Dog Days

The summer has finally settled down to some fun relaxing days just to start thinking about school again! Just to update, Jason is doing great. He's been able to get back to work now. We haven't really noticed any problems with the Crohns acting up, so that is great, but still just being cautious. School starts in just two weeks. I will be teaching history and science for 3rd-8th grade and PE, art & music for preK-12. Payton will be starting 3rd grade and Ashleigh kindergarten. Due to some recent developments it looks like Adi will be starting school this year too! Last Wednesday it was literally like a switch was switched and Adi comes up to me and tells me she wanted to wear underwear. Not really having done too much potty training with her, I was real hesitant but put a pair of underwear on her. Feeling like I needed to walk around with a drip pan under her, I was cautious about where she was playing (not on the CARPET!!) and asking every 15 minutes if she needed to go potty. To my surprise she told me every time she needed to pee. She had one poop accident but since then has been dry - even at night!! We will still give it another few weeks and as we feel ready, even up to the first day of school will sign her up if she continues on this path. I "think" I'm emotionally ready to have my baby be in school. I do know that after almost 8 years of buying and changing diapers, I am definitely ready to be a diaperless house!!
