So far that’s all I’ve thought of. Which means I need to find a program for him. I’ve seen 2 different summer day camps that he can possibly do. Don’t know if he’ll be too shy about it b/c he won’t know anyone, but they look super cool. And then there’s always the tutoring camps. And then there’s the matter of getting him some workbooks too. We tried it last summer and it didn’t fair too well with him, he was all about it in the beginning, of course, and then he just slacked off. But I already know what I’m going to hold over him, his Nintendo DS (which has been my hostage for the past month, not b/c I want it I have my own, but b/c he’s been acting out) and the cartoon watching. He got morning television yanked from him as well, big mister did that one, for doing something out of character at school and getting a note sent home *gasp* Yeah I know!!!! He was the one that actually said he wanted to bring the DVDs and said he would do them in the morning. Good boy!
Lilmiss has continuous back and forth with the potty training. She does sit on the potty everyday @ every chance she can possibly get, but it’s hard when we’re out or we’re at someone else’s house and they don’t have a potty insert so she doesn’t fall in. When she wakes up, she sits. When she’s brushin her teeth, she sits. Before we leave the house, she sits. When she asks to sit, she sits. When I catch her midpoop, she sits. One day, while we were homebound, she sat every hour. It worked pretty good up until her brother came home and was in there when she should have been. Sometimes she wakes up completely dry in the morning after a long night’s sleep. But I don’t think she has control just yet. As in, she can hold it and then tell me she wants to go and we go. Nope. So with the busy schedule I’ve been holding lately, I’m just going to hold off til we get there. It shouldn’t be as hectic, I hope. So I need to remember to bring the pink bag of panties.
I’ve been working on songs, numbers, and ABCs with her too. Her songs are the funniest/ cutest things ever b/c of course she leaves words out. Her favorites right now are *Twinkle, Twinkle* and *Wheels on the Bus*. Oh yeah and the theme song on *Wonder Pets*. I’m working on the 1 to 10 and it’s going pretty well, it works when we go up and down stairs. The letters are different though, she doesn’t care too much for them. She’s only got ABC down. Heh.
ETA: I found my keys. They fell into the washing machine with a load of whites and did the full cycle. Heh. Luckily for me it didn’t short the door locker thinger for the car.

Scored these lovely sandals on sale. AACK, they’re so cute. My shoe wardrobe, not to mention my whole wardrobe, needs some serious work. I wear the same ish ALL THE TIME. If I could my feet would permanently be adorned in flip flops, which BTW I scored on some red and white Havaianas for $9 the other day. So cute.
So I’ve been trying to finish this set since I came home and I’m having a hard time. Certainly NOT the comedies I’m used to. This one might have to go up on Ebay or something b/c I’m just not feeling it. And it got so highly rated on one of the forums. I have 2 other series waiting to be opened and I’m just going to hold off on the one that I was watching with my mom. I’ll just continue it once we’re back in Hawaii, or on the plane. I told her I would wait for her. And then there’s my niece who’s anxiously waiting in the wings for me to pass something on for her to watch. Oh yeah and there’s the queue on the online rental thing that has about 3 dramedies waiting. Funny I’m not so much into anything on TV as of late. All the big shows that I was into before my hiatus are in finales this week and I have so much to catch up on. So much tv, so little time. Lol.
