Bike Ramp

Here is our gang, including the older neighbor boy trying out the bike ramp.

Little sneaker

When Zaky's transitioned into a big bed the first day was a challenge, learning which method works; spanking versus silent return. Three days later of just silent return and he never got out of bed. Jonas being Jonas took a month of hiding in the shadows, with the only thing keeping him in bed was the door stop. Anna Lena is once again proving to arise above her predasesors. We are a month into bed training and it still takes on average an hour every night to keep her in bed. One side befefit; as I am playing secret service outside her room Bill has been doing the dishes. 

Potty training.

The girl is not ready. There is our update! First day went incredibly well. Second NOT so great.. Bad enough that I decided to quit, and get the carpet cleaner out.  She hates wearing a diaper, but to bad.

Finally

We finally got her picture hung Julie.  The picture was a gift from Aunt Julie to Anna Lena for Christmas.  It was painted by a homeless Veteran Julie worked with during her internship serving veterans for her masters. 

Multitasking

It looks as if we are just cleaning out a pumpkin,

While at the same time we are beginning our potty training.
