Happy Father's Day!

I am very grateful for my Dad, Paul's Dad, and Paul. Nadia and Ian are so very blessed to have such a great Dad, PopPop, and Grandpa! To celebrate Paul's special day, I had made 3 photo gifts and one photo card for him (and of course I found deals so I only paid shipping for each of them, lol). The two spiral notebooks and the pad of notepaper have pictures of Ian and Nadia on them, and they are two items that Paul uses for work. I also went to McD's this morning and got him 2 bacon, egg, and cheese bagels. His first choice would be Dunkin Donuts, but his second choice is McD's. Nadia also made him a card at church this morning.


Nadia is really doing a great job with potty training. I'm sure she'll still have an accident now and then, but she's mostly potty trained. If I put her on the toilet when she gets up in the morning, after she eats, and after her nap, she usually will immediately go. What a breakthrough! She also has transitioned to the regular potty. One of her little potties has been packed away in Ian's closet. I am keeping one in our bathroom in case she needs to use it while I am showering. She has been staying dry during her naps; so the last several days she's been staying in underwear for 12-14 hours straight. Since she peed twice before we went to church, I didn't even put a pull-up on over her underwear for our trip to church. We were at church 3 hours so I had her try to go before we left, and she succeeded! It was the first time she used a public toilet. YAY! At this point I will take some of the responsibility for any accidents she has because I think if I put her on the potty frequently enough, she won't have any #1 accidents. She also stayed dry last night! I think it won't be long before she's also night time potty trained. Way to go, Nadia! I am very glad that she has come so far in the last week with potty training.
Ian gained 7lb 1oz in exactly 2 months. His 4 month doctor appt was on 4/20, and today he weighs 16lb 7oz! Paul is going to go with me on Thursday to take the kids to their doctor appointments, what a relief! It will be Nadia's 2  year check-up, and Ian's 6 month check-up. I'm hoping since it's her birthday she won't need any shots that day. I know Ian will be getting shots. Paul often stays home on Thursdays because he watches the kids starting at 2:50 when I leave for work. Usually he stays in his office and does work until that point, but he's going to help out more this Thursday. I said since he did school work most of the vacation maybe he could take this Thursday as a "vacation" day.
