May the Fourth Be with You

Sorry about that title. Are you over it? Good.

We kept Nina out of daycare this week, her temperature hit the magic number and we had to pick her up… She seems to be doing much better now, although she’s still up crying enough to cause Mommy some sleepless nights.

Those of you keeping score on Ian’s potty progress will be pleased to note that the accidents he had on Monday and Tuesday of last week were the only two… we’ve been getting those daily sheets from daycare and the potty section has just said “He did GREAT!” three days in a row.

I’ve got a good bike follow-up video to show you someday… in it I just say “we’re pedaling, we’re pedaling… STOP!” and Ian hits the brakes on his bike. As a parent I can say that perhaps this is one of the most important things I’ve taught him so far.

And now more pics from way back on the 4th of May…

Nina dreams about signaling to a truck driver that he should blow his horn. See this image larger.

Yup, that’s Ian. See this image larger.

New favorite pic of Nina, right here. I see some Audrey Hepburn in that one. See this image larger.

Deer + headlights. See this image larger.

Did this kid just successfully use the potty again? Probably not the day this was taken… but not long afterwards. See this image larger.
