I've done it again...

I've used up all the space on Robbie's photobucket site (where all his pictures/videos are). I've started another one here and the link on the left has also been updated.

It's been four years!

Happy Anniversary My Love.

I am Mommy

Story time.

We're dropping off Sophie at the kennel and Robbie's really excited that I let him hold onto her leash. He kept on saying "this is Sophie" to everyone while he looks for acknowledgement (I was busy signing paperwork). A lady was leaving and he lets her know what his puppy's name is, she replies with "and what's your name?"

"This Sophie (points to the dog). This Robbie (pats his belly). This Heather (points to me)"

Me: ummm, no. I'm Mommy!
He just looked at me and giggled.

He did it again when we were up in Cold Lake, he introduced me to the waitress as Heather... the little bugger!

A Cold Lake Visit

Just a couple teasers...

Potty Training - Part Deux

So today I felt like we took a big step forward in his training. I took the kids to Walmart to run some errands, while we were getting ready to go I asked for Robbie to bring me a pull-up. He was a little upset that he couldn't wear his undies, so I compromised and put the pull-up on over his undies and told him that if he has to pee to tell Mommy and that after we're done in the store we'll use the stores "special potty". When we got there, we took about 30-45 mins wandering around the store when Robbie noticed the golden arches (McDonalds) and started proclaiming that he was "OH SO hungry" (he had a Yop, 4 croissants and a banana for breakfast... either he's going through a growth spurt or he's got a serious weakness for fries) So I used it to my advantage telling him that after he eats we're going to use the store potty, to which he was quite excited to get this process going. He ate all his food (guess it is a growth spurt!) and then we headed to the washroom - by the time we got there it was a good 1 -1.5hrs since his last potty visit... his undies and pull-up were BONE DRY! I was so excited! He pee'd on the big toilet without and issues. I could hear the ladies giggling at me in the stalls beside us, I was so excited.

Tonight after dinner (he had a ham and cheese sandwich with cucumber and a bunch of carrots - he's eating SO WELL lately!) we went to the park and he didn't want to wear a pull-up. We reminded him that he couldn't get Spiderman wet (new undies we picked up) and he "ya ya'd" us like he's heard it a hundred times and he's a pro at this. We spent about an hour outside and on our way home we saw him grab his crotch and he let out an "uh oh" - we thought the worst. When we got home I put him on the potty and there was the tiniest little wet spot on his undies ... he must have realized that he was peeing and grabbed himself to stop it!

Poops are another story, they're hit and miss. He's figured out how to poop while standing, which makes catching him in the act that much more difficult. He HATES the feeling of poop in his undies, so I know he's going to catch on soon. When he does poop on the potty he always gets us to leave the room - it's a very private matter apparently, lol.

Robbie's 3rd Birthday

Pictures and run down of the big day will be trickling in.

Auntie Alison took these pictures of the kidlets and I couldn't help but make it into a progression picture. These two are too cute for words.

New Pictures...

I posted them here. More to come.

Gido, Great Baba and Great Gido Visit

We had a wonderful visit. I love seeing Ricks parents, they're super sweet and I love how much our family makes them happy. They came over today to celebrate Robbies birthday with him and he was tickled pink with all the toys and goodies he got. Thank you again guys! This was their first time meeting Lana so it was an extra special visit. We had hot dogs and hamburgers for lunch and had an ice cream cake for both Robbie and Great Gido (his birthday is on the 9th!)

I'm still working on some of the pictures (Colin's letting me use his big computer with a different photoshop program) but here are a couple of teasers.

"No Mommy, Daddy said yes"

WHAT?!

Either your Father and I, all of the sudden, have completely different views on parenting, discipline and even life in general OR you're lying to me!

Something as simple as:
"Robbie please don't hit Sophie"
"No Mommy, Daddy said yes"

or

"Robbie, please don't run"
"No Mommy, Daddy said yes"

He started saying it one day while Colin was at work. The first time I thought it was cute.... he's using his noggin to try and get his way. Now he says it on a daily basis... not so cute. My new task is to break it down for him and explain that lying is not nice.
