We tried the three day potty training thing...It took three weeks, but at exactly three weeks Olue got it. I'm not sure if it took that long to strengthen her bladder muscles or what, but she hasn't had much for accidents since last Thursday. She even made it through an afternoon bought of diarrhea with no accidents (thank goodness!). She still wears a pullup at night which I like (I'm not doing multiple loads of laundry everyday now). I'm down to doing the normal every other day laundry again, which I like :).
Jeremiah has his two front bottom teeth now, so his Christmas wish list is fulfilled...All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth:).
Jeremiah is in the process of getting his hair cut. It was getting so long that I was having to decide which way to comb it after baths to stay out of his eyes. We've had two goes so far and we're still not finished. I had one of those sick-and-tired-of-it moments after I gave him a bath yesterday at noon, so I cut his bangs. I only took two snips (and they weren't totally strait), but he looked so much better! Josh didn't even recognize him when he got home. I had to stop there because he was hungry and wiggly. Then after supper Josh started to buzz the back of his hair when he got an ambulance call and didn't get back til right at bedtime. So he still has a mop on the top of his head, but hopefully tonight we'll get it finished.
Olue seems like such a big girl now that she's potty trained. She's doing so well communicating and being a little mommy. She loves to color and draw. She likes to draw little circles all over her paper. She's very precise (as precise as you can get at that age) when she's drawing. I think and hope she'll like to do crafty things with me when she gets bigger:).
Jeremiah is looking like a little boy now instead of a baby (especially with the partial hair cut). He's getting pretty big. I tried to put him in a pr of overalls that Johnny had gotten for Christmas at this same age, but Jeremiah has already outgrown them. I saw him get up onto the crawl stance once this week. He kinda scoots around backwards on his tummy, but I'm not sure if his directions are intentional or just frustrating for him. He never seems to be frustrated with anything though; he just plays with what's infront of him or watches the other two play. They do a good job of including him in their games every once in a while. He just discovered his feet last weekend (when he was wearing a sleeper with big puppy dog ears on the feet). He now loves to take his socks off and play with his toes.
What about Johnny..."What about Me?"...He says that a lot. Johnny is Johnny. I know he's growing and maturing, but now it's slowing down compared to the other two that I don't notice as much. He always asks "What are we going to do today?" or "I want to stay here today" or "I want to go to Grandma and Grandpa's (or Addy's or Cy's)". He talks very well in full sentences, sometime he missuses words, but I can understand what he's saying and try to correct him. Lately he's been saying I'm really "drinky" or "eaty" instead of thirsty or hungary. One time I didn't want to read to him (I used to read to the kids while I nursed Jeremiah, but now he wants to look at the book too, so I have to focus on feeding him separately ) and Johnny said "But I'm really read-ee" It was pretty cute, so now he's been doing it with the drinky and eaty.
Johnny and Olue really like to go outside. We LOVE having snow to play in and the weather has been really nice for playing in the snow. John loves to run and chase and play tag outside. He's everything a romping boy is. Olue likes to play in the snow too, but not so ruff.
Okay...I need to get outside and feed the animals before "7". (That's when the kids can get out of bed...I think they might sleep in a little today though.)
