Addison's 3 months and school's started

Time has flown by!  We started school and Nate has learned about parent guilt when I tell him Braelyn wonders where her daddy is. It's hard when he has late practice and doesn't get home until after her bedtime. There were a few days of 2-a-days before school started that he didn't see her at all for a few days. So we make the most of time we have on the weekends and I bring the girls to see him between school and late practice if I have to. Here he took Braelyn to the park and they played in the slide.

We also have tried doing some crafts with her, which she calls "craps". She made some coasters or something out of pony beads.

We are potty training, with good success.  She has about one accident a day, usually poop.  Her prize when she has one week with no accidents is a tricycle (or scooter or bike, depends on how old she is at that point). She doesn't quite understand as every time she goes on the toilet, she says "get tricycle" ha.

Addison is doing well. She is growing and likes to look at you and talk. She is also starting to grab at toys.

Here's some pictures

And Nate got some toddler sized soccer shirts this year.

Hunter is (has) a pain in his butt

Hunter is starting to be more high maintenance than the girls. He was dehydrated several weeks ago and had issues passing a whole bunch of rubber bands and ponytail holders. At least he's stopped eating twist ties. Now he has an abscess in his anal gland. He had this before and had to have surgery because it was so bad. Not so this time (guess I caught it sooner). So he's wearing the cone of shame again.

Everyone is sleeping at the moment, thank goodness. We went to the park early this morning, then went to pick up some stuff from a friend of mine, stopped at McDonalds to let Braelyn go potty (she loves public toilets for some reason) and then she got to play on the play place, which she loved. We then went to pick up a trike and a rocking chair I found on Craigslist. The trike is her present for no accidents and pooping on the potty. Since she had three accidents yesterday (one was my fault), she won't get it unless she does better today and tomorrow. I am putting her off by telling her she needs a helmet to ride it. :)

Here she is in her crusader soccer shirt.

Addison officially hates the carseat. If we want to go somewhere, we better take something to prevent a headache and expect her to scream the entire time. This cements my thoughts that my girls are too stubborn to cry it out. That's the other reason we stopped at McDonalds. To get a break from the crying. Here she is, sleeping on my lap.
