Horsies in the summer

Horse riding in the summer is much more fun for the rider (and viewer!).  The class is outside in the fresh air and no one stinks when they come home. 

Video Game Design camp

Paige had an awesome time at Video Game Design Camp at Appleby college.  She made her own spectacular game, which was mind-blowing.  She really learned a ton and is super comfortable with computers.  She wants to go again next summer. A great thing about the camp was that they fed her lunch too! A great treat for me in the summer!

Potty Training 3.0

Well that wasn't so bad!!!

Henry may possibly be our earliest poetry trained child! He started wearing his undies full time at the beginning of july.  26 months old.  The girls were early too, but he may have been a bit earlier.  Plus, as he was a boy,  I expected so much later.  Everyone always said that boys potty train so late.  I had visions of him starting school and not being potty trained. Or even worse--going on next summers Disney Cruise un-potty trained. Gasp! 

I followed the same routine as I did for the girls and it just clicked.  He has been trained for about a month now and has had 1 accident in 3 weeks.  Unlike the girls, however, he still wears a diaper at night.  He can't make it that long, and even if he goes in the middle of the night he still pees again by morning.  I don't think his little bladder is mature enough for that.  But as for holding it and going during the day he's doing awesome.  The other amazing thing is that he goes at the mall, grocery store, and any other public washroom.  Even in the car on the way up to the cottage he will ask to go and hold it until the next stop.  He seems way too little, but he's got the hang of it!

After he finished his first potty chart I gave him a Thomas train--"Henry".
