Competitive Spirit

You may be wondering what I have been up to in the last week since I haven't posted a blog. Well, I will tell you that in all, (well most) of my free time, I have taken up a new hobby. You see, I come form a pretty competitive family. Or I should say, my sister and I are competitive! :-) And when we want to beat each other at something, we will stay at it until we do it. We are always friendly and loving about it, but determined to beat the other person. So, after she introduced me to a computer game ( Mahjong Titans- for anyone interested) we went back and forth trying to see who could win the game the fastest. What's cool is, I got my husband into the competition! And now that I have blown them away with my unbeatable time, they have actually given up on me! So, now, what else am I to do, but blog?

Ok, now that I have patted myself on my own back, I will tell you that honestly, playing computer games is not what I do on a regular basis (although I really do have the fastest time! :-) )

Genevieve has completely amazed us with her potty training skills! She rarely, very rarely, has accidents! She gets so excited to go and has learned to take off and put back on her panties and pants all by herself. We really don't have to do much of anything except help her wash her hands when she his done going potty. Oh yes, and since she has learned to go pee-pee on the potty, she has decided that she has to go every 20 minutes. Seriously! And she does! That gets a bit exhausting! And the best part...she forgot that we used to give her chocolate every time she went, so she never asks for it anymore. This is cool because it means there is more for me! :-)

More cool Jenna news...she knows her ABC's! I don't know, maybe they are supposed to know them by now, but she sings it so well. She ALWAYS forgets the letter "J" and "TUV" but everything else is there precisely! And she says them very clearly, even the toughest "LMNOP" part!

Jocelyn has completely given up her morning nap which is actually very exciting for me. I don't feel like I have to be at my house from 9-11 everyday anymore. She stays in a fairly good mood too!

She has found a new toy. Our toilet. If we ever forget to close the bathroom door, she will be drenched from head to toe in seconds. So will the entire bathroom. Nice huh? Although we occasionally forget to shut the bathroom door...we ALWAYS remember to flush, so luckily, she is playing in clean water! :-)

Both of the girls love Zoe! This is good news since Sam and I don't always love Zoe. :-)
Actually, she is a very sweet, fun dog, but at 7 months, she is still a lot of puppy! And when I say a lot, I mean A LOT!! I don't know how much she weighs, but I would say she is nearing 100 pounds! She does better the more we walk/run her, but finding the time to do that isn't the easiest.

Hopefully next post will have more pictures and less chit-chat!
