The Weekend, 2nd Week of School, Seperate But Equal, Potty Training And All That Jazz....

This weekend was okay I guess. Jamey is extremely busy at work which is a blessing in this day and time so he did end up having to work until 1:00 on Saturday so I loaded up the kids and headed for my mom's house. I did want to get out of the house so that our day would be different from the ordinary and it was great to visit my mom for a little while. We had a lazy morning this morning and then headed to the grocery store. When we got home the kids were restless and Jamey was tired so I loaded them up and took them to the park for a little while to give him a chance to nap. Everyone has been pretty content this evening and I am getting geared up for next week.

This coming week will be Riley's second week of school and her excitement is still going strong thank goodness!!!! She loves her teacher and all of the new friends she has made in her new class. I was really worried when I found out her little "boyfriend" wasn't going to be in her class because she talked about him all summer but she barely noticed he is in a different class and I am glad!!! I really don't want her in love at the tender age of 4!!! :-) I really like her teacher as well. She is much more organized than the one she had last year and she seems to expect more out of her students...less babying and more room for Independence and responsibility. I think Riley is ready for that and she is doing great in PreK so far!!!! My big girl!

Okay so last night was the last night that my "babies" will ever take a bath together....Separate But Equal as far as bath time goes from now on. I decided last night that it is time. Riley has been showing subtle signs of modesty lately and I think it will be good for them to have that little bit of one on one time each evening with each parent. While I am bathing one the other will have some one on one time with Jamey and then we will switch children. Combined bath time was nice while it lasted because it was faster but this way is good too. Maybe it is only in my mind but since starting PreK Riley seems more "growny" to me.

Since Riley went back to school Sam seems to have regressed just a bit. Weird....it couldn't possibly be because I have more time to baby him while Riley is at school!!!! No way!!!! ;-) Potty training is still dragging on and on...I think I am going to go online for some potty training for boys tips....I am obviously bad at it!!!! Riley was a breeze...like one weekend kind of breeze...this STINKS!!!!!!! I am not a patient person and obviously potty training boys requires patience...grrrrrrrr!!!!!

I better scoot!!!!!!!

Later Gaters!
