I think we did it

Yes, Xander has had a couple of accidents but more often than not he's been doing his duty in the toilet. Praise the Lord, I think he's got it.
In celebration we're going to start on the three year old in a week and a half. Cause why not make me cry in frustration again?
This weekend, Xander and I are going to pick out special big boy underwear (Transformers, Ironman and whatever else he wants). He gets that the ones with characters don't like getting wet or dirty. He's kept his Superman ones amazingly clean.

And that is how sad my life is. I'm excited because my child is finally doing something as simple as using the toilet. Oh, what motherhood does to a person.

Beautiful Irises

That's right. I grew 'em. And they are huge!

Welcome Summer!

Crazyness is my life

So it's been a while.
That's cause I've been crazy busy. We've finished two searches in the last month at work. Now we're getting things up to date for those new people while preparing to say good bye to colleagues we've worked with for 7+ years. I'm excited and sad and terrified about the next year.

In addition, the warmer weather has made the children into crazy little no sleep EVER machines. They don't want to go to bed on time or take naps or slow down or anything. Apparently they both had too much winter as well.

And me, well, I need a vacation. Months of stress about J's health, searches at work and potty training have taken a toll. I can't take a vacation however because I'm weeks behind at work and did I mention I have two new people starting soon. Sigh. "Summer break." Snort.
