Tired~but happy

Tonight I am trying to sum up my feelings, I can't. It might get a little lengthy but I need to clear my mind...

Life is still overwhelmingly good! My girls are healthy, even with all the stuff going around we are doing well.

Ryan is home from Arizona and has found a house he intends to buy for us. It is insane how fast all this is moving. After months of praying and hoping, now the time has come for me to make some scary choices and possibly a lot of really big changes. Now that everything I asked for, more than I dared to dream of is staring me in the face I am shaking~ am I ready?

Work is difficult as all the kids are officially preschoolers and their needs and moods are adjusting so quickly I cannot keep up. This stage is a terrifying to me~this is where the proof is in the pudding. The twins and Amelia have turned 3 and so the last 3 years of my life, time and love and everything I have put in to them is coming out~and honestly I'm scared beyond words. They are genuinely good kids don't get me wrong, this is just the yucky stage where they are really opinionated and testing you constantly, watching every reaction and listening to every word you say. It is so very revealing and it makes me feel so very vulnerable... UGH! The good thing is they are officially potty trained!

When did the twins start the potty training process. Jade was so easy but Brock will be more difficult.

We started with the boys last fall, right around their 3d bday. Its funny because I've always said that when they decide its easy, it just happens. I ate my words with the boys. I'd ask them and they'd say no because they didn't want to stop playing, then I'd notice they were wet like 2 mins later. They just didn't care and it seemed like it took forever. I was spoiled by the easy girls!

I was hoping to get Brock potty trained sooner than three, but he absolutely shows no interest and like you said, he's too busy to worry about going to the bathroom. We'll see how it goes. I'm glad for your sake though, that the twins and Amelia are all potty trained. :)
