For those of you on the edge of your seats about the potty training (what do you mean you have more interesting things to think about?)....
Dylan did a really great job. It's been 4 days and he tells us when he has to go, wakes up dry after nap but doesn't make it through the night yet. He's pretty proud of himself too! I'll give him another week or so before I start on triplet number 2.
It's exciting to see all the new things the kids learn and how big they are getting. It's also nice to see all the things they have stopped doing. We have seen big changes over the past couple of months. They don't sleep in cribs anymore. They don't wake up constantly through the night every night anymore. They've stopped crawling on the table all the time. Finally. I love that they don't touch every single thing that is within reach as much. I even have a bit of a centerpiece on my table. Amazing! And last saturday morning they didn't need to be in their stroller when we went to the museum. Wow. They did a really good job of listening and staying close to us. It wasn't very busy in there either though and that is why we were able to try it. A crowded situation would be a different story. I love the 2 and 3 and 4 year old stage. We are having a lot of fun and I am really looking forward to the weather warming up (I know - that's looking pretty far into the future) so we can start DOING SOMETHING besides spending all day every day in the house. Soon, they will be big enough that I can take them places on my own. What freedom that will be!
And some good news for us; we are really close to the school that I want the kids to go to. Caden starts kindergarten next year and I was really concerned about how I was going to get him there and back every day for a year. Was I going to lug my three 2 year olds? All through the winter? Really? Ugh. So I called about it. I had a little speech prepared all about my 'special circumstances' and why I should be able to have my son bussed to school even though we are pretty close. First though she types in our address and the school and wouldn't you know it. We are just far enough that they will bus him. Hallelujah! I am so relieved! He's close enough though that he will have to walk when he is in grade 2 but that'll be fine by then. The little boys will be in kindergarten by then. It may not seem like much to some of you but it's a pretty big deal for us. I love it when things work out!
