MUSE

Extreme exhaustion from moving over the weekend didn't stop Scott and I from the amazing experience that is a MUSE concert. I thought I couldn't bring a camera (yes, I'm a dummy). So, I didn't take this picture.

Soccer

Ray had his first day of soccer. I think he liked it, although he may have just been excited about the juice pouch.

Potty Training Made Simple?

I know I'm asking for it, and I can feel doom lurking over my shoulder, just waiting for me to type these words, but...

Thomas has done an amazing job with potty training!

Maybe I've just had more reasonable expectations, but, honestly, it has been a few weeks since we began, and after the first few days, he has been accident free. That excludes nighttime, of course. Sometimes he still goes in his pull-up overnight, but sometimes he doesn't, so I think he's on his way.

I have developed a technique that appears to work pretty well, although I'm sure the American Association of Pediatrics would frown on it!

Keep up the good work, little T!

 

Thomas wants Ray....

It's A Girl! (So they say...)

We had our ultrasound today, and it was really amazing. The technology seems to have improved greatly over the past 5 years, and we were impressed by the clarity of the pictures.

Needless to say, I was in shock when they informed us it is a girl. We are so grateful that everything looked perfect!

You know you're raising you child to be the cool kid when....

Scott and I have tentatively moved on from over 5 years of playing FFXI (Final Fantasy Online - don't worry, it is just on hold), and have been trying out STO (Star Trek Online).

We were playing the other night, and Raymond was watching as we battled in space. I was probably complaining about not knowing what to do, and Raymond had some good advice.

"Use your phasers, Mommy!"

Not all reverence

Just in case you thought Raymond was all piety due to that last post, here is another recent comment.

We were at Red Mango, and a hip hop/pop version of "Here Comes Santa Claus" a la Destiny's Child came on over the speakers.

Ray: "A sexy way."
Me: "What??"
Ray: "A sexy way of singing Here Comes Santa Claus."
