Stinkers on the stairs

These 5 little stinkers had a great time playing and goofing off a couple of weeks ago. Rach and Juj always have a great time doing their own thing--we hardly see them--playing in Rachel's room or playing school upstairs. The boys mostly play with Alex's favorite- CARS- and run around being silly. Bradley plays some with the boys and some with the girls (when they allow it)-while Trenty is so excited to see Alex (Aex) and Juj (joo-joo) that he can hardly contain his joy.

Pirate's Practice

soft-toss batting practice

Rachel has been enjoying practicing ball too. She's on the Pirates and her colors are yellow and black. We're excited to see her in action tomorrow!

A little bit of P-T

We are unofficially, casually, doing a little bit of potty-training. We are only doing this because Trent has shown an extreme intrest in sitting on the potty. He loves his Elmo seat and can make himself go pee pee when he sits on the potty. So, before bathtime, we let Trent sit on the potty and he pee pees (most of the time) and then we clap and make a big deal. Then he flushes the potty and that's it. I would love it if he learns how to use the potty sooner than Rachel or Bradley did, but we will see.

Practicing to play!

Well, the first game is tomorrow (weather permitting) and we're all very excited! Bradley's on the Indians and his colors are blue and red. He looks mighty cute in his uniform and we can't wait to see him in action.
