Our lives as parents

Mom’s embarrassing moment involving potty-training, or lack of.

It’s May! Can you believe it? I can’t! I’ve been home since the middle of January and parenting from home…a whole new world!

I thought I would be a lot more scheduled and disciplined but I think I expected too much.

As a new stay-at-home mom, I am still getting my feet wet. I am learning new routines, new sources of frustration and new sources of joy. Although we don’t have a strict routine established yet, we have ditched the pacy (or shi as Aden called it), and are learning to use the potty. I think we have a ways to go on that one.

One of the best toy purchases I have made recently was a bug catching net. Endless hours of entertainment for a young boy of two! We have already caught spiders, butterflies and lizards!

We gave Aden his first camera yesterday, an old 1 megapixel camera of Kevin’s. He loves it! He is so engaged with it and that was before he was even shown the pictures! His work is brilliant! I need to follow him around and take pictures of whatever he does! He loves taking pictures of all the things that he sees, from his shoes to rocks to his toys to grass!
