Summer Fun!

I would love to tell you that we have filled our summer with lots of different fun; however because of the heat and pregnancy we have spent our time in our baby pool or the neighbors wonderful pool. Not that I am complaining but it doesnt make me look too creative. I cannot believe how hot this summer has been and it is only June! Pretty crazy! Bekah hated swimming at first. She just cried and stood next to the pool. Now we cannot get the girl to go home! Every couple hours she brings me the pool bag and goes to the back door to go swimming. That is all the girl wants to do besides playdoh! She is crazy! She has found that it is so much fun to jump in off of the steps. She is becoming more and more brave! More brave than Ryan at times. Ryan can actually swim with her floaties on by herself whereas Bek cannot. But Ryan doesnt enjoy jumping in like Bekah only because she has gone completely under two different times which really scared her. Ryan's big 3rd bday is coming in one week! July 5th! We were planning her party for that day but at last minute Scott's cousin scheduled his wedding for July 4th in Conneaut OH! We were wanting to go there and see Lake Erie with the girls and the farm this summer anyway, so we decided to go ahead and reschedule her party and go on vacation! We are excited for our trip to see family and swim a lot more! Plus 5 full days with daddy! Our house is coming right along! We have the new rooms drywalled, our family room is drywalled and opened up to one big room now. It feels huge but will be so nice to have the extra space. The girls already love having more room to play. We have also just about finished the siding! Hopefully this project will be done soon! This weekend is the greenwood parade and fireworks so we should have lots of fun with that!
Bekah is going through a rough phase right now with the temper tantrums! She turned 18 months old and the switch flipped. We know this too shall pass but for now I feel like I may go crazy if I have to hear her whine or scream one more time for no reason! She is also on the cereal stage. All the girl wants to eat at every meal or snack is cereal! Granted it is healthy cereal but she still needs variety and has to learn she cant always have what she wants. So after a 5 min fit at the table she gives in and eats her food! Good times!
Ryan on the other hand is turning 3 and flipped a switch too just a different one! The girl still will not poo in the potty! It infuriates me at times! Sometimes I dont even know why it bothers me so much besides the fact I have to clean it out of her panties and off her legs and sometimes the carpet! We have tried everything we have heard of and it just doesnt matter to her. She would just rather go in her panties. She does pretty well with peeing but just not with poo! I figure that she wont do it until Bek does and to be honest after this last year with Ryan I have no desire to train her ever!! Maybe when she turns 4! I hate potty training! I especially hate when my friends kiddos arent as defiant as Ryan and they think it is so easy! Such is life!
Well Im off to have some more fun this summer! Talk at ya later!
