Kona (as in coffee)

Today we finally made the big leap into pet ownership! We went to the humane society looking for a male Beagle and came out with a female Terrier. She is a three month old puppy that we will get to bring home on wednesday(she has to be fixed first). We are all thrilled and cannot waitto get her into our home. Even our Rachel, who is terrified of most dogs, loves her! I figure, I just got finished with potty training a child I might as well keep going and potty train a puppy while I am at it. :)

A long time...

Quite some time has passed since I last updated this. We have since moved and settled into our home. A blessing to be sure! I am getting ready for my first school year homeschooling two children. And I have re-entered the joyous and candy filled world of potty-training. Today was probably one of the funniest experiences with the potty(outside of the time Isaac wanted to see his go fish cards swim in the toilet). I was trying to get Naomi to go potty before nap time and knew she had to go based on the amount of fluids she had taken in. In the process I learned she also had to go #2 well let me tell you the screaming that ensued you would have thought she lost a limb. I stepped out of the bathroom and that is when she let out the scream" MOMMY- I went poo-poo!!!!!!!" I have never in three rounds of potty training had a child afraid of this but then again Naomi is not like the others! On to another round on the potty. :)
