Potty Talk

So, it's been a while since I've logged in and written on here. Time is just flying by! In January my laptop went capluey so after about 3 weeks, we finally just bought a new one. I think I do like Windows Vista. I like my new laptop, too. We still hope to get my old one back up. Thankfully we had recently purchased an external hard drive so I'm only missing about 2 weeks worth of work.

Isaac turned 4 months on Friday. It's hard to believe it's been that long. It seems like I was just pregnant! Isaac is doing all the things a 4 month old should do. He went to the pediatrician for his check-up and some shots. He weighed in at 12lbs 4 oz and 24" long, all 25%ile. He holds his head up well, reaches and grabs toys, coos and babbles, and laughs so cutely! He hasn't rolled yet, but he is definitely trying! Isaac is sleeping through the night and takes about 4 naps throughout the day. Our only concern was that Isaac hadn't pooped for over a week! We had tried everything the dr suggested, and it finally dawned on me that wheat made J.K. poop almost instantly. So, I splurged with Taco Bell tonight and sure enough, Isaac pooped. But, I forgot to take into consideration what else Taco Bell would do to him; poor thing is having quite a bit of gas. :(

J.K. is now 2 1/2 years old. We have started potty training this past week. He was doing quite well until today. I don't know what got into him. He had an accident everytime. He said he didn't want to use the potty but did want to wear undies. I tried to explain that it doesn't work that way. I ended up letting him go naked the rest of the afternoon, and he did great. He even used the potty on his own while I was in the shower. Hopefully it'll go better tomorrow than it did today.

This past Friday Johnathon and I got to go on a date! It's such a rarety that we get to go out just the 2 of us so it was a nice treat. The church where J.K. goes for Mother's Day Out had Parent's Night Out. We signed both kids up for it. We went to Dave & Busters to have dinner and play games. We had a great time, and it was really good for us. The church does it once a month, I believe, (no idea why we didn't take advantage of it before!) so I think this will turn into a monthly escape for us.

I am going to post some pictures if I can figure out how to do it! I still have some work to get down and midnight is closing in on me. One day I'll get to bed early! LOL
