A Day in Santa Barbara

Success!!!

After 2 1/2 grueling, dirty, smelly, and hopeful weeks Coen is wearing underwear. And he has pooped three times in the potty! No accidents for two days. Besides naptime and bedtime. I was just about ready to give up and then he got it.

Kickboard

Coen got his very own kickboard scooter today. The look on his face when we opened it and said it was his was priceless. He is the third child and does pretty good with hand me downs and sharing with the older two. But today he got his own kickboard and got to ride around with the other kids with their bikes and he was loving it.

Trouble

I keep having this feeling that Coen is going to give us the most trouble. He is defiant, stubborn, and curious. However, today I was fighting with him to let me brush his teeth and I was explaining that I was going to brush them first and then he could do it and instead of his usual whining he said "ok mom" I gave him a big kiss and brushed his teeth. Maybe there is some hope.
