the plague, prancing, puking pincess, and potty

We are being thrown back into the swing of things around here after a flu bug has run its course (almost fully), and with a 2 or 3 sore throat strains (one of which I'm sure was strep) "bugging" us for the last month, we are celebrating--perhaps prematurely--our family's overall wellness again. Praise the Lord! (And by the way, I'm very sorry to anyone who came within a 10-foot radius of our diseased crew.) The important thing that's come of this is that I now have skills to juggle multiple puke, potty and poop explosions at a single moment in time. Here are the boys celebrating with the famous Hamster Dance that they learned at VBS: There's still time for someone else to fall victim. But for today, Cami has gone back to school after being sick yesterday, and the boys and I went to Calvin's preschool open house with our little puking princess. Here she is on her favorite froggy play mat. Just yesterday I saw her reach out and try to grab a hanging toy with her hand. Hooray for motor skills! The other thing we've jumped into with both feet is potty training. Yay! I forgot how much fun it was...NOT. Although Jude is at least interested at this point, so we will not be backing down any time soon. Happy Tuesday to you all! Hope you have a healthy week. ;)
