Why do I want to wear these?
About two weeks ago, I decided it was time for Hannah to be potty trained. She seems aware of when things are happening and has this obsession with all things princess. So this should be pretty straighforward right, she’ll want to wear the big girl princess underwear. I took her to Target and let her pick out several packages of underwear. We came home and the first day went pretty well.
Over the last two weeks things have gone downhill fast. I had to switch to pull-ups because our house is completely carpeted and I don’t want it to smell like a barn. But with Sabrina underfoot, and the kids school, homework, and even just my everyday responsibilities, I kept forgetting to put her on the potty, and the pull-up was just the same as a diaper to her. If I remember to make her sit on the potty every half hour or so, she is bound to have some successes, but that is just not possible for me to keep up. I even bought M&M’s and told Hunter and Emma to announce when they were going potty, and have Hannah see them go in and come out, and then come to me to get their M&M reward. They loved the idea, but with Hannah, no go. She still doesn’t really care. So, I think I’ll give it up and try again when she’s more interested. What do you think? Does anyone have the magic technique?

Ok, this is a video that is part of a Dove campaign for “Real Beauty.” The next time you wake up, look in the mirror and feel depressed by your reflection, think about this: The models in the magazines and stars on TV wake up looking like that too.

No, that’s not me calling people names, it’s another Weird Al song. He didn’t make his own video, but there are plenty of people that have made their own and posted them on YouTube. This is the best one we saw. Because of the Canadian heritage in the family, Rob and I got some good laughs out of it.

So Rob has been spending some time on YouTube and found this Weird Al video. He is definitely an odd guy, Al that is, but I just can’t help laughing at the clever lyrics he comes up with in some of his songs. I’ve noticed that there are an awful lot of references to nerds and geeks on some of the other family blogs, so I think you’ll appreciate this too.
Read MoreSabrina’s First “Word”
So Sabrina now has a favorite word. It’s one that goes beyond the mamama, dadadada, kind of thing. In fact, she doesn’t really use mama and dada to identify us unless she’s really upset, just to make sounds. So I think it’s fair to say that this is her first word. She first started to say it a few days ago, and is pretty consistent now. Every time we say a prayer and come to the end, she belts out a big, “AA-MUH.” And of course we all know that means “Amen!” So if first words have any bearing on future personality we have a real angel in our family!
