Potty Trained!

Yeah, I know, I'm probably going to go home and have to clean up an accident now, but I feel fairly safe in saying that our son is fully potty trained! He's not had a full-blown accident in quite some time. We still have to ask him occasionally if he needs to go, but on the whole, he does it by himself. Momma is especially excited, since she wanted that done by his third birthday and here we are with basically a month to spare.

Speaking of birthday, his party stuff came this week. We are renting out the Depot for a Thomas party on his birthday, which is a Saturday this year. He was pretty disappointed that he didn't get to play with the stuff right now, but seemed to enjoy helping with the invitations when Meron did them this week. I think it'll be a lot of fun, really, and he should enjoy it a lot.

Sarah is doing well, but she's gotten into a stage of not sleeping much more than an hour unless she is on one of us (usually Meron) or in bed with us. Which really limits our evening activities--Meron's been wanting to blog for some time now, but she never gets the chance. Sarah also tends not to be fond of her daddy when she's tired. The last couple of weeks, if I get her at the wrong time, she will scream and scream and doing everything not to fall asleep. Usually after 15-30 minutes, Meron can't handle it anymore and takes the child, who then immediately quiets down and usually falls asleep. Makes a person feel great, you know?

Meron took the kids to the pumpkin patch at my parents' church this week. Maybe we'll get some of those pictures up this weekend if we get a chance.

Fairly big weekend starting today, at least in comparison. This evening, Meron's mommy group is having a picnic at our church. We are cooking out burgers on the church's BBQ pit and somehow I got put in charge of that. So that could be quite interesting. I've cooked burgers at home but not usually for a group. Not that much to it, though, so I'm sure everything will go fine.

Tomorrow, Mom and Dad are taking Benjamin for the day so they can go to the Tech homecoming game while the rest of us make a quick trip to Little Rock to do some birthday shopping. I think he'll have fun out there watching the game and playing around, but I've decided not to take him to the Razorback game next week. Still looking around for someone to go with me to that game.

Anyway, tomorrow evening is poker, as far as I know. I hope to be a little better than I was last time, but odds are I'll be home early.

Hope you have a great weekend!
