Keep Knocking!!

Keep Knocking!!


Tylers potty training is going awesome!!!  I dont think I should even call it "training" at this point.  The little dudes got it down.  The only issue we currently have is that if the potty seat is not in place on the toilet, hell most likely have an accident because he cant get the seat there fast enough.  Then sometimes, instead of telling us he had an accident, we find out after he shows up in the living room with no pants on carrying a clean pair in his hands.  And hes often trudged through the pee on the bathroom floor, dragging his pee filled clothes to his hamper.  So thats fun to clean up.  But I dont care.  Ill take it.

Last week, Joel took the kids to the playground.  Lily is striking a "Whitney pose" and Tyler is sneaking snacks out of the diaper bag.


Lily was taking flying leaps off the window ledge.  Shes typically a pretty big fraidy cat but apparently became a little fearless on this visit.


It is so stinking cute when Tyler upends his train to fix it.  No clue where he came up with that (even though Joel is a fixer, I dont think Tylers ever seen him do something like this).  


Joel found out that East High School was putting on Cinderella so I took Lily on Sunday afternoon to see it.  She was super excited to get to go.  First, excited to wear her new fancy Easter dress which we had just purchased the day before.  Then super excited to see a princess.

She really enjoyed the musical and her behavior was pretty good considering she was confined to an auditorium theater seat for almost 2.5 hours.  She asked a lot of questions about how the stage scenery changed and how the curtain opened and closed.  She kept asking when she was going to see Cinderella in the pretty dress.  About 1/3 of the way through, she started asking every time there was a scene change if it was over yet.  I told her no, there was still a lot left and asked her if she wanted to leave.  She vehemently said no.  By the end, she was dancing in the aisle.  






Meanwhile, back at the ranch, Tyler was hanging out with Daddy, apparently doing boy things.


Joel found an app on the phone that turned a picture of the kids into a talking Disney character.  The kids have gotten an insane amount of entertainment out of it (and bickering over taking turns with the phone).






Spring is almost here!!  Joel and the kids took a walk around the neighborhood.  It went a little something like this:

Finally playing nice and pulling the (empty) wagon together:


 What a good Daddy he is!
