His Majesty

Every day this week Logan has asked to sit on his potty. We haven't
been pushing him at all on the potty training but I know enough to
encourage it every chance we get. :)

The only downside is he generally wants to sit on the potty right
before we have to leave in the morning, and he just sits and sits and
sits. It tries every ounce of patience in a body as you're scrambling
to get out at a decent hour.

Nights like tonight are no biggie tho. He tried out both the "big"
potty (our regular toilet) and the little potty here, drinking juice,
reading books and singing to himself.

He takes so long, there are cute little red rings on his butt once
he's (finally) all done. *sigh*

Distraction

Lately, anything related to art is a great distraction. I grabbed a brochure and pen for Logan to draw with while we waited (forever) at the vet's office this evening.

Unfortunately, Lola's cancer has returned. :( We're doing another set of chemotherapy treatments; not nearly as long nor as intense a program as before (her body wouldn't be able to take it) but hopefully it will help.

Make way, beached whale coming through....

I've had several ultrasounds so far, and everything looks wonderfully normal. The last several weeks have been exhausting, totally stressful and nauseating.

Literally.

I'm feeling much better now that we've consistently seen a steady, strong heartbeat and active movement at each visit. And, although I am expanding in all directions by the minute (oy! again?!?), we are getting more and more excited about the arrival of Logan's new baby sibling.


Due May 7, 2010.

One flu shot down...

Took care of Logan's regular flu shot this morning. He was a champ as usual, barely batted an eye. Now only 5 more flu shots (for our family) to go! ;-)

Chatty Cathy

Logan stayed with my parents for a few hours this morning while Jon and I visited Jenn and Jarrod at the hospital to meet their new son Connor - what a cutie! It's hard to imagine Logan was that tiny once too. :)

When we picked Logan up, he wanted to play with the phone while we chatted with my parents. He picked up the receiver, and held a short conversation all on his own.

"Hi."
"Home. Mama."
"Bye-bye."

Robert's a Big Brother!

Jenn and Jarrod welcomed a new little boy into their family this morning and we couldn't be more excited for them! He was a healthy 7 lbs, 8 oz and 20" long! Mama, baby and family are all doing great.

They haven't named him yet, so I hear everyone's calling him "Baba" in the meantime, since that is what his big brother Robert has named him. :)


Congrats guys!! We are so happy for you and can't wait to meet the little one!!

Update: They have decided to name him Connor Austin Jodoin! :)

Halfway there

Not sure if this will work but sending a video from my phone to the
blog. If it doesn't work I'll fix it tonight when I'm back online.
This was taken last night. I was working and Logan was sputtering
(very cute!) nonsense for a good 15 minutes before the genius in me
thought to pull out the camera. You can hear a little bit of it still
but he got camera shy pretty quick. :)

I'm currently siting on a plane, in Houston, waiting to take off for
the east coast. Jon flew home today, via Houston as well. We waved
while we passed each other mid air. I'll have to wait till Friday to
get my "I'm finally back home" hug and kiss.
