Ten on Wednesday
1. Drew took his first steps this week!! Yay!!
2. The weather has been HOT! It's really affected Drew's asthma and he's been wheezing since last week. I took him to the doctor and he's now on prednisone on top of the other asthma medication he takes daily. So scary for such a little guy.
3. We had a busy but fun weekend. Two birthday parties and a baby shower.
4. I took Bella to buy new sneakers and an outfit for the first day of kindergarten. Two weeks to go..
5. She chose gray and purple sneakers. They are very grown up looking and have LACES. I said those are pretty cute tennis shoes. She looked at me with a funny look and asked, "what are tennis shoes? these are my running shoes?"
6. Both the girls have hair appointments next week. Isabella is begging for "cute short hair". I'm not feeling it at all. Amelia doesn't want any hair cut off. She wants hers to be as long as a little second grader she looks up to.
7. We went and picked blueberries at our friends house last week. There is nothing like fresh blueberries. Delicious. The kids had a lot of fun picking them. Everytime they eat them, if they're eating the berries they picked.
8. Jason put down the flooring in our attic today. I'm hoping he'll be parking in the other side of the garage by the weekend. He only has one major project left - staining the deck.
9. With school starting up and promotion at church, we're trying to get everyone ready for their new teachers. Jason is teaching Sunday school, I'm helping with 2nd grade children's choir and teaching AWANA every week. On top of all our "normal" school activities this is going to be our busiest year yet.
10. Will finally went and got his Basketball for being fully potty trained now. He's very excited about it and loves to go outside and shoot some hoops every night.

ten on Tuesday
1. We finally have only one child in diapers. Yay Will. It's been a long, slow road and I know it's still going to take a lot of work on everyone's part to remain comitted and accident free. But we're in underwear and we're not going back. Expect to see a drastic drop in Pampers stock :)
2. The only major hurdle left in the potty training is pooping. Will waits until bedtime (an absolute first for him) and the nighttime pull-up to be put on, put in bed, and poops. Every single night. I hear this is typical behavior with most potty trainers but it's on my very last nerve.
3. Will is obsessed with the Cowboys and Indians and the Western channel. He loves and I mean loves John Wayne and old western shows. The other day Jason was watching a war movie with John Wayne and Will said "LOOK Daddy, the Cowboy's on tv!!"
4. Isabella and Amelia are official swimmers. They can both swim unassisted across the deep end of the swimming pool. They think they're big time now. I have to admit, Jason and I are both very proud of them.
5. Drew is allergic to Zinc Oxide. I knew this because of the diaper rash/diaper cream drama. I totally forgot about zinc oxide being in sunscreen. I switched sunscreen after reading a report about the negative effects of spray versus lotion and wouldn't you know, the lotion I switched to contains 14.5%. So my poor baby boy has a terrible rash and blisters all over his face.
6. We celebrated Drew's first birthday this weekend. I still can't believe he's turning one tomorrow. Wow, this year has gone by too quickly.
7. We have less than a month of summer vacation left. While I've enjoyed all the long hours at the pool, I'm kind of looking forward to getting back to a normal routine with the kids.
8. Three more weeks of Mother's Morning Out. I can't thank our church enough, and the ladies who provide this service FOR FREE every Wednesday morning, for doing this. You provide some tired moms with a few hours to themselves each week. I wish everyone was blessed enough to have the wonderful church family that we have found.
9. Will is FINALLY swimming in his puddle jumper. I really think he did this today to impress his little girlfriend but he was swimming in it. Alone and not screaming. In the deep end. With water in his face. I'll take it.
10. I am still waiting on my Mother's Day present to arrive. In case anyone is wondering exactly how long it takes to ship something from China to the southern US? The answer is three months. Jason is more annoyed about this than I am. It's taking so long I kind of passed annoyed 4 weeks ago.

Drew's 1st Birthday Party
We celebrated Drew's first birthday this past weekend. I can't believe he turns one on Wednesday. My parents and my granny came down to help us celebrate. The girls and Will had a great time visiting with Granny! They loved sending text messages with her and talking with her for hours. We sure wish they lived closer.
