Potty Training

Soren was thrust into an intense weekend of potty training beginning on Saturday morning. While he made great progress, with encouragement from 1 jelly bean at a time, his big brother had to find ways to entertain himself during the long minutes of waiting... Thank goodness for the 2000 pairs of adorable undies from Grayson!

Saturday reading

Grandma Lo is back!

So glad to have her visiting!

Finally, winter!!

Pop Tart Village

Pop Tart Village - shown below - earned its name on a morning when Carl took both boys out for a little bit while I slept in. Apparently, he enticed them to go exploring by first letting them pick out whatever snack they wanted from the island shop. Alden wrote this all himself with the exception of 'island' and 'found' - pretty impressive for our kindergartner!

Goodbye Captiva!

Coconut!

Only 90 minutes of serious work by dad to get one open... and then a plate of fresh white meat and a cupful of sweet milk!
