Potty Training...Ugh!

Well, I have decided to start potty training Luke. He is now a little over 2 1/2 and he was showing signs of wanting to start training so last Friday was the big day. So far he has been pretty receptive to it all. Except for going #2. He would rather go in his pants and doesn't seem to care. You can tell when he needs to go because he keeps running to the bathroom and sitting on the potty but won't go. I know that he will get it but I could really see this lasting for awhile. I just want to snap my fingers and all of this be over but I see a long process in the future. I am just praying for perseverance. It isn't one of those things that you can just say, "Nah, I don't wanna." It has to be done. Does anybody have any tips? I would love to hear any advice that you have!

Here is a picture of Kate that I took of her wearing Luke's coat. Just thought I would throw that in.

Someday

Someday I will be able to take lots of cute pictures of my kids. Luke was such a great picture taker when he was a baby. He would smile at the drop of a hat. Then he went through a stage where he would scream when you tried to take his picture. For some reason he just didn't want to be still long enough to take the picture. Now he will at least sit there and say "cheese" just long enough to get one good picture but then the wheels fall off.......

Here is the good picture that I got.

This is the next picture. Luke starts crying because he doesn't want to take another picture. He wants to see the picture that I just took on the view finder of the camera. He can't get out of that wagon fast enough.

Now he is at my feet crying for me to let him see the picture. This time I decided to document it on camera.

Someday I will be able to sit my kids down and have a great time taking cute pictures of them. Although, I don't see that happening in the near future. O-well. There is a time and season for everything!!

Disney World

John and I had such a great time at Disney World. We really enjoyed the break from being parents for a little while. Just being on your own schedule was nice. Getting to sleep when we wanted to and getting to eat when we wanted to. Those were the great luxuries of the trip. We were constantly reminded of our kids though and really missed them. We want to take the kids some day but they will have to be much older. Here are a few pictures from the trip:

Picture with Pooh. Luke loves Pooh!

A friend that I played basketball with in college was going to be in Orlando at the same time that we were so we met on Sunday night and ate at the Rainforest Cafe and then went back to their hotel room to watch the Super Bowl. I was sad to see that the pictures didn't turn out. Don't know why.

Here are my little Mouseketeers

Kate was not too crazy about the hat.
