Adora the unstoppable

Adora had a big day Saturday. I tried the potty training in a day method, but didn't get the full day without distractions, and though she has some trouble getting her pants pulled back up, she is doing very well. She tells me when she has to go if she needs help. I'm impressed for a 20 month old. She also learned to roller skate Saturday night. She only fell down once when she got excited over seeing grandma. She was willing to learn, started slow and improved in one night. She was having so much fun. She would look up at me and giggle as we skated together. She wanted to go out into the rink again and again. If only my back didn't ache from holding hands with a toddler, I think we would have kept skating non-stop. Sabian had fun too, but he never really tried. He didn't move his feet so much as letting us drag him, or he'd jump so we are suspending him. This method may have been fun when he had help, but when we left the rink, he'd try to go it on his own and biffed it several times. He had to take off his skates. Naomi was a railing dweller. She went around and around while holding onto the outside rail. She occasionally came out with us, but wasn't as happy about it. She learned to hold a pose while I pulled her around. We all had fun and got a good workout. Speaking of a workout, Andy has been going to the gym for 2-3 hours a day this last week. I think he is addicted. Just look at him.

Okay, so the photo isn't him. But he really is working out 2-3 hours each day. He signed up for the warrior leader training for the national guard so he could get promoted to a sargent and make more money. He wants to be sure he'll pass his fitness test. Hey, whatever motivates you, it's all good. :)
