Summer

Wow, where is the time going?  Michael and Austin finished Grades 4 and 6, Dylan finished playschool and we're well into summer now!  We're dogsitting a Labradoodle right now and it's confirming that I'm a small dog lover ;)  She's really a very sweet dog but our house is already full and an extra animal seems like a lot now!  I'm also watching a couple extra kids this summer which makes things a little more busy but we're having a lot of fun.  You know what's not fun?  Potty training a kid who won't poop in the toilet.  The only thing we've had any success with (and it hasn't been many days so I could be jinxing it) is letting him be naked from the waist down until he poops that day.  He hates it but he really didn't care if he was wearing a diaper or underwear!  Ahhh, the joys of parenthood ;) 

I'm not sure how this is possible, but my oldest "baby" is turning 12 tomorrow.  I'm so proud of the person he is today.  I just don't know where the time went.  <3
