Let it be know that any house that has a PA system including tape deck, to play all your mixed tapes, is something special.
Sunday June 13, Camryn asked to wear panties. We had had one day of unsuccessful potty training before a few weeks ago and since then has avoided her panties like the plague. Since she was asking, I thought it only right that I accommodate her. Even wore them to church and stayed dry. Monday June 14, she was wet 3 times and pooped once. Tuesday was even worse as she wet her pants 2 times during my doctor's apt. By Wednesday, I was done and she was back in diapers.
Alex is probably the only 1st/2nd grader who has yet to lose a tooth. Granted, the fact that his first tooth didn't even come in until a week after his first birthday should have been a tip-off that losing the teeth wouldn't be easy. Finally 3 weeks ago he discovers that he has a lose tooth! but even with constant wiggling the blasted thing won't come out.
So what happens this weekend at the Rasmussens? Camryn becomes fully potty trained, pee and poop, even through the night and Alex loses that dang tooth! Apparently our house doesn't have "IT" but so long as we have access to the house that does, I think we'll be okay.
In other weekend news, we enjoyed hiking around Rocky Mountain National Park
watched a lot of World Cup,and visited the Budweiser Factory and learning all about the making of beer. The kids payed surprisingly good attention and even memorized the 5 ingredients to making beer (says Sydney: water, yeast, rice, barley and "jumps" aka hops).
Gotta love that beer knowledge... that's information is going to take her somewhere some day :-) LOL.. I think we need a trip to the magical Rassmussens. :-)
ReplyDeleteNever thinks of others that Bono. I should be there right now, seriously. Sad day. I guess I'll just have to make due with reality shows and ice cream.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the tooth Alex! Watch out - Hattie lost her first one last summer and then three in April! She has a big hole in her mouth that cracks me up! Yeah for the potty training - love that kind of magic! Sounds like it was a busy time!! So fun!
ReplyDeleteI am sure that Camryn will look back 10 years from now so grateful that her mom was so.... open? about her potty training experience!
ReplyDeleteAlex, loose tooth looks great!
Sydney, our soon to be family brewer!
OK, as perhaps the only homebrewer who would comment I feel it is my duty to do so: Rice is only used in brewing beer if you are making cheap, insipid brew. It is never used in any "real" beer. Wheat, perhaps in place of barley, but not rice. Please reeducate accordingly. Also, I too hope this blog is still up when Camryn is old enough to appreciate it.
ReplyDeletePretty funny that your kids know that recipe for Beer. Thanks for posting pictures. It is nice to see all of you!
ReplyDeleteso - is she trained or not? Congrats Alex - a milestone!
