In family news, the girls just had their first Softball game. They both did amazing! Both of them got on Base multiple times, and made runs! That's definitely not my skill they are inheriting. I may have gotten on base once in my entire life, and that includes times when I was pretending to play when I was 5. Either way, great job Girls!
-In Konner news, defecation came again to the young man, and he handled it with grace. Well played, young sir.

Drawing by a 5 year old. The details he captures, while at the same time keeping it simple...brilliant.

My son is now at potty training stage. This is good, since it's only taken about 3 and a half years to get here. Potty training is a funny thing. It's something you can't control. I can "make" my kids take out the garbage. I can "make" my kids make thier beds. But no matter how hard you try, you can't "make" someone go to the bathroom. In fact, "making" it go is directly in opposition to how we go in the first place.
Now, my son is a classic control freak. He wants to be in control of the remote, he wants to drive the car (I don't usually let him). He wants the power. I'm a little worried about meglomania, but for now I'm worring strictly about the potty stuff. I think he's never going to be potty trained. He's going to go off to college, pack up and say "did you remember to pack my potty seat?" Lord help me.
