HALLELUJAH!!!

Surprisingly, I have not been on here a lot lately. Being snowed in for a few weeks, you'd think I would have been online a lot. But, having two wee little ones running around with cabin fever really hinders ones online time.

To say that it snowed here would be a severe understatement. This winter, we have received 51 inches of snow. And most of it has not been fun snow. It has been too deep and heavy to play in. The snow is taller than my son. The children want to go outside and play, but when they get out there, they cannot even walk around in it.

Claire has only been to school one day this month.

SHE HAS SCHOOL TOMORROW!!!

YAY! (I am doing a happy dance!)

Not that I don't enjoy being around her. It is just that all four of us cooped up together for this long amount of time...Well, we have had enough Family Time for a bit.

Plus, I don't want her to forget what she has learned. I did do school with her and Nicholas a few times. Practiced writing her name. Going over letters and the sounds they make. Oh, and craft time. Lots of coloring. Actually, Daddy helped with most of the coloring.

Anyway, she is going back to school tomorrow so we can get back on schedule.

And if I hear the word snow again, I am moving somewhere tropical. I am thinking Siberia.

No Pants

Well, today while Claire was at school, I let Nicholas run around without a diaper. For three hours.

The good news? He sat on the potty 5 times and didn't 'go' anywhere around here.

The not-so-good news? He didn't go in the potty either.

He waited til I put a diaper back on him then went. It's a start. And at least he did not go elsewhere.

So, now shall I invest in Pull-Ups for him or continue to let him run around with no pants?

The tough decisions I face these days.

Potty Time!

Well, Nicholas has been using the potty sporadically for a long time now. He goes after breakfast and right before his bath. Sometimes before his nap. He has clearly shown an interest but with me returning to work and J staying home, taking online college classes, as well as applying for jobs, poor Pooka's potty training kind of got pushed to the back burner.

So I am starting tomorrow.

After Claire goes to school and J is at the library, I will start intense training. If I can get him out of diapers within the next few months, I will be the happiest mommy ever!

Let the battle begin!
