Gatti Land

My kids had a day at the zoo planned with their Aunt Ginger and cousins and then we had this major storm come through and had to cancel. We went to Gatti Land instead and ate pizza then went on the rides. You see the morning rain from our front door, then Greta on a ride, then by the time we left the sun was shining and we had a ride on the train. The last photo is Jonas, Clara, and Austin on bumper cars.

Greta is potty trained!

After several months of half- hearted attempts by Mom to potty train Greta, I was kinda hoping she would pick it up on her own if I gave her the tools. Well, it wasn't working so well and my friend was about to start training her little girl who isn't even 2 until August, so I decided I would make up my mind just do it. The first 2 weeks were awful about 1/2 success and 1/2 messes which sounds better than it is. Then, she got it together and hasn't had a mess for a week! She is great on the going and doing, but we still are working on the finish. She comes out all excited and I have to be all excited about and then walk her thorough washing hands and getting dressed again. These photos are when Jonas was using the bathroom before she got her clothes back on and she decided to put his on instead of hers, pretty cute.

Clara's photography

Clara loves to take photos. Here are a few samples. She does get some interesting shots sometimes. She arranged her stuffed animals one afternoon in various poses alone and in a group shot. The second is her self-photo which I love.

Jonas' top tooth is gone!

We were at the park last week and Jonas was kneeded in the mouth by his friend which knocked his already loose front tooth even looser. After messing with it for 15 minutes and running around with blood dripping out of his mouth, it came out. His friend's were calling him vampire and shark as he chased them.
