What's new?

Here's what's new with Ollie
After much drooling, the day is finally here! Ollie got his first tooth!!!
Look closely to see Ollie's tiny white speck. Isn't it adorable?
A strange new expression to go along with his new pearly white

It is all too confusing!
God made us so weird--teeth coming in and falling out...
What's new with Calvin
Calvin has been working hard all day potty-training. He had an accident, so John put him on the potty to finish, but it was too late. Calvin then cried his eyes out when John did not give him a treat:( At dinner, Finn requested to take Calvin potty. He grabbed Calvin's hand and ushered him to the potty saying "I know where the bathroom is around here".

I wish it were this easy. But, I don't think Calvin is ready yet. Or maybe I'm just not ready yet to deal with accidents while feeding Ollie.

What's new with Finn
I think Finn is learning to spell:
water or milk anyone?

This is a tag Finn made for Calvin's cat:
notice how he spells "Catt"
Maybe there are two t's because Finn has two n's??

And then tonight he was sounding out the "wuh, wuh" for the w in Owwie(he cannot pronounce his L's in Ollie).

Oh,this whole spelling thing is going to be funny.

    And what a handsome tooth Ollie has-I think I need a magnifying glass to see it though!

  4. I thought this learning/spelling/reading stage was one of my favorites until Ella wrote, "My mommy and daddy r rguin ubowt suding I don no wut," (translation: My mommy and Daddy are arguing about something I don't know what.) Mommy and Daddy then had to explain we weren't really arguing, just not agreeing (I promise, it was not even a real argument). Who knows what the girl is saying and spelling at school!
