School has started again for the boys. They didn't seem as excited as I thought they might be. Most of the time they seem to really like school.
We took advantage of the boys being gone today and took Bre to see The Princess and the Frog. She loved it. In fact Owen and I quite enjoyed it as well. The only problem was when we went to the store afterward, she saw some Princess and the Frog books. And when I grabbed her hand and tried to lead her away, she did her flop thing. Her flop thing is the way that Bre throws fits. When I try to take her away from where she wants to be I will grab her hand, well instead of screaming and kicking she just goes completely limp. She is really hard to carry when she does this by the way. Well it was Owens first time seeing her just flop. and well, he thought it was pretty funny. Two year olds are so much fun.
Yesterday we were able to make it to Alora's baby blessing (my new niece). And we actually got there about an hour early. So while we were hanging out in the hall. I took Bre to the bathroom, since she is now potty training. Well when she goes to the bathroom, I make a big deal about it, by cheering and clapping. This has seemed to be working quite well (its a trick I learned from one of my preschool professors); simple yet effective. Anyway, when I sat down to take my turn using the restroom. Bre asked if I was going poop, and when I said yes, she started cheering and clapping for me. "Yay, mommy, good job". Is nothing sacred. apparently not with a two year old.
One week left until I start my semester, and I am still a little nervous. I just hope that I will be able to schedule a babysitter for Bre now that Owen will not be able to work his schedule out to work with mine.
Life is ready to be CRAZy once more, believe it or not, the holidays has really been a holiday for me.
