Call me tomorrow!

We just had Rodrigo's family in town for lunch today.  It was so fun, however funny that we had to entertain them on a plastic table and chairs.  At one point I tried to use a large beach towel as the table cloth, but Rodrigo wouldn't have it and thought we should the curtain instead... so we did. :)  Get this, after this wonderful day and wonderful meal, then my daughter wanted to go home with Tia Dani and VaBina.  I cant believe it... no crying... nada.  She just packed her bag and got in the van and told me to call her tomorrow.  I dont know if I am ready for this.  So independant and only 2.  They drove off with huge smiles, all of them.  What A Good Day. 

Potty Training & Training Wheels

Well this title just speaks for itself.  In one day Ben was riding a bike without training wheels and Gabi was potty trained.  “How did I do it? You ask”?  Well I don’t mind to tell you that one day we ripped off the training wheels and he rode off into the sunset, not a bit of trouble.  I must say he had done it before but it was on a smaller bike.  But anyway… Gabi’s story is much better.  Well she has been toiling around with the notion of wearing big girl pants.  Especially since Tia Dani brought her an array of beautiful panties.  She did good one day and then the next day she had 3 accidents all over the house.  My strategy… the next day she woke up and wanted to put on her big girl pants so I told her that she would have to wear diapers today because she had so many accidents but we could try again tomorrow.  She put her little frown on her face and said “but I want to”.  I told her she would have to ask her daddy to see if he would let her since I was going to work.  But I told her I didn’t think it was a good idea.  She asked and he thought about it and said that he would let her give it a try.  Since then… dry big girl panties.  Hello School…Gabi is going to school!

Soccer for Mommy

Almost Friday.... After work I am playing Soccer!  I am so excited!  I cant imagine running around again...10 years later.  Seriously, it has been like 10 years since I have played ... wait I did play on a Slow pitch softball team in Alaska, but anyway it will be like 10 years since I have ran around in circles playing with a ball.  I am going to be tired Saturday for sure.  Wish me luck.
