OMG (Oh My God)!!!

Breaking news in the Szczekocki family: Dayton finally used the potty last night before bath. It took 10 minutes of me playing a game with him and reminding frequently to "try and potty" as well as peeling Saige off of the toilet bowl several times to give him some space to do his business. Finally, he turned himself sideways on the seat and had a small pee (and I mean small)! He was so proud of himself...of course I made a huge deal out of it and so did daddy. Got my fingers crossed that he'll do it again tonight.

A Rare Family Photo...Well Kind Of

First off, it is so difficult to get both kids to sit still long enough to focus the camera nevermind sit together! Secondly, since I don't have a tri-pod yet, I can never get myself into the picture. One of these days I'll get it figured out.

Siblings Caught In The Act

...caught in the act of actually playing together! While having two children can at times be challenging, I'm finding now more than ever, that it is so rewarding. Dayton and Saige have really started to bond and play together. It is so sweet and funny to see them interact. Saige definitely looks up to her brother and is picking up new things from him so quickly (of course this could be a bad thing). She likes to mimic his noises and copy things he does (like dance). Dayton also likes to copy his sister (and this IS a bad thing) and I haven't quite figured out how to tell him that it's not okay for him to do certain things when it is okay for Saige to do them. For instance, Saige likes to blow raspberries when she's eating....not so cool when Dayton does it. Or, Saige likes to grab at faces (nose, eyes, hair, ears)...again, not so cool when Dayton pokes your eye out and then laughs.

Some Animals I've Met Along The Way

I've been meaning to post pictures of all of the different "wildlife" I've come across when I've been out on little adventures. Some have been unexpected to say the least...one doesn't really expect to see chickens and roosters living on the beach for instance...even less expected is to see one lay an egg (thank you to Sandy & Brandon for capturing the egg-laying).
