Sooooo....potty training didn't turn out as well as we had hoped. Day 1 was ok, Day 2 ok but by the end of Day 3 the poor kid had a tummy ache. I think he was holding it in b/c, quite frankly - learning to go "doo doo" is kinda of a scary process for the first few times. And after a big accident down the pants and on the floor I think he freaked himself out. So we had to remedy the solution with a little extra fiber. The poor kid went the other way and we spent days and diapers keeping track of that mess. Ugghhh!!!! Potty training was obviously abandoned for a while so that Nathan's little body can get back to normal. But I'm hoping that by the end of October that we will have a potty trained little man.
In the midst of all this "fun" JoJo came down from NY for a few days. It was really nice to have the extra hands to help out as I was definitely on my last nerves last week. We made the best of it and spent Thursday at the Museum of Life and Science. Jo had never been. The rain held off and we enjoyed the train ride there, the butterfly house, lunch, the outside barn and a little bit of time inside too. Even though Nathan was suffering from horrible diaper rash, he was quite the trooper and wanted to keep going. By Friday he was doing much better and we went to a home show to check out the latest in . . . ya know - home stuff. Nathan was kept quiet with lollipops and misc giveaways. I don't know what we will do with a bobble head doll of the Empire Carpet Guy, but now we have one.
I also was not able to share my weekend away two weeks ago, since life was so busy from the moment I returned. I flew up to NY for Jen's Bridal Shower and Bachelorette Night Out. Every leg of my flight was delayed due to "work on the runway" in Baltimore and at one point I thought I would be getting there at 6p instead of 11a! But it worked out and I was able to make the shower just in time for lunch and presents! The rest of the day was nice. I sat back and let everything happen. No worries about kids, driving, doing anything the next day. Just enjoying the company (Danielle, Jen and her friends)
We went out in NYC Sat night. While driving in from Brooklyn we saw the twin tower lights lit up in honor of 10 years. We drove right under them (they were set up on an overpass) and we saw they were made up of several small lights close together. It was cool and clear and they shot straight up for miles. A pretty cool site to see.
I managed to stay up late. We left the city around 2a and I hit the pillow by 3:30a. Last time I did that was due to a sick child I'm sure. We slept in a little but the naps later on the couch were the real treat. We had a nice diner breakfast, a super quick visit in Rockland to get Lily and see the Keplers and then just hanging out. I was very glad to see that little girl. We even cuddled a bit on the couch. Just the few minutes was enough - I know little people have a lot to do and see! I'm glad the wait is short to see them again. Just a few weeks until Tim & Jen's wedding!
