Monday morning

Wow...didn't realize till now that I missed two days last week...too much excitement around here! Raina's beautiful dress is perfect for her by the way. She ate a little yogurt and some oat squares in milk and had orange juice. The boy finished his bottle and then gobbled down his cereal with pears and his next bottle about 9:40. He went down for nap about 10:20. He was very gentlemanly and laughed when I laid him down and pulled the shades. Grandpa and Raina left for kindermusik about 10 and went out "the back way" since they are tearing things up and a big truck to haul the stuff away is part way down the drive. They have a cutting tool to make precise rectangles and then a forklift takes them to the truck. We all went out and watched a while on the back porch since they started just off the concrete up by the shop. Great fun!! The guy told me it should only take half a day to tear up and the paving crew would come tomorrow. Then we have to stay off of it for a few days.
Onward to lunch. Liam ate a whole sweet potatoes and finished off his breakfast fruit, so he's had two whole canisters today! He laid down about 1:45.
Raina had apple sauce and peanuts and mac and cheese and milk. She has had a hard day on diapers...she won't pee when she sits on the potty. Then she gets up and pees in the diaper. I don't know why or what to do. I just shake my head and change her rather noncomitally. She seems happy with it. (She also says on Friday she's having a birthday party, so go figure what she's thinking.) We put up some Halloween decorations for fun and got out orange plates to eat on. She had fun looking at our old Halloween stuff. She watched one "High 5" and is going to read books after she goes potty with grandpa. Maybe he'll have more luck.
