So, I've been potty-training Daniel for the past week. Yeah, it's been awesome in a totally-not-awesome sort of way. And coincidentally, I started that process the same day Phillip and I decided our family should take a week-long break from recreational computer/iPad use. It was great for the kids, but not so great for me.
As I cleaned up lots of puddles and dutifully steered clear of the computer, I was often reminded of a line from the film Seabiscuit, in which the narrator ironically notes that the Depression began during America's Prohibition years: "At a time when the world really needed a drink,
you couldn't get one
in the United States of America." Yeah--there were many times last week when I needed to decompress and really missed Pinterest.
The potty training continues, but at least the gizmo fast is over.
Today's not-so-favorite moments included . . .
. . . potty training Daniel.
Today's favorite moments included . . .
. . . cuddling Anna, and feeding her one of my new favorite dinners: BBQ Chicken Quinoa Salad. She loved the quinoa, corn, beans, and avocado. Mmmm.
. . . Joy gleefully running over to give a classmate a hug when I dropped her off at kindergarten. I'm glad she's happy and making friends.
