Fun in the Sprinkler

This was one of the first things Noah did this morning. Put on my PJ pants after I had gotten dressed. I was so glad I still had my camera out on my desk so I didn't miss it. He's such a ham. The sun was so hot today. I like to go outside every day for at least a few hours, but it was torture! The deck was on fire, practically. I did the only thing I could think of to cool it off and turned the sprinkler on it. Did the trick quite nicely.

Noah watered my shoes
and the plants
and himself
and tried to water me!

It's potty time again. Noah is showing a lot more independence with taking his clothes on and off and would rather wear a pull-up than a diaper. I think it's time to try again. I completely forgot I had bought a potty chair waaaaaay back when Noah was like 16 months old or something, silly me. It was just sitting up on the shelf. I had been using the kid seat for him on the big potty, but I decided whatever I can do at this point would be great. He loves the potty seat, but has yet to go potty in it. He understands he has to be diaper-less to sit on it now at least. He wants to carry the potty seat around with him... to sit on it and watch TV and eat... naked. He's really turning into a little man hahaha. I told him it has to stay in the bathroom. He totes his booster seat with him everywhere, but with his booster seat he wears clothes. I bought a "Bear in the Big Blue House" DVD about going on the potty, practice, independence, and pride in accomplishment. It's a glorious brainwashing melange of puppets and songs. He watched the entire thing and got excited about his potty chair so we'll see what happens.

I also bought some new linen drawstring maternity pants and I LOVE them. Josh has always wanted pants like this and will be so uber jealous. Eat your heart out, babe! ;) I know this may look goofy to a lot of people, but I love wearing little shirts around the house so my big belly can hang out. It makes it look so much bigger and therefore cuter (to me). I am enjoying this pregnancy so much :)

You look so cute. And believe me the shirts you wear are longer then i wear. I dont wear maternity shirts around the house. Just Pre- pregnancy shirts. needless to say they are very short now! How are you feeling, and how far are you?

Thanks, Jen! I am 6 months now and I feel just fine. I have some hip and lower back pain when I walk too much or sleep without my nest of 3 pillows. Other than that I've been feeling like myself... oh except I cry easier :)

Almost Doesn't Count

We almost ended up with a puppy today. An adorable baby Jack Russell Terrier mix wandered into our yard. He was very sweet, laid back, flea-ridden, dirty, cute, a little broken, good temperament, un-fixed, and very very good with Noah and Emma. I asked the neighbors about him and they showed me where the owner lived. She took him inside and told me how he's driving her crazy because he chews through collars and gets out of the yard (which is because he's a puppy and not an outside breed). She mentioned possibly getting rid of him. Lo and behold he wandered back into our yard not too long after that... interesting. I wanted to adopt him because he was unwanted, but shouldn't have been. He was a very sweet dog. I would have called him Jackie I think :) This brings me to a rant. I know I've posted about the way people around here treat their pets. This is a perfect example. This lady didn't want the puppy anymore so she simply let it go. No collar, no tags

Still Happy!! HOORAY!!

We're still going strong with our happiness levels out here. Yesterday was a little bit rough because Tristan was especially whiney, but today was amazing :) We got our grocery shopping done and even managed to have fun doing that! Noah and I were singing Christmas songs already while Tris and Bren laughed at us. Tristan sometimes piped in with a "all the way" when we were singing Jingle Bells. Noah was cracking up when I sang him the Batman version :D After all that excitement the 2 wee ones went down for their naps and Noah and I gave Bosley a bath with his new tea extract shampoo. He looks and smells so wonderful now :) He was in such a good mood after that too! Noah made a concoction of plum leaves, olives, dirt, and paper which he called "olive a cado". While he was doing his own grocery shopping I was taking some macro shots with my new focus point knowledge. I'm very happy. I thought I loved my camera before! Anyway... We also built a littl

Victim Triangle

Thought I would share this on here since I've shared it with at least 3 people individually at this point.  I've been working on  establishing and maintaining healthy personal boundaries  so any instance in my life where I have unhealthy boundaries have been really obvious.  Still not great at dealing with those instances, but I'm getting better all the time.  While I'm working, this keeps popping up at different times to illustrate my inter/intra-personal communication cycles that need to be broken. https://www.karpmandramatriangle.com/ The hardest part for me has been recovering from taking responsibility for everyone's emotional state.  I would feel immense pressure to involve myself in other peoples' triangles, thinking I had to play the mediator role.  I would get intense feelings of anxiety, thinking about their expectations of me to fix their relationship... or feel it was my duty to point out if I saw an issue (without ever being asked or expected
