Uh oh!

Raquelle has a new word. This is every Christian parents nightmare and I have no clue how to fix it! We were driving up to grandma's house Friday night, and Thad pointed out the big semi truck out the window. Raquelle pointed at it and said "OOOH! Truck!" Only, the TR in truck was pronounced as an F! She continued to point out every "truck" for the rest of the drive up. We spent the rest of the drive listening to "Big Truck" "See truck" "Ty Truck" "Oh no, truck" etc...all with the tr being pronounced as an F. We have since tried convincing her that the semi's are actually big cars, but she is too smart for that. She went to church with grandma, and in the church parking lot was kind enough to point out the "big trucks".

We left the kids with my parents for the weekend and they had a little too much fun. My mom caught Raquelle playing with the phone a few hours after we left the kids with her. She told Raquelle no no and hung it up. Within a couple min, the police showed up at the front door responding to Raquelle's 911 call. When Raquelle saw the cop she held up her My Little Pony and said "See my pony!" The policeman told her "yes, I drove all the way out here to see your pony!"

At least the kids had fun. Neither of them wanted to come home with us when we picked them up. They were happy to see us, but then cried when we went to say good bye and put them in the car.

"Kezelle"

Image
Raquelle and Keziah no longer have their own names. They are now both referred to as "Kezelle". I don't know if I have heard Thad call either girl by their actual name since Kezzy is born. He is constantly calling Raquelle Kez and Keziah Kell. Then, he tried to catch himself mid word and ended up calling Raquelle Kezelle. I told him if he really wants to name a child Kezelle, he will have to wait until the next girl that we have. He blames sleep deprivation. Anyway, here are some cute pictures from today. Kezzy in her dress all ready for church. Kezzy modeling her first pair of my size newborn baby leggings! They were a little harder to make then bigger sizes because they are so small. And a nice close up of her pretty face. There is just a hint of purple left around her mouth if you look closely. Unfortunitely, the gention violet did not work and Kezzy and I both still have thrush. So, for now I have switched to pumping and bottle feeding. I am hoping that when...

Potty Training 101

I am currently potty training my 3rd child before the age of 2 and keep coming across people asking me how I do it...or commenting that my kids are amazing.  So I thought I would dedicate a post to my methods on how to potty train a toddler. I will start with my philosophy.  I do not believe in "waiting until they are ready" like you hear from the Dr's office and on all the suggestion fliers you get from diaper companies in the mail.  I believe in teaching them how to succeed.  30 years ago (and still today in other countries), it was totally normal for kids to be potty trained at 18 months to 2 years old.  Why are people waiting until 3 or 4 now?  I believe it is because they are waiting for the kid to be ready.  By waiting, you are then dealing with an opinionated preschool rather then an eager to please toddler which I believe CAN make the process more difficult.  There are plenty of success stories of kids being trained in a few days at olde...
