Activities in Our Home...

Let's start of with the successes here:

Ryan is learning to read and write his letters. He hasn't shown much interest before now but he wants to learn. He has some incentive which is very personal to him so I won't disclose it here.

Katie wore underwear overnight over the weekend and didn't wet them. We are excited that we might be getting out of pull ups for her soon.

Bella is asking to go on the potty by saying poo poo. She is now peeing on it as well. It's not consistent but I know that with a little work on her part and my own maybe just maybe we possibly get her trained by 18 months. I'm not holding my breath but keep your fingers crossed that this will continue.

Now for what we're still working on:

Ryan and Katie are still learning what each letter sounds like.

Bella--well let's just say that mealtime can be messy if she self feeds. We've tried Butternut squash and now we're trying corn. So far so good with the lack of reactions (the only exception being her reaction to dairy). We haven't tried tomato product yet with her along with a few other things like zucchini, summer squash, broccoli, cauliflower, and meats like ham and fish. We don't eat beef here for various reasons so none of the kids have tried it or tofu.

She still prefers the bottle from time to time so we are working on it. She doesn't like the original organic enriched rice milk so when we are done with the one we are working on, we are switching her over to the vanilla flavored organic enriched rice milk. Perhaps it'll be a flavor she likes.

Well today I going to make jook and make a chicken dish in the crockpot.

Back to working on writing letters on our doodle pros and potty training!!
