Friday Yet Again

Another week has come and gone, and we're back to the weekend. I sat down a couple of times this week to write in my blog but I just couldn't think of anything to say. It was a pretty uneventful week here.

We tried the potty training thing again with Addy. I was happy leaving things alone for awhile (although I am so tired of changing diapers I could cry). But Sunday night Addy made the "poop face" and Jamie asked her if she needed to go potty and she went straight to the bathroom. So I thought maybe she was ready. Monday morning came, I put her on the potty right away. You could tell she was trying but nothing came, so I put her in a pair of panties and off we went with our day. We tried a couple times between then and lunch (she had slept in so there wasn't much time there) and nothing. During lunch she was sitting in her high chair and got a strange look on her face, so I asked her if she needed to go and she gave me her yes "noise" but by the time she was out of the chair she had wet herself. And boy did that upset her. And after that she didn't even want to try anymore. I'd say 'potty' and she'd throw a tantrum. So that was the end of that.

Lexi had her shots last Friday and that went well. She cried a bit, but I managed not to. She is now weighing in at 13 pounds, 12.5 ounces and is just under 25 inches long. She seems chubbier to me than Addy did, but I checked Addy's book and she was actually bigger at her 4-month shots (14 pounds 6 and 3/4 ounces and 25 inches long). So I must not be remembering very well.

Anyways, at that appointment the health nurse also told me they changed the recommended age to start introducing solids. It was 4 months when I had Addy, but now it's 6 months. But I had already started Lexi on rice cereal at that point. So I'm still debating whether I will continue or not, but since then she hasn't gotten it.

This week has actually been really crappy weather-wise. Overcast every day (although I believe Wednesday morning was nice, but it went to the crapper by lunch time) and at the very least rain, although I think we had a thunderstom every day too. But so far, today is nice. Hopefully it stays that way. Savannah and Alicia are spending the night here tonight and I thought it'd be fun to have a campfire. And I'm dying to get outside and get some fresh air (and get my kids out...You can tell Addy has been cooped up too long), so hopefully the weather cooperates.

This weekend should be a busy one too (although aren't they all?). Tomorrow is the community garage sale, so I will definitely be doing alot of garage-saling. The rib cook-off happens tomorrow too, so that saves me having to make a meal but it's definitely not a time-saver. Tomorrow night is Irene's bridal shower, which Martina, Lexi and I are going to. And then Sunday we're off to the city to buy Jamie his Father's Day BBQ, do his tux fitting for Kim and Ryan's wedding and hopefully be back in time to get to the beach with Holly and the girls, assuming it's nice.

I'm tired just thinking about it all.
