We have been dry for 48 hours now!!!
I did set my alarm clock for midnight. It went off, I got up, took A to the ptty. She sat but after a few seconds said she didn't want to go. I told her she needed to so she wouldn't wet in the bed. But it was a no go. She got up and crawled back into bed. I just knew that she would wet. Fast forward to 5:45am and L was at the door crying so I just knew also that I would have puddle on the floor because she didn't make it out. But I opened the door and A was right behind her, they walked out and went to potty. A & L both were dry!!!!
H got a note sent home yesterday, but it was GREAT! He will be receiving two awards on the 29th! One for his A Honor Roll and then a second for his Accelerated Reading. To say we are so proud is an understatement. I will be going to that!!!!!
I am taking tomorrow off from work & so is J. Just a day together because of our 12th anniversary this weekend. I hope we can relax just a little.
Hope all is well in your house...

24 hours...
We have been dry in our house for 24 hours!!! I cannot believe it...first time in weeks that we have not had to change at least one bed. Here's the story: L woke up crying at around 11:45pm. I go into the room and find her standing in front of her bed with her blanket and was shaking. I asked her if she fell out of the bed and she said yes. I held her tight and picked her up and decided to go ahead and take her ptty. She went, and I took her right back to bed and told her I would be right back. I felt A and she was still dry so I picked her up and took her ptty. She went and I took her right back to bed. I laid on the floor and after a few minutes I crawled out of the room and went back to bed myself. Fast forward to 5:45am and both girls get up, go ptty and we have dry beds!!! I guess I will start getting up now and maybe after a week or so they will realized they can go on their own to the ptty???

The end...
of school for H is next Thursday. I cannot believe that he will be in second grade next year. I am definitely not old enough to have a second grader. Am I? Lots of new exciting adventures ahead I'm sure. He told me this past weekend that his girlfriend broke up with him. I asked him why and he just shrugged his shoulders and said he didn't know but that was what she did. :) Love this little boy...
This girls are having their end of the school year party on Friday. Bananas for L's room and yogurt for A's. I really hope they move L up soon because this momma is not sure she likes it. I feel like L is missing out on maturing and learning new things. Its not that they are in different classrooms, its that they are in different grade levels. They usually do end up together by the end of the day, usually on the playground.
I am proud to say that I have no fear in taking the girls anyplace. They are potty trained for sure during the day. No more diaper bag!!! I still keep a change of clothes in the van but I feel so free to be able to not have to carry anything. I actually got to carry my Bible on Sunday! Sad I know but when holding toddlers and bags it was just easier to look at J's. Ptty stops are just a part of the trip now. We go to Walmrt and they will have to go, so we go. The only thing that is frustrating, is taking both of them at the same time. I try if I can to take one at a time but not always the case. But they do good for the most part. They can pull up/down for clothes and they can get on the ptty by themselves to. Of course in a public setting I get them on and off for less touching. But I can honestly say I am proud!!! A is still having a night issue, but did have one dry night on Monday morning. But of course in twin style, L wet. She hasn't figured out she can get up and just go to the ptty. I am at some point going to start setting my alarm clock for midnight or so to get A up to go ptty. I am not sure that is going to help or not, but we wont know until we try. Another theory we were wondering about was if L is waking up earlier because she has to go. But she got up around 3am the other day and so I got her out of bed and took her ptty and put her back in bed. She was still up before 6am. Goodness!!
They are loving their B@rbies in the bathtub too! L is very good at sharing, A not so much.
June 11-15 is VBS, so H will be at the grandparents that week. I wonder how many days they will take him over to the sister n laws house. It seems to be the only place they are ever at. I think that if I find out that they are taking him over there a lot that I will rethink this next year. The whole point is to have him get the full attention for that week. Speaking of snl, her girls started a new daycare on Monday. Not ours of course but another one that is in between grandparents and her. Convenient.
J caught his dad in a lie. Maybe not a lie but still a story. I didn't hear this till after. But J said he came up to him and H and made the comment that he wished he had know about the kids thing in the big city and he would have come up and gotten H. Thinking nothing of it. When we were at lunch with J&C they mentioned that they went and that they saw the grandparents w/ snl & bnl w/ kids. Later when J brought it up, he said that he didn't understand why his dad said anything to begin with why make things up. I also wondered why they didn't even call, even last minute, to invite us out. I guess we just are not flexible enough??? Or maybe its just me. I am doing my best not to even worry about her and I am doing pretty well, but...The big 2 year bday party is coming. No invite yet by mail but yes by mouth to J. She even had the nerve to ask him if he would help drive some train thing that they were going to do at the party. Ugghhh... I told him if he does then he can take all three kids by himself. I am not being left alone there. I wonder how many times it is going to take for him to realize things are not going to change. He secretly wishes that they would have to move...not going to happen.
Sorry this entry was a big run on...

So fast but so slow...
That is how I feel life is going. I feel very safe to say that L is completely potty trained. She has stayed dry during the day for a full week and at night for 5 days now. A on the other hand is fully "day" potty trained and hasn't had an accident in over a week as well, but night time she still has a problem with. She goes sometime in the middle of the night but when she wakes in the morning she goes a full p. So...
But my girls are surely becoming big girls. They love their jelly beans for sure, but L will make sure she doesn't get orange. She will tell daddy that she wants a jelly bean but not orange. A on the other hand doesn't care what color and neither does H.
H got four punches on Monday and then one punch on Tuesday and then one strike on Wednesday. He is working for a full punch week to be able to go hit balls with J at the golf course. Anyway after we complete this week he only has two and a half more weeks of school left. Then I will be a mom to a second grader!!! And the girls will be starting K3 this fall too! Amazing!
The girls are handling being in separate class rooms very well, but some days its hard when I drop them off. L really wants to go to the big classroom with A. I'm sure its because it is more fun and different stuff then what she sees everyday. I hope soon they will have a spot open for her to move up too.
Day care has 6 cases of pink eye in the toddler room. On the entry board it says 5 confirmed cases of pink eye and stomach virus and hand,foot,mouth. WOW --- So we continue to put in eye drops for now.
There are also just few more weeks of awana at church and then they will move the service to Monday nights. I'm not sure if we will make those or not...kinda just depends but right now J has to work late on Mondays which will make it really hard.
VBS is coming at church in June and I know that H is excited. He will spend a full week with his Mimi & papa. I know they will spoil him. I hope they do something together that he will be able to treasure. Sometimes they are so busy with work and the job that they don't actually do quality time stuff with him. I know he loves the toys but...
I'm getting excited about my room. I want to make it a place that I will enjoy and feel relaxed to go to. I want to do it right and where it is affordable. The cable/elec man is coming on Saturday am. He was supposed to come Tuesday but his worker got ill so he had to take him to the hospital. No hurry anyway for this to be completed. But it is the first step. Since I will now have wall over my bed, I was thinking of getting a vinyl saying to put above the bed...The greatest measure of love is to love without measure. I just really like it.
Well, I have rambled enough for now...
