow when it's my turn to get up 🙄

I’m so excited for today. MIL already picked up ds1 to go to a kite making class, then when C wakes up from his nap we’re dropping him off with them. The ILs are keeping the boys (along with my niece and nephew) all day and overnight. We’re going to spend most of the day spring cleaning but then we’re going out to dinner and to see Endgame tonight. I can’t wait to sleep in tomorrow.

Haven't been around much cause ds2 got sent home from school yesterday morning. He's suspended for 5 days for fighting. I'm so disappointed and frankly in shock. He's a good kid and I never expected this from him Oh no. That really sucks.

Wow that's one epic tantrum lol She was pissed because the handle lock accidentally locked her out (it sticks sometimes) so she threw a brush from the yard at it. Luckily it didn’t shatter and no one got hurt. But yeah. No idea how much that is going to cost to get a pane replaced.

I’m so crabby. We subscribed to hbo 2 weeks ago just to watch GOT. We saw the first episode but then the hbo channel stopped working. I’ve called AT&T at least a dozen times, and they keep promising that they’ll fix and and call me back but nothing ever gets resolved. Total FWP I know, but I wanna watch GOT, dammit!
On the bright side, it’s super nice out so we’re spending the day outside with the boys. They both have a grandparent hangover so I foresee an early bedtime.

I’m the worst. Last night was fun, but no surprise that without proper dinner before a wine event, I got wasted. I’m so hungover and sick today. Dh took both kids to the museum event he wanted us to go to. I napped and and nursing some food into my system but feel like the worst mom. He sent me a picture of them next to a dinosaur skull. I’m mad I missed that moment.

It didn’t snow here this weekend but it would be nice if spring could show up. This week is going to be the third week of clouds and rain. I would really love to put my cords away.
Also, on Friday I noticed N had a rash. It looked a lot like hives so I gave him Benadryl. Saturday looked like they were going away. This morning the rash was back again. Luckily my H took him to the local clinic because it turns out he has strep. He feels completely fine, no sore throat, no fever, nothing.
