Kids of EB

Two little boys. The poor wife is outnumbered 4 to 1 (including the cat).

Congrats, MS! Boys are the best...

Diapers have gone up huge this past year.

I just found out we have another one on the way, so I hope we get #1 potty trained soon. He's 2.5 and shows little interest in trying. He uses the ptty very seldom. What age do boys usually get weened from diapers?

They probably won't let him into kindergarten without being potty-trained.

Congrats, MS!

Mini-Buff has been skiing at least 2 times a week (in ski school) since December. She hasn't wanted to go out after ski school to show us what she has learned, until last week. There is a mini-park for kids (small jumps, a mini-half-pipe, etc) that all the kids go through. I was blown away by her skiing ability, then I saw her through the pipe and jumps. HFS! She almost got air out of the 12' high walls of the pipe, carving turns the whole way. And she caught air on her jumps! And she's only 4!

Yeah minibuff. When did you start her on skis?

 

[FLBuff PE]

On her second birthday in February, 2010. She is already on her third season on skis.

Well, mini-MS #2 came into this world EARLY Monday morning. 2:15 AM to be exact. He can poo and pee with the best of them.

Many congrats man! I will eat lamb kabobs in his honor.

 

[Master slacker]

Thanks, everyone. The little one is doing very well and has gained weight in the days since birth. Dude is a non-stop eating and pooping machine.

Oh... the green-eyed monster has also come about. That's not so much fun.

MiniMS#1 not likeing not being the center of attention anymore eh. When visiting friends/family for baby #2, I always get the older sibling a little gift too and I always visit with them first then the baby

MiniDex lost his first tooth last night, and you can already see the adult tooth coming in. He already has a 2nd tooth loose now too (both are bottom front teeth).

 

[envirotex]

Cool. What's the going rate for the Tooth Fairy at the Dex-House?

 

[Dexman PE PMP]

$0.25. And of course he was pissed because one of his friends gets a new toy for each tooth...

I know that they aren't really kids, but they are my kids... so I thought I would post this here... I was really proud of Ana, Rex, PJ and Rizzo this weekend. Having a house guest is stressful enough for people, but my animals are trained to NOT let people in the house and it's extra stressful for Ana who is trained to attack any stranger who comes through the door. I have made an effort to expose all of the animals to friendly people (at least those that I know aren't scared of them and won't sue me if they bite) recently so they can relearn my reactions and emotions and having someone stay for 4 days was pretty cool because, the college roomie that visited even took the dogs out a few times for me and eventually the cats warmed up to her. The only one who had a real difficult time was Rex, but I think that is because the roomie was moving furniture on me and changing things and Rex doesn't handle change too well, and it's already been a stressful year for him...

Like I said, I know they aren't real kids... but I was really really proud of them. I think the next step is to get someone they are semi-familiar with to get them to follow a few commands and give them a treat.

(okay, this will probably be my one and only contribution to this thread... EVER!)

Well, mini-kevo is now crawling.

Time to start baby proofing everything.

 

[FLBuff PE]

Congrats on this new mode of transport for mini-kevo!

 

[kevo_55]

^^ Thanks!

.... I think...

 

[snickerd3]

is she a true crawler or a scoocher?
