I just found this picture I made on my PC and in case you have not seen it, here it is again from when Jonah was born:




I took today a tour at Olivia's Elementary School for kindergarten and I was not really impressed. But since this is the public school meant for our district we need to go there. The school is by all means not horrible - it is probably just me...coming from a preschool with 8 kids in the class to kindergarten where there are 20+ in the class...I don't know. I mean, I grew up with 20 other kids in my class so why do I think it is wrong for Olivia?

I don't know, probably just motherly feelings...

Besides that I think it is kind of safe to report that Jonah got the hang of using the toilet FINALLY!! I mean, I train him since a year and a half...but with getting toys for poopies and candy for pee pee in the toilet I think he really got it now. Even when he is running around naked he's calling me and runs to the bathroom when he feels that he needs to go! We have not had one dirty poopy diaper in about 2-3 weeks!!

Here and there little pee pee accidents in this underware when we are out and about or he is really engaged in something, but when I make him go to the bathroom he even will pee for me into the toilet!! So I guess we are on a really good way to get out of diapers during the day!


He was as well dry for a quite long stretch in November during the night but with all his night sweat issues and putting the kids together in a room for the night we did not work on that again. What is more important? A good night's sleep without leaving puddles of sweat on the sheets or pee into the diapers?

Kids are seperated for sleeping again since about 4 weeks and they both do great! Both were a little sweaty for about 2-3 nights and after that all is good!
Here pictures from Oliva with her Valentine's bag that she made in preschool. All kids gave their classmates a little thing (one piece of candy or a pencil or stickers) so that everybody could take home something. That was so cute!

And one picture of Oliva's artwork in school. There are just little white spots to be found since Olivia really tries hard to paint the entire paper!

I love that picture...it really tells a story. I hope Olivia does not get Connor's teacher. She is pretty rough around the edges.

I saw Connor and his teacher...yeah, she seems to be pretty straight forward...I really have mixed feelings about this school...
