As if our lives aren't crazy enough these days with school, preschool, speech therapy, school for Jon, we've decided to sign up Austin for basketball. He'll have practices every Tues and Thurs evening and practices on Saturdays as well as games on Saturday. So, if anyone wants to come to support Austin, we would love to have you there. Once I get a schedule and times and places I'll post it. At first he didn't want to do it, but then thought again and decided it would be really fun, besides he's actually pretty good.

Another crazy thing in our house is that Samantha is 99% potty trained now. She only wears a pull up at night, or when we go out...but she hasn't had an accident in at least a week now. I was debating getting her a potty chair because I thought it might be easier for her, but she gets up on the big potty all by herself. She started really taking the initiative to do it on her own earlier this week. She had a bout of diarrhea this week and she must have gotten herself on the potty at least 20 times over a few days and didn't even have one accident. I was very impressed. She comes and gets us and says, "ew mom, poop in toilet"...so we go to inspect and sure enough it's staring at us in all its glory. She just hasn't figured out that she needs to wait for mom or dad to help her wipe. She just drops and runs. But hey, I'm glad she's going now.

I've been sick, really the only one with a terrible head cold. I don't know for the life of me where I could have gotten it, but I did. No one else is sick, which is a blessing and curse. A blessing because I don't have to take care of sick people and be sick, a curse because I'll probably be feeling well next week and having to take care of sick people. What do you do?
