I’m beginning to get a little worried that my little Levi will never get potty trained. I think I’ve heard that if they don’t like the feel of the wet/messy diapers, it will encourage them to potty train. Levi has been actually throwing fits when I change his really wet diapers lately. He’ll yell, scream …

Jude, the Karate Kid
For at least a year now, I’ve been wanting to get Jude started in karate. Jude’s good friend from across the street is in karate and raves about the awesome instructor. Last night Jude, Asher and I went to the karate school for orientation. I was pretty impressed with everything I saw. Jude loves Kung Fu Panda …
Jude’s Off to Grandma’s
It’s MEA for school-aged Jude and Ivan so my sister sent her boys to my parents’ house for 5 days. Jude is on his way there as well (Uncle Mike picked him up after arriving at the airport after some business trip). Jude is pretty excited to get to spend 4 days with his cousins. But, …
Leaves and Ash
Leaves and Ash (as I sometimes call Levi and Asher) are doing great. Ash is hard to keep up with. I walked from the toy room to the family room tonight while picking up and listening to the debate and thought Levi was at the computer (a common place for him), but it was little Ash. He …
½ Bald, but Beautiful
Half of Jude’s head is still as bald as can be. I noticed when reviewing a history and physical form that his pediatrician had to fill out prior to Jude’s last MRI that the pediatrician noted in the unusual appearance section, “head shaved.†Uh, not really. Some people have been asking us if we are …
Fall Festivities
We had a fun weekend. On Saturday, we went to Andy’s friend’s house for a Oktoberfest party. The friend has a young son and our boys just loved his toys and playset and didn’t want to leave. They also had lots of candy corn on hand so I didn’t really want to leave either. I …
Jude the Sneak
I’ve always known Jude was sneaky, but he demonstrated it quite nicely tonight. First, he asked me, “Is vitamin C good for you?” When I responded affirmatively, he said, “Then can I have some of this pink lemonade. It says ‘good source of vitamin C.’” I felt I couldn’t turn him down at that point …
Jude’s Quotes of the Day
To Andy last night when Andy was exascerbated when he couldn’t find the remote control and had exclaimed, “I’m about to lose my mind!”: “You can’t lose your mind. It’s in your head.” To me when he saw Andy wearing Superman pajamas pants this morning, “Ha! Are those jammies? I never knew grown ups wore …
A Month of Misery
The last month has been fairly miserable for me. I was so stressed out because I’ve been really busy at work and have had to spend much of the time on the weekends cramming for a big client presentation. The presentation was yesterday and went really well. It’s a huge relief to be done with …
Jude’s Quote of the Day
Last night when I was laying down with Jude after praying and telling a funny story he kept chatting and chatting and it became 11:20 p.m. He said, “What happens if I don’t fall asleep? If I don’t fall asleep at night and fall asleep in the morning, I’ll turn noctural. [I laugh] Really, I …
