Saturday T-Ball

This Saturday we got to play T-Ball outside! Yea! We have been playing all Spring in the gym, but not this weekend....we got to play outside in the dirt! The kids loved it! They were all filthy before they started playing, but it didn't matter, they were all having fun! Summer must be right around the corner, I can feel it!

Here are some pictures of our teams all-stars!

At the park

We took full advantage of this beautiful day by spending the entire afternoon at the park. We had a picnic, made new friends, swang on the swings, slid on the slides and took a few pics...here they are....

The long road to potty training

Today, Abby declared she needed to use the potty, but she refused to let me into the bathroom to help. I stood outside the bathroom door for about a minute listening intently and waiting for her to ask for help. Suddenly the door opened and Abby says, "Jackson, help please!" Jackson goes into the potty and helps Abby....There is a lot of flushing and giggling going on, and as I wait patiently outside the bathroom door, I imagine the mess that they are making in there.

Then, the door opens again. "Come in Mommy" Abby says as she takes me by the hand. As I look inside the bathroom, it is clear that there has been no potty going, but plenty of toilet paper wasting. I think there was about half a roll unrolled and all over the bathroom. Boy these kids move fast. They were in there for less than two minutes! Abby then decides that Jackson can no longer help her, and she wants my help. So Jackson is sent outside, she closes the door and I am left to clean up the toilet paper mess and help Abby get onto the potty. She sits on the toilet for all of 30 seconds before declaring herself done. I cleaned up the toilet paper and negotiated putting a diaper on Abby, and we joined Jackson outside.

I think it is going to be a long road to potty training Abby!

Look Mom & Dad!
