Diaper Duty is Over!!!

Based on the title, most of you are cheering for me and waiting to congratulate me on getting all 3 of the girls potty trained. Not so much.... While I was busy putting together my introductory note (see below) Dayne and Tara were busy changing Dru's poopy diaper. I found this out when Dru came upstairs carrying her poop wrapped in a wet wipe! After having her deposit the package in the potty and scrub her hands (which were very clean, actually) I went downstairs to assess the damage. I'm pretty hardened to poop disasters, based on many recent "poop parties" aka "nap time", so I knew this mess wouldn't phase me. Just another day in the Uselding home. I was surprised to see that they actually did a pretty good job! They had taken the changing pad out from the cupboard and it was obvious that this is where they had changed her. They had thrown the dirty diaper in the garbage (good girls!) and used half a box of wipes for the job. Dru still needed me to clean her up a bit, but you could tell they had given a good go at it! So the girls are either a) ready to be potty trained b) type A neat freaks like their Papa, or c) terribly neglected by their mother and having to take care of their own business. I wonder what they're up to now while I'm posting this....

Hi everyone! I decided to check out "blogging" to see what it's all about, and decided that it'd be a great way for me to keep everyone up to date with what's going on in our family. It's never dull, and there always seems to be at least one funny story a day of one or more of the kids. Funny to us, that is. You can be the judge. It's also a good way to easily post pictures of the kids for those of you who are always asking, but never receiving (sorry!), current pictures. We're really starting to realize how quickly they are changing and growing up as we watch the girls and see that they're not "babies" anymore, and Cam is acting more like a "kid" than a "little boy". And Ty, I think, will always have a bit of little boy in him, even when he's grown. I wonder if he'll still want to snuggle with his mom when he's 30, though?

My mom's husband, Kenny, has set up a websight that he's been putting short videos of the kids on. I've added the link for that site to this webpage. He always comes over armed with his camera, so when we're unable to, or forget to, grab a camera he's often around to capture the moment for us.

Thanks for checking this out!
