A New Start

Once upon a time we started a blog for Kaija. It lasted exactly 2 months or so. I've been wanting to start a new one for a while now and I decided that today, my 29th birthday, will be the day. I'd like to say I'll update daily until my 30th birthday, but that's unlikely. But I do hope that it lasts more than 2 months!

Right now, Kolbie is sleeping peacefully on my chest. I don't dare move her because she's finally calm and out. We're comfortable, that's what matters! Kaija is running around wearing nothing but her p.j. shirt and slippers. We're potty training... and that really just means she pees on the couch daily. But she does also make it to her potty at least once a day as well. It's a work in progress! Currently she's taken her potty apart and reassembled it backwards to sit on it. If she pees on her potty at least once a day all week she will be getting a surprise at the end of the week. Dean is sleeping, he's only been home a few hours. When he gets up this afternoon we'll probably head to the park again. He works hard for his girls. We all appreciate everything he does!

As I said, it's my 29th birthday. There are no big plans for today but I can't wait for Dean and Kaija to make my giant cookie covered in chocolate frosting and sprinkles! (Kaija tells me she'll be using red sprinkles...) Is that going to be good for us? Not a chance. But will it be fun? You bet!!
