No More Dirty Diapers!

I am so proud of Jake. Jake just turned 2 and has been using the potty on his own. This is really exciting for me because boys are so much harder to potty train than girls. In fact many of my 3 and 4 year old boys who come to my daycare are still in diapers. The doctor told me to not even try until he turns 3 but I decided that it couldn't hurt. While having my daycare I have found out what works and what doesn't. Actually while I was typing this he started to cry and I found him outside with poop on his shoe. I just started about 5 days ago so I am sure their are going to be more accidents.

Aiden is still crawling and moving all over the place. He will finally take a bottle which makes me so happy. He has also been pulling on my heart strings at night so I am back where I started. I really need to start using some tough love.

Jacobish and HFMD

Sorry it has been so long since I have updated my blog. I will try to keep everybody up to date on what is new with us. Jacob has really started to talk in his special language we call Jacobish. He loves to jiberjaber in sentences. He has made his own words for certain items. For example his little toy truck and trailer is call "isis a swars". War War - water, Mom and dad is still called Teresa. Banana-nana, Apple-bable. He has said Aiden but only once. He also loves it when I push Aiden on the toy tractor and chase him. Aiden likes it too but not as much as Jake.

I think that Aiden got hand foot mouth disease from a kid in my daycare. He had some blisters on his but and I just thought it was from a diaper rash. One of the moms called me and said her son had it and it is very contagious. Latter that day one of the babies I watch broke out in blisters on his legs. So by time I found out it was to late and everyone in my daycare had been exposed to it. The symptoms are diarrhea, vomiting, fever, blisters on hands, butt, feet, mouth. Jake had the diarrhea and one night of vomiting but no blisters thank goodness. Their is no treatment. We have just had to wait it out. None of the older kids in my daycare got it just the little ones. So I am glad that this is almost over.

owners had but they did such a terrible job I really wanted to fix it. So I have been I am in the process of painting the inside of my house. I really liked the color the previousmuding small holes, dents, and all the imperfections that are in the drywall. I have also had to scrape paint off the kitchen cabinets. Yes they didn't bother to put up tape so it got all over the cabinets, the light fixtures, light switches you name it. Also their are places that they didn't paint that they should of. It is really frustrating that they did such a crappy job. So I bought some pant to match the previous color and the color is the same but the gloss is different, so it looks like I will be painting the entire upstairs. It is taking me forever. I only can do it when my daycare kids are sleeping or after they go home. Also I have been trying to clean our carpets. Vaylene has lent me her carpet cleaner and it has been so nice. It is amazing how much dirt it can pull up.
