Potty Training

I have a funny potty training story. Ethan's been seeing that the little boys his age in my care are going potty. So he's been trying it out. Mostly at nap time when he doesn't wanna lay down.

Yesterday he had me take him to the bathroom and he has me hold onto him while he's sitting on his mini potty seat, ('cause he thinks he'll fall in) He kinda just sat there looking around. I told him "Go pee, ok?" He'd say "Pee? Yeah, Pee. Ok." I said "Yep, go pee, come on." So he said "Pee? Ok, Pee..." He acted like he was trying to push one out and in a sigh of release he said "Is Broken." I couldn't keep a strait face to get him to keep trying we just started to laugh. He cracks me up.

Mr. Indepenent

I thought that was a cute shirt. "I Still Live with My Parents" He's a little ham for the camera sometimes.

My best friend Sarah did her son's room over in dinosaurs. She had me paint this on his door in the hall. Looking at it I guess I messed up in a few places, I'm defiantly not a pro, but I think it turned out pretty cute. Kinda whimsical....

Daycare Toys

Here's our yard. All our new toys for the kidos.

Happy Little Man

This is right when we got home from Wichita.....

On our trip to Wichita for the live Veggie Tales concert we went to the mall and stopped by Build a Bear where Ethan got a guitar playin' monkey... He hasn't named it yet... he just calles it "my monkey." He loves it.

.....he thinks his Larry Boy hat is pretty cool too. :-)

Goofy Cutie Pie

While we were moving into this house Ethan was playing at the bathtub and saw one of Liam's pacifier... and stuck it in his mouth to be silly.

Thank you God for giving us our sweet Ethan. I can't imagine feeling more blessed than this, I think my heart would burst.

Daycare

Tomorrow will be my third week doing daycare. I really like it. I've got such great kids, and parents. Ethan is learning so much (good and bad) but that's just kidos for ya. I'm watching 7 besides Ethan... and 2 are potty training so that's got Ethan interested. It's pretty comical. It's nap time right now, which is important for both me and the kids. The parents too actually so I'm not sending home a bunch of grumpy pants. ;-)
I took a pic on my phone to share what my living room looks like at nap time but I need to have Doug show me how to get pics off my phone onto the computer. I usually have 3 girls, Anissa, Naomi, and Cadaince... and two boys Hayden, and Branden, in the morning. Ethan loves waking up to a bunch of kids in his house. He's so cheerful. Right before lunch my two pre-school girls Kayley and Kylie come and spend the rest of the day with us. I'm sharing their names 'cause I'll probably be telling some funny stories if I keep up my blog faithfully.... that is if anyone really reads it... you can follow along. lol
I'm taking my safety and cpr classes next week, and have another class Saturday in Elkart. But I am fixing to have my temp. license hopefully this month lol.... and that will qualify me to sign my children up for the food program. YAY!! lol... food is sooo expensive! I am happy to say since I've started daycare I have lost 10 pounds! No one can really tell I guess... but I can.... and I'm glad for it. :-)
Well, I'm gonna call my Grandma....


(Ok... last night Doug helped me figure out my usb port and I've got my picture to share with you now)
