My twin

Grandchild #7

At Christmas I found out my twin sister is pregnant...three and a half months along! I think she's almost far enough along that she can find out what she's having. I'm really excited for her! They already have a girl, 6; and a boy, that will be five in February.

Can't Take The Poop Anymore

From the title of this post, you can decide if you would like to keep reading. :)

In the middle of December Monty got shoulder surgery. He has been in a sling ever since and has very limited use of his arm. Well for about the last three weeks Jaida has decided that she no longer wants to go number two in the toilet. She would much rather go in her pants. Ahh! Talk about frustrating! Not only do I have to change ALL of Kayla's diaper messes, but I for the last few weeks have also been cleaning up pretty much all of Jaida's messes too. Luckily she wouldn't do one huge thing, but it would be about three small ones a day. Looking back I really think she liked us getting mad at her and her getting in trouble for it. Monty took away everysingle one of her toys and locked them in the toy room. He also would not allow her to watch any movies. He bought her a cute little Dora umbrella and we made her a chart that she could put stickers on. Five stickers, which means pooping in the toilet five times and she got the umbrella. Well, she acted like she could care less about the toys, the movies and the umbrella! So what do you do after that? I have no idea. After talking with my mom I decided that I would just ignore it, and whatever happended, happened and I would not make a big deal out of it. Well low and behold...two days later she went in the toilet. Hopefully she will keep it up, but I'll let you know if she doesn't. :)
