Rub-a-Dub-Dub

I stopped giving Rhett a bath in my sink (another sign of them growing up way too fast). Here they all are, having a ball in the tub together. This has got to stop though! It is too crowded, I can't even get a decent scoop of water without knocking one leg here or a booty there. I also have two other children trying to be big helpers with washing the baby and it stresses me out!

Growth

My kids are getting so big lately.

Rhett is growing like crazy. He has started eating solid food. Feeding babies solid food is not my favorite thing. It is a mess, they have to learn how to eat with a spoon and It makes their poop really start to stink. It's just a lot easier to give them milk. But, I do what I'm supposed to. Rhett is rolling everywhere. When I put him down on the floor and I come right back he is in a totally different place. He is almost ready to sit up on his own, I think he will really like that.

Sage is potty trained! Hip Hip Hooray x 3!!!! I tried to train her during spring break but come to find out, you can't force a kid to potty train. Once we stopped, she wanted to go potty like a gazillion times a day, taking off all her clothes. That is so annoying!! So I just put panties on her and off we went with the occasional accidents and finishing off with a sticker chart. It seems to have worked and we are all happy about that.

Westin, Westin, Westin. He is a handful!! He is so excited about life and he wants to help with EVERYTHING!! In so doing he is pretty rough with the baby and with his sister. On the flip side, he is so obedient. He usually follows through with anything I ask him to do the first time I ask. He is starting to sound out words and want to learn to read. Preschool will be over in a few weeks and we are not going to know what to do with ourselves. He has had such a fun year going to preschool!

Ben is almost done with his Masters program and we are thrilled! I am totally into building our food supply lately. I wish I could actually do all that I want too with it. I have been enjoying canning and making bread. It's been really fun!!

I have been tagged, by a wonderful sister in law, so I must follow through.....
