Potty Training


Well we have started the task of potty training our little Thomas. He is such a good boy and would really like it if we would just put his nappy back on. We only started 2 days ago and as long as we don't put any pants on he is happy to pee in the potty. It is the number 2's that have us in a bit of a quandary. He won't wear undies so it just comes out. Gross huh? Well just imagine having to walk around the house looking for where he has gone. We will still put the nappy on if we are going in the car for a while.


Yesterday we went to visit Davids cousin who had a beautiful baby boy two weeks ago. He slept the whole time we were there. Babies are so good like that. When no one is around and you have a million things to do they seem to be up and screaming the whole time. When you have company and they all want a cuddle they sleep beautifully. Crazy.


Only two weeks until David comes home. He is so looking forward to it. We are all looking forward to seeing him too. Thomas is excited because he is getting his best friend back for his birthday. He gets all excited when we talk about his birthday. He can't wait. Three already. Where has the time gone.


Well I think that is all for now. Keep smiling and Happy Thanksgiving.


Love,

Helene


PS Any tips for potty training are welcomed.

Well here we are another week gone by. The time seems to be moving quickly which for me is a great thing. 6 weeks and David will be coming home and then another 4 after that and we will be moving home again. We won't have a whole lot of furniture but we will be home.

So the boys are getting on with school. They like the new school and have even made a few friends. Only one more school hopefully before going off to High School. Don't you wish High School could be like the new movie and everyone was walking around singing and dancing? ow much more fun it could be.

Thomas is changing every day and all things are for the better. I don't think he is sleeping real well at night because by 11 am he is or wants to be back in bed. We don't go out very much and I really think he is getting bored with being around just us. Next year he will be back in school 2 days a week and that will be good for him and very good for me.

David is very happy to be coming back home and the best bit is they are paying for the move and giving him a car too. Now I will need to get a car so I can get out of the house.

I am looking forward to the few outings that have been planned over the next few weeks and before we know it it will be Thomas's 3rd birthday and then Christmas. My how the time flys by.

So happy to be home.

Love to you all.

Ok so it has been forever since I have written but I thought it was time. Well here are back in Sydney and would be loving it but... Ok so I am really happy to be back in the land of OZ. I get to have conversations with my friends and have even gotten a social life if you can call it that. I am not aloud out of the house unless my mother-in-law goes with me, I can't spend any money because they want to know where the money is coming from and ask a million questions. I miss my privacy my space and my house. Is it January yet????



Well I have been home for 2 weeks and I have been by myself twice. I think I may have a melt down before to long. I just keep smiling and think of the diet I will have to put Harrison on when we leave because he should be 20kgs heavier once we leave. She is not happy unless she is fussing over them and feeding them up. I never fuss. Maybe that could be a bad point but at 10 and 8 should I still be dressing them and doing everything for them? I ask you this how do you ask your mother in law how to stop mothering??



So when is the Mamma Mia sig along now the DVD is out? I will be getting it on Monday. I will wrap and present it to myself. The children can give it to me. They sometimes still love me.

Well I think that is all so happy days.

Love,
Helene
