Tanner finally lost that tooth that was loose for way too long. It took him a good month to get it out. The permanent tooth started is pushing his other baby bottom tooth out now.
I tried potty training Ashlyn recently since she is 2, but quickly learned she is not ready. Or I am not. She loves to sit on her potty, and has been doing that for a couple months, but she doesn't seem to get that you pee in it. I sat in the bathroom with her while she sat on her potty for a good 20 minutes. We talked, and read books, but she never went. I let her up, and not 2 minutes later she was standing in a puddle yelling "Pee! Mom!" I was so mad. We will wait a bit longer before trying again. They say girls are easier, but I am thinking that is not so.
Not much going on with Dallin these days. He is becoming more "boy" lately. He has always liked rainbows and butterflies and feminine things. I never discouraged it. I don't want him to feel bad for liking "girly things". I don't even want to tell him that there are "girly" or "boy" things, society will do that soon enough. The other day while he was talking to the craft lady at Kid Time (a kids' museum in town) he said he likes slimy bugs. I was surprised because it is so unlike him. Maybe since he and Tanner are sharing a room, Tanner teaches him stuff at bed time.
I am 18 weeks pregnant now and finally getting past that "is-she-pregnant-or-did-she-just-eat-too-much around-the-holidays" stage of pregnancy. I am not really in the mood to take belly shots this time around. Maybe later I will have a change of heart. I have been discouraged with this pregnancy because I hate to lose my physical endurance, stamina and shape. I felt pretty fit before this pregnancy. I hate slowing down because I have to. My will wants to exercise at the level I had been, but my body won't let me. Anyway, maybe I will get over myself and be more excited about this pregnancy when I feel "it" move, and when "it" becomes a he or a she. I am hoping, or this could be a very long pregnancy.
