I am mostly surviving it though. I have come to the realization that shopping with either one of them these days (especially Christian) is next to impossible. And since I have no other options but to bring them feel free to give me ideas how to keep Christian safe and behaving in the stores.Heatherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13507008620809637883noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4955796052883319191.post-58904777527942531172010-07-19T07:06:00.002-06:002010-07-19T07:08:32.539-06:00lets hope this is not jinxing myselfit has been a full week since christian has not peeded or pooped in his underwear...he goes on the potty all the time now...both at home and at daycare! now if i could get both the kids not to pee at night in pullups. something to work on after vacation.Heatherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13507008620809637883noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4955796052883319191.post-5341914718109734942010-06-09T06:54:00.002-06:002010-06-09T06:55:59.998-06:006 years alreadySo 6 years ago at this moment i thought i had a stomach bug....come to find out i was in labor and at 9:12 pm <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">catherine</span> graced us with her presence! all i have got to say is this attitude better not stick around!Heatherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13507008620809637883noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4955796052883319191.post-89831173327910895312010-05-01T06:25:00.002-06:002010-05-01T06:28:59.878-06:00PEE EVERYWHERE!Ok so 2 difficulties still haunting the Carrier children and the mom...<br /><br />Christian is no longer doing great with the potty training<br />and<br />Catherine is still having no success of not wetting at night.<br /><br />I want it all to come to an end and to buy no more pull ups.<br /><br />Any thoughts or suggestions?Heatherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13507008620809637883noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4955796052883319191.post-32025262813675961172010-03-19T18:12:00.002-06:002010-03-19T18:15:08.496-06:00She is growing up...so today 2 big things happened for Catherine:<br />she had her first visit to a friend's house without me (and it was a boy). it went very well. she even learned how to drive a motorized john deer vehicle...so i know what she will be asking for her birthday...maybe we can find a used one seeing they are very expensive.<br />and<br />she is currently at her first father/daughter dance with her daddy.Heatherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13507008620809637883noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4955796052883319191.post-10208094786376468602010-02-19T07:44:00.001-07:002010-02-19T07:45:47.754-07:00Out of the mouths of my childrenFirst Catherine informed me that I needed to get my head examined b/c she was afraid I had no patience in it b/c I seem to yell at her and Christian too much <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">LOL</span><br />then<br />Christian informed me not too long ago that my toes are bigger than his toes! <br />They crack me up!Heatherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13507008620809637883noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4955796052883319191.post-35053766752340872942010-02-16T15:47:00.001-07:002010-02-16T15:48:25.328-07:00He is in a toddler bed and there is a gate at the door...so far so good...but he is also sick and sleeping a lot so once he feels better we shall see!Heatherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13507008620809637883noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4955796052883319191.post-39119469074071901292010-01-29T15:16:00.002-07:002010-01-29T15:18:15.033-07:00Still no napping on the home frontI cannot get him to stay in his crib to nap.

I had to buy this when he was 9 months old and learned to climb out of his crib. Not too long ago he learned how to unzip his crib tent and climb out but hooking the zipper around the edge bought me some time. However on Saturday as I mentioned he broke it. So I had to take it off. Now I know him climbing out shows some readiness for a bed however logistically we are not quite there. So moms <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">grand moms</span> aunts whomever you are that might have some tricks how do I get my boy to stay in his crib to nap and go to sleep at night???Heatherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13507008620809637883noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4955796052883319191.post-24189800415017189072010-01-04T08:17:00.003-07:002010-01-04T08:31:40.269-07:00Wow it has been a long timeHere we go:<br /><br />Christian is much better with daycare...now I have been off a week with him during Christmas break so that may hinder him a bit this week...however he has been doing fine with drop offs and really enjoying himself. Funny thing is that Catherine is now not liking daycare. <br /><br />The kids really enjoyed Christmas this year. I think the only part of the holiday season that Christian did not like was sitting on Santa's lap. The picture is really kind of funny. He is looking at me like "what have I done to deserve this?". We did not attempt church this year. We have not been in quite some time due to my working and Catherine in hockey so I figured Christmas was not the time to attempt when there is no staff to watch the little ones (such as our loud and very active 2 year old). <br /><br />Catherine is loving hockey! She is doing pretty well too. The only thing that Jason really wants to see her improve on is using both feet. She only really skates with her right foot. However this past practice she used a thing that looks like a walker and that helped her to use both feet. Jason said that with using that a little each practice that it will help her feel comfortable to use both feet all the time. <br /><br />We attempted to have Catherine not wear pull ups at bed time recently. However all that led to was her and I waking up every 2 hours and not getting much sleep. She did stay dry at times when I did manage to wake both of us up every 2 hours but if there was a night that I went longer than that she woke up to wet sheets in the morning that just let to several days of laundry for me. So we went to the doctor and he wants us to try and train her bladder by measuring her urine each time she goes at home. The goal will be to have her increase what she can hold. If there is no improvement by her 6<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">th</span> birthday she will go on medication. I was the same as a child so this does not surprise me just makes me sad for her. <br /><br />I was supposed to potty train Christian and take away his pacifier this past week while I was off of work. Neither happened. Not due to lack of him succeeding it was because I did not try. Not sure why. <br /><br />Well I think that is it for now...hopefully it will not be 2 months until my next post.Heatherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13507008620809637883noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4955796052883319191.post-78526372348614635852009-10-26T08:54:00.002-06:002009-10-26T08:58:05.059-06:00So I have switched over to 1st and 2<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">nd</span> shift. Last week was my first week. The kids go to my <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">inlaws</span> 3 days and to daycare 2 days. Catherine loves it. Christian...the verdict is still coming in on that one <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">LOL</span>. Tuesday he got dropped off by Jason, cried a little, slept only in the daycare teachers arms and was fine the rest of the day they said. Thursday I dropped him off and he had a major meltdown, tried escaping and finally after all that only slept for about 20 minutes at <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">naptime</span> but then had a fine rest of the day according to them.Heatherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13507008620809637883noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4955796052883319191.post-81615189520068522612009-10-05T11:01:00.002-06:002009-10-05T11:03:52.912-06:00My Baby Boy is 2And the favorite present was the Home Depot Tool Box!

In the past she has worn costumes that will be passed down to her brother (unisex ones). This year she chose Thumblelina...she is addicted to Barbie stuff and this was one of Barbie's most recent movie. Christian chose Thomas the Train...however after seeing the total of the two I may return his and see if Catherine's monkey fits or if her bumblebee fits.

Even better I do not have to worry about rushing at least on Tuesday and Wednesday mornings because I get out at 7:00 no problem and the bus comes to our driveway instead of at the bus stop because she is in Kindergarten and not even until 8:10! She will get off at our driveway around 11:50! I still have to talk to my boss about <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">getting</span> out at 7:00 on Thursday and Fridays.

She is nervous and excited. I am very excited but mostly nervous but it has nothing to do with her and her day. It has to do with the bus and if I will make it home on time to get to see her getting onto the bus for the first time ever and off to her first day of Kindergarten. So please send a few prayers our way that everyone gets into work tomorrow morning when they are supposed to and earlier would be great so I can get on the road right at 7:00 and hopefully have a smooth ride back home and hopefully be back at home no later than 7:45!Heatherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13507008620809637883noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4955796052883319191.post-5936590154856503772009-08-30T10:05:00.002-06:002009-08-30T10:06:55.324-06:00Peace and QuietChristian is sitting in his highchair eating a banana and Catherine is sitting at the table eating a peach!

I regret not grabbing the camera before cleanup.<br />While organizing Catherine's school clothes, the kids were in the living room alone. No big deal except I left Christian's diaper cream (triple paste = very thick white cream) in his reach. Next thing I know I have Catherine screaming to me that he has the cream all over him. I run to the living room to find Christian's leg and hands covered in cream. Also the couch has a few new white spots on it. <br />I am proud of myself. I did not yell at him, after all it was my fault for leaving it there, I just simply laughed and said OH MAN the whole time I cleaned him and the couch up, which were not easy tasks!Heatherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13507008620809637883noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4955796052883319191.post-59631691404156019572009-08-27T09:23:00.001-06:002009-08-27T09:24:38.957-06:00Kindergarten OrientationTonight at 5:00!
