Happy Birthday

David is 29 yrs old Today.

Never Mind

Well we are back to potty training. Now Andrew is taking us to the M&M stash to get one but we tell him that he has to sit on the potty chair to get one. We take out the chair and Andrew lifts the lid and sits down. He gets an M&M. Once he is on the chair, he asks for another M&M. Now we tell him that he has to go potty on the chair to get another M&M. So he sits on the chair and goes potty. When he stands up we take the bowl to the toilet and flush it down. Then he gets his reward. But if he fails to go potty, I do end up giving him a reward for trying. We do this at least once a day now. So he is getting the concept somewhat. No #2 yet just #1. One day he'll let us know when he needs to go and not use his diaper. For now we just get lucky when he goes on the chair. I'm not going to get our hopes up.

Anniversary

Well it was 6 years ago today that David and I were married and sealed in the Los Angeles Temple. These 6 years have gone by fast. I'm so happy to have David in my life and I don't know what I would do without him. Yesterday we kinda celebrated by going to the Temple to do some work. Since we got there late and missed a session, we decided to go do sealings instead. We had a nice surprise, they brought us to "our sealing room" to do the sealings. It really made our day to be able to go up to the room and to able to spend time in it again. For those that aren't familiar with that sealing room, that room is on the third floor all by itself. You have to take the elevator to get to the room. It is the largest sealing room in the Los Angeles temple. After the Temple we went out for lunch to a burger joint called the Habit. They have the best burgers and we will drive across the valley to get some. After lunch we picked Andrew up from my Parents house and went home. Then I went to work. That was our day yesterday and today as being the big day, I have to work an 8 hour sift. I wont be off work until 9pm tonight. Bummer.

Getting in Shape

Well we are on our way. For the past month, David and I have been going for a run at least twice a week. We usually go when he gets home from school and run down to the park. It is only maybe a mile but we take the long way to get there. Lately Andrew will play for a little bit and then climb back into the stroller to come home. (That is how we know when he wants to leave.) On our way home, Andrew always seems to fall asleep in the stroller. I have only lost maybe five pounds and I'm okay with that. David has just stayed the same but is replacing flubber for muscle. On the days that we don't feel like running, we just take a trip up to the pool to do some swimming. (The walk up to the pool is a workout of it's own.) Besides all this exercise we have been having some very uneventful days. I have kinda stopped pushing Andrew to get Potty trained. He likes to play with the chair but doesn't have the interest to use it. He is fine when I sit him on it but just doesn't get the fact that you are suppose to go on the chair. Right now, he'll be sitting on the chair one minute and then he'll run away and pee on the floor. I really don't want to deal with that at this moment in time. I'll wait until he starts to show the interest to sit on the chair. I really would love the fact that he goes on the chair right now but I just have to be patient. I don't want to discourage him too early. On some unhappy news, about two months ago David's motorcycle motor blew up. Just this last weekend we got it back from the shop. So David installed the motor in one and half days. When he was finished with the install we decided to on a ride. Andrew was down for a nap so we asked David's dad to keep an eye on Drew while we went for a ride. I was so excited because I've waiting for a little while to have some time to go on a ride with David. We went around the valley and got lunch. We were only gone for maybe two hours because I had to get ready to go to work. Then just yesterday, as David was on his way home from school, his motor on his bike blew up again. So he pulled it out and shipped it back to Colorado to get fixed. (He is very upset.) Now we will have to wait another month before we are able to go on a motorcycle ride together again.
