Ice cream but DNW to start that 😂 what's the difference between a bite of ice cream and a few pieces of candy? It's not forever. That would probably be fine once we're more serious about it but right now we're just putting him on right before bed.

I remember having meet the teacher days when I was in elementary school. It was like tgrimes described, but I think it was more open door and people just came when they could. I remember finding my desk and then meeting a couple kids that were there the same time as me. We have a "Kindergarten Sneak Peak" next week.

We bribed J with candy for potty training. We also read books and brought in toys. It can take time before they're comfortable using the toilet.
Owen pees in the toilet standing up before bath, but that's the only time he'll try it. Probably because big bro does it before he gets in the back and O has to everything J does.

It's the last night of my trip. We've had a great time. The boys did amazing for their first time flying, the time change, and the crazy busy schedule we've had. And to top it all off, I got to meet hangry for a walk and tea. DH was a little bit nervous about me going off with a "stranger" lol, but it was the perfect end to my vacation!

L won’t even sit on it! I blame myself, I was a terror to potty train. I loved my diaper too much.
Gave L mini frosted mini wheats (these things are tiny) for breakfast and he thinks he’s having snack for breakfast LOL There are blueberries in there and a half banana. Cereal minus the milk! 🤷🏽♀️ I’m calling this a win.
Tanner goes back to the vet to get his staples out... not sure what they’ll want to do with the upper part!
So do Canadians do tea like the British?

My H has a half day today so I’m reallllllly hoping we can get the kids haircuts this afternoon because they desperately need it. It’s getting super close to school starting so a lot of places are getting booked up. We may go out to dinner or lunch depending on what time he gets home.
After some glorious stretches of J sleeping until 8:30am he gave me a lovely gift of waking up at 5:45 today. I’m so tired.

And it's funny that our H's think we're strangers but I feel like I know you guys more than my own IRL friends sometimes. There's really no one else I talk to every day.

We survived 1 week! I might be shooting myself in the foot saying this but, so far D has been an easier baby than O. Everyone says your 2nd kid is more difficult than your first one but I thought there is no way that O was our “easy” baby. His newborn period was straight hell lol. We literally have to set alarms to wake D up to eat in the middle of the night or else he would just keep sleeping (he’s still half a lb under birth weight). He’s so content and will nap anywhere even w noise and lights on.

OMG H's trip to the ER is going to cost me a small fortune. Apparently omy coverage for the ER changed this year, so in addition to my $300 copay, I also have to pay my deductible before insurance covers anything. FML.

Insurance and can suck a dick. We just got our "not a bill, but a bill is coming" statement for when I took when I took O to urgent care and it's over $500.

Ugh, this is awful! Insurance can be painful. tgrimes, how can they change it and you not know? This confuses me. Being afraid to go to urgent care or a hospital due to the deductible not being met or not being able to afford the copay makes me mad. L did the cutest thing tonight. He was surprisingly excited for dinner and went into the utensil drawers and got a spoon. Realized it was a spoon, went back, put it in the right spot and grabbed a fork! I guess it’s time to child lock the utensils. He’s never opened that drawer before. I didn’t even know he knew what was in there. Lol

Cheshie6 I wasn’t at work the day they did the conference call presentation during open enrollment. I was at our Inner City Nutcracker. Other than our deductible going up a couple years ago and the monthly pricing increases each year, our coverage has always stayed the same the past 14 years I’ve been there.

C went potty on the toilet this morning! His diaper was dry so I said let's go sit on the potty and do your alphabet. We got to the letter H and suddenly he started peeing. He kept talking about "water" lol. I'm hoping this helps him understand what we're asking him to do. It's definitely not the time for full on PTing but I'm happy for this first step and he seemed excited.
