sorry, judy!

Okay, I know it's been a while. We have been SO busy having fun, I haven't had time to write about it. We've been swimming at my mom's community pool (hers is way better than ours) and in the little one in our backyard. The boys aren't picky when it comes to playing in the water. Andy had his four-year check-up this week, and got FOUR shots. He was so sad! He kept screaming, "But I'm not sick!!!" Ugh! It is so hard to hold them down for that! We've been to the bookstore. Twice! I have read two whole books already this summer--I am so excited about getting to read grown-up books silently! Maybe we will start having D.E.A.R. time here at the house!

I am trying to convince Ben that using the potty is WAY better than going in his diaper, but he disagrees. That is pretty much bumming me out. I have been taking him about every 20 minutes to try, and nothing happens...until, like, the minute I put his pull-up back on, then he's all, "I teed in my underwear!" He says it very proudly, like it was what I wanted him to do all along. I really thought Ben would be a breeze, since he has Andy setting the example and all. Andy even goes at the same times as Ben, for moral support, I guess.

Last night, we went to see Kung Fu Panda. It was funny, and the boys loved it. They were so good. Andy's been to a couple other movies, but this was Ben's first. My favorite part of the night was when Ben sat on the edge of his seat and started belting out, "What time is it? Summertime! It's our vacation..." He loves that song (from HSM2). It was funny! He pretty much sings and talks all day long, even while lying in bed. He just talks/sings himself to sleep.

Okay, I promise to try to think about blogging more often. I don't want to disappoint my loyal following!
