"POTTY TRAINING"

Well we have been working hard at getting Riley potty trained before the arrival of her little brother, Brenden. Things went VERY well yesterday at school. She came home in the same clothes that she went to school. But today was a different story, an hour after I dropped her off I received a phone call asking to bring Riley another pair of shoes because she had had wet herself. OK so I guess on accident is not bad but then while we were home she had another accident. I guess she will go when she wants to and then she can be lazy. I am still very proud at her progress. I am just thankful for the fact that I wont have to buy diapers/pull-ups for two children at the same time.

Well I tried to bring up the pictures of the house both inside and out but I unable to at this time. I will keep trying until something works. For now enjoy your weekend.

31 WEEKS TODAY!!

Well I made it to 31 weeks. I will go to my 32 week check up in one week (nest Tuesday). I am going to find out my results from my sugar test. Yep I had to go and take that 3 hour sugar test because the one I took at 28 weeks came back high. I will also have to make that very important decision about having a repeat c-section or a "naormal" delievery. I am not sure what I want to do at this point. I am sure my body will let me know when the time comes and I have to decide. Since I have been home I have been able to work on Brenden's room and get things in order for his arrival. We have a few more things to do and his room will be ready to go. His room has a sports theme. Not only have we been working on the house but we have also been working with Riley on potty training. She is doing great. She lets you know when she has to go and she have been doing both jobs in the toilet too. We are almost ready to use panties all day and night now. Even when she is at school she goes to the bathroom on her own. I am very proud of her. She just decided that she was not going to go potty in her pants anymore and Grandma Ringman helped her get started when we where home visiting. Now using a public bathroom is a challenge for Riley right now. She does not like to go to the bathroom unless its at a house or at school. This may take a few months. I know how she feels because I was the same way for many years. I am sure it will get easier the older she gets.

Well enjoy "hump day" Wednesday and hopefully I can get a few more pictures posted here soon.

HERE ARE A FEW NEW PICTURES!!!!!!

Nana and Riley being silly and smiling BIG

for the camera.

Here is Riley and Jackson (cousin) playing

Ring-around-the-rosie.

Riley had a great time playing with Jackson. They had lots of energy. Watching the two of them play made me smile and laugh. I now know how Riley will be with a little brother of her own to play with and mommy. She loved holding Jackson's hand and pulling him in the wagon while we walked around the zoo. Riley shared her soda with him and made sure that he was doing the right thing. It was lots of fun and brought smiles to everyone's face.
