Can we change the subject, Mom?

We are in the process of potty training Sterling. I have been letting him just be in cloth training pants. When I was in the kitchen making dinner, Sterling comes out and says, "Dry." I look at his pants and it is obvious that he is wet and not dry. I say,"Sterling! You are wet. Where are your pee-pees supposed to go? In the potty, Sterling. You need to go pee in your potty." He looks up at me and says, "Hug." Then he wraps his little arms around my leg. Either he was sorry for wetting his pants, or he wanted me to change the subject to something nicer--like hugs!

How many kids can you put in one hotel room before you get kicked out?

Well, we have been back home for nearly a week, and we miss all our family in MN so much! We had such a great time. We had fun swimming and fishing in Grandma and Papa Ron's lake. We had fun taming the wild kittens and swimming at Pelican beach with Grandma and Papa Barry. It was great to see the new nieces and nephews we hadn't met before. We had Henry, Logan, Tolo, and Naomi to meet. They were all very special. We miss you all!
