The Dog, Ruth, Will, and Green Beans

We got rid of the dog. After trying to get rid of her a couple months ago, we reformed and gave it a good go. And we realized that we are not dog people. One day on Craigslist got her a really great home with a nice guy and and a new puppy pal. She was really happy and really like this guy so we feel like we did the best we could for her.

Things we would still have if we had never gotten the dog: 30 crayons, a teddy bear, sprinklers that were not dug up, a black leash, a pair of Ruth panties, a pair of Will's socks, a plastic mixing bowl, several binkies, building blocks without teeth marks and about $300.


Ruth "started" potty training today...I was not properly prepared because she HATES sitting on the normal toilet. I had her drink a ton of apple juice so she would have to pee a bunch and she just held it all morning. Around noon I put her diaper back on because she had been freaking out for an hour (because she had to pee and was holding it, I didn't know...don't judge). The second her diaper was on she filled it up. So I'm going to the store as soon as Brad gets home so I can get her a little training potty thing so she'll be more comfortable.

Will above has lighter eyes and his ears stick out more. Ruth below has the same eyebrows, chin, and hair-do.

Will LOVES food. He got the biggest smile on his face when he tasted green beans for the first time. I also love making baby food. I forgot how much I liked it. First of all it's cheaper than buying baby food, it doesn't take any effort (boil the veggies until they are WAY over-cooked then blend them up with the water you boiled them in and put in containers to freeze), and you can get your baby used to the seasonings and foods you eat as a family.
