Well, here we are -- half way through January already!  YIKES!  Resolutions?  Well, I'm still working on those!  Just sat down and did a rough schedule of daily activities (called it "goals" so as not to get discouraged when I don't meet the schedule -- like today!).  Today is going smoothly.  It's only 10:45 and I'm on my 2nd load of laundry.  We've had puzzle time today and the kids are watching "The Rescuers" on "Movie Time Monday".  KONOS is off to a start again after the holidays.  That is going well.  We're studying Crime and Punishment and the kids really seem to enjoy it.  I'm still plugging along with Caleb on his letters and their sounds.  Not pushing it too much -- regardless of what other 4-year-olds are doing.  The beauty of homeschool -- Caleb does NOT have to meet any standards by kindergarten.  Besides, because of his birthday (12-2-02), he technically wouldn't start kindergarten this fall any way.  It's hard, though, not getting wound up in "keeping up with the Joneses"!  We went to COSI on Saturday (saw the "Mystery of the Nile" movie -- awesome!) and I was so discouraged seeing all those Moms taking little ones to the potty -- I'm talking little girls that looked like they weren't even 2 yet.  Caleb just turned 4 and he's no where near potty trained (although we are concerned that he might have the same physical problem I had as a child).  Elizabeth will be 3 in May but because I'm focused on Caleb, I haven't even started with her.  Don't think I can do 2 at once.  Anyway, I decided to bite the bullet today.  Caleb is showing more and more signs of finally being ready.  He's in big boy pants today -- I discovered pull-ups were just a hinderance to both of us.  Still doesn't come tell me he has to go or is wet/dirty.  Maybe that will come in time?  I don't know -- I do know we're ready to be done with diapers with him. 

Any potty trainers out there experiencing what I'm experiencing?  Drop me a comment!
