How is it that 3 kids can be so completely different and be made out of similar genes? We have Hayley the boss and the eager to please, Abby the sensitive and emotional, Kylie the lover AND fighter. Hmmm.....I have come to the conclusion that when the baby pops out, an instruction manual should follow. I would even endure labour twice for that! But alas that's not how it works so I guess we will bumble our way through life. We heard at covention of a mother who stated there was a lot of prayers said at her kitchen sink. I can see my sink having a similar story to tell. Especially when these 3 add hormones into the bloodstream.
Another interesting thing this month. At 1 week shy of 2 years old, Kylie decided to potty train herself. Literally with no help from me. I wanted to wait until AFTER convention. She didn't. She wakes up dry every morning and takes herself to the bathroom whenever she needs to go during the day! NO MORE DIAPERS!!! WOOHOO!!!! Okay for 2 more months anyhow. But I'm thinking this is great after 2 that were very difficult to train.
Our summer, if you can call it that, it going so very very fast. I'm not sure if that is good or bad. I'm having a hard time winding down from babysitting. There is so much to do around the house that I couldn't do in the winter with extra kids and it's not that hot, so we're just hanging out around the house. I start prenatal aquasize tonight and am really looking forward to that. I loved it when I did it before. Even if it's not that much exercise, it's still kinda nice to get out.
I have to put in 20 hours a week into my course now that I am on an extention too so that is keeping me up until the wee hours of the morning. Thank goodness for kids that just crawl into bed and read comics until I feel like getting up in the morning.
Okay this is really dull so I should go. Oh by the way we sold our trailer. I was thinking 'well....with the economy the way it is, it may take awhile to sell.' so I listed it about 2 or 3 weeks before convention hoping we'd still have it for then. The thing sold in 3 days!!!!!!! Feels so great to have that money in the bank....or paid off of the line of credit I guess you'd say. We found an amazing tent and I didn't miss the trailer at all. We were toasty warm every night in spite of some rain, and I even kicked off the covers one night!!!! Now......what else can I sell. The house??? I have a plan all drawn up for the next one ;) Well......that'll likely be years. I may not be in love with my house, but I do like our small bit of land too much to move right now.
Have a spectacular July. At the rate I am going, the next post just may be to welcome baby Campbell the 4th. Here is a little video of Kylie in love with her birthday card from gramma K.
