Sven's First Birthday

It has been one wonderful year since Sven first came to our family. This is what we did to celebrate:

1. I sang the "Happy, Happy Birthday" song to him all day long.

2. He had a strawberry smoothie with cheerios for breakfast. What could be better than that?

3. Maybe the very sweet pancakes we made in Kindergarten, which Sven enjoyed immensely.

4. I dug out my bin of 12 month clothing and put Sven in a new outfit. I was looking for the onesie from Carl's first birthday but I couldn't find it. Which is ok, because Sven got one of his own later.

5. We went to McDonald's for lunch with our neighbors. Carl and Sven played I-drop-it-you-pick-it-up with the happy meal toy for quite a while.

6. I tried to get a picture of my three boys all together but they were too wiggly.

7. Sven's Nan sent him an amazon gift card so I enjoyed browsing for board books during his nap.

8. I made chocolate cupcakes with cream cheese frosting. Sven's cupcake didn't have much frosting but he still loved it. Scott made a video of the happy event.

9. Scott opened Sven's presents and Sven played with the wrapping paper. My favorite thing that he got: new shoes! He also got a birthday shirt which we changed him into straight away. He looks so big!

Happy Birthday, Pumpkin!

Our Potty Training Journey

February 2010 GOAL: My initial goal was to introduce Soren to the toilet and make it a fun place to sit. I have to admit that I also hoped that we would have some fortunate "accidents" that would lead to potty training success. STRATEGY: My plan was to sit Soren on the toilet once a day and read him a couple of stories. If he peed, I was planning to give him a candy. THE BAD NEWS: The candy totally backfired. The one time that he peed on the toilet, I gave him a candy and he had a full-on tantrum begging for more. If I ever told him "When you pee on the potty, you can have a candy", he would begin screaming for the treat and be unable to focus on the toilet training. THE GOOD NEWS: Soren was not afraid of sitting on the big toilet. He actually really enjoyed it (when I was reading stories and not pimping rewards) and started asking to sit there any time his butt was bare. J June 2010 GOAL: My goal was to potty train S...

February 10 - 16

* I thoroughly enjoyed reading Skyward. * Soren beat Megaman 1 without dying. * Carl was swamped with art homework. His teacher assigned him 5 mini-paintings, 30 gradients, and 1 shading. * Sven finished reading the Frog and Toad treasury. * Leif talked a lot about wanting to make a friend. * Richard got to listen to lots and lots of read-a-louds.

What Works for Us: Room Time

I've decided to do a new series of posts on how I make parenting work for us. Every parent does it differently--which is great!--but I have a hard time keeping my discoveries to myself. The things I do may not work for anyone else but I want to record them and remember them. Hopefully, it will also help me vent my soap-box-y-ness so that I'm not always imposing my ideas on other people. That will be what "What-Works-for-Us Posts" are about. One of the things that we have always done, but has made a HUGE difference in the move from one to two children, is Room Time . When Soren was 6 months old, I started having him play alone (in a safe place) every day for a few minutes. At first it was only five minutes in the port-a-crib but we quickly worked up to fifteen, then thirty. At that time, I used those precious minutes to do housework or relax on the couch. When I was pregnant with Carl, Soren would play alone for about an hour in his room and I would usually tak...
