Summer? time fun

I question the summer part because frankly, I don't think that mid 60's and rain off an on make a good summer. Granted, we are in Western Washington, and this weather is to be expected. And, okay, so summer doesn't officially start for a few more weeks. But it makes it hard to want to go out and play. Despite all that, we've been trying to make the best of it so far. Hopefully the weather will cooperate later on and we can really get into the fun of summertime.

In the meantime though, we've been going to parks, indoor pools, and hanging out in the yard. I've found that if we leave the house each morning and I let the kids run around for an hour or so, I get 2 hours of "me" time while the kids nap. That's right, Logan is napping again. I've been working him hard. ;)









Another thing we've recently started to tackle....Potty training. I've been dreading this day since Logan was born. But it's here and I feel will be around for quite some time. Logan is actually doing quite well, but I was hoping for an overnight success. (HaHa) Go ahead and laugh, I'm laughing too. He fights me with having to go to the bathroom and wants to wear diapers, but I'm insistent that those days are over. The best thing I've found that works for Logan is LOTS of praise. I'm serious, I totally go overboard with the hugs and praise and kisses, but it works. I think he likes all the attention. The only thing is, Olivia is starting to feel left out and now wants to potty train too. I guess that's a good thing, but I don't have the energy or patience to potty train two kids at once. That's a lot of bathroom trips. Hopefully by the end of summer though, I'll be done with kids in diapers for awhile. That's my dream anyway.
