New to Blogging

I am new to blogging, but I thought this would be a good place to keep family up to date on what's happening in SD.

As of yesterday, Carole figured out how to walk in her walker. She loves being on the go. Her favorite thing to do is to walk up to Andrew' high chair and watch him eat. She loves her big brother and really enjoys it when he gives her wild walker rides.

Today Andrew had quite a melt down. We are in the midst of potty training him and as he was sitting on the potty this morning Phil gave him his vitamin that was forgotten at breakfast. We don't know exactly how it happened, but the vitamin fell in the toilet. Andrew screamed and cried that he wanted it back. Phil got him a new one and that wasn't good enough. He wanted the one that fell in with his "hot dogs." Of course we weren't giving in to this tantrum so the vitamin got flushed. After crying about it for a good 20 minutes, he finally forgot about it when Elmo came on TV.

Andrew sure is trying us lately. Last week he finally figured out how to climb out of his crib so Phil converted it to the toddler bed. Now we are having a battle about keeping him IN bed. For the most part he is a very good boy and follows directions. He really likes it when Mommy gives him jobs to do.

Today Phil is at the church office working on his sermon. I just got Carole down for her morning nap and Andrew is watching TV. I plan on taking down the living room and dining room curtains today and washing them. Now that Carole isn't such a high maintenance baby I have been able to get my house back to order. This afternoon after naps we are all dressing up and getting our family picture taken at the local credit union. We get a free 8x10 picture taken every other year.
