Ready for potty trainning

Another reason why I have not been blogging lately, besides my new passtime of reading twilight, it's due to my computer being infested with viruses. I can not type more than half a minute when something comes popping up on my screen and I HATE IT! So I have stayed away from the computer almost completely until my husband fixes it. Isn't it ironic, he fixes bugs for a living and it's been about 2 weeks or more since my computer was stricken by this virus and until this day it still goes unfixed! - I love you honey! :)

But something happened today that just can't go without blogging about.

I think Jocie is ready to start potty training! I have heard that after the first child the ones to follow are pretty easy. Today I found out that it might be true, to my relief.

Jocie woke up from her nap this morning and the first thing she said to me was "po-po" or poo-poo, I did not take it seriously, since she often seats at Naomi's potty just for pretends, diaper on and everything, so I told her to go while I did something in the kitchen- I started sitting her on potty pretty early on, thinking that it would work to my advantage some time in the future, what I did not know was how early that future might be- a couple of minutes later she was standing next to me with a red face and grunting, the I'm doing a poo-poo type of face, "mmm..." I thought. Could it be? I asked her "Do you need to go poo" and she nodded yes and we quickly headed to the restroom. I pulled her diaper off, but she had already gone in her diaper. I sat her down anyway, and waited to see if she still needed to go some more. She stayed sitting down for a couple of minutes, but she was done. She did not want to get up after that, she would throw my hands off of her if I tried to help her up. The only way she agreed to get up was after I asked "Te limpio la colita?"-" Can I clean your bum-bum?" Then she nodded yes and got up to rest her chest across my lap, just like big sister does while I clean her bum-bum, all on her own. I guess she knows the routine after seeing it time after time. We clapped and danced and cheered anyway, just as if she had really gone, and she looked so happy and proud of herself.
I had just put away a bag of training pants that Naomi did not use, and it seems that I will have to go hunting for it in my garage (the scariest place on earth) and get them to work right away. We'll see how it goes. I hope I'm not speaking to soon and jinx Jocie's potty training. We will keep you all informed!

Reading Twilight

I have been away in a land of vampires and werewolves all week long, hence my absence from the blogging world. Yep, I have fallen in love with the Twilight series. It all started with the movie everyone seemed to be talking about, I finally caved in and went to see it as soon as I got the chance, and an accomplice to back me up, Aaron would not have watched any other way, ( thanks Julieta and Skyler!)

I knew there was more to the story and I just wanted to know. I thought would have it the easy way and ask my youngest sister, Itza, the book aficionado in our family, to tell me what happens, she wouldn't budget, but happily offered to let m barrow the book (New Moon) I have never, ever, read a book (a novel), or even come close to have the desire to do so, but somehow I just devoured this one in less than one week, I just could not put it down and used every spare minute I had towards reading it. I just got started with "Eclipse" last night, but I have decided to take it slow, I do not want to run out of twilight books to read too soon.

Two nights ago Aaron came home from school after the girls had gone to bed and didn't get to see them. The next morning he had to leave the house earlier than usual and again did not get to see the girls. But Naomi woke up excited to see daddy and ran into our room to wake him up, only he wasn't there anymore. So she asked:

Naomi: Where's daddy?
Mami: He had to go to school early to take a test
Naomi: Oh. I'm hungry. I want some banana bread!
(mami and babies walk over to the kitchen)
Mami: It's all gone. I think daddy ate it.
Naomi: It's ok, we can make some more.
...and we did.

Later that night Aaron came home and both girls were now in bed. He walked straight in there to say Hi to his already sleeping babies. Naomi must have been waiting for him because she was right awake. He kneeled next to her bed and gave her kisses, then had a little nice converstation which started some what like this:

"Daddy, why did you eat all the banana bread?" It was important for her to know. She then told him all about our day, the bread that we baked, our trip to the park, the books we read and Aaron a very tired daddy, sat there and listened. I have a feeling it was his favorite part of his last couple of days.

Sometimes, when Aaron goes to school right after work, and ends up spending all day away from home, we like to go visit buelito y buelita, so that our day doesn't get to be as long. Buelita will cook for us and spoil us and the girls have lots hands and eyes to watch over them.

This is what we like to do over at buelita and buelito's:

Jump on the trampoline, no matter how dark or how cold it is outside.

Tortillas!
(I made these myself, with my mom's supervision)


watch Disney Movies.

get lots of huggs from tio Mickey!

run around the house with this very noisy toy.

Give Nakon lots of huggs!

It's always fun to go to buelita y buelito's, but seeing them is our favorite part!

Animal sounds

Jocie is now saying a few words and sounds, among them are some of her animal sounds. She can go like a cow, like a sheep, like a dog, like a fish, like a horse in spanish, yes, even horses speak different in spanish.

I didn't get her to do all of them in here, before she walked away, but here are a couple of them.

I will try to get her to do the rest later.

Jocie's skills with the fork

I've been wanting to post this so you too would be impress by Jocie's skills.

Check out my baby using the fork like the pros.

Funny things Naomi said today

This little girl is just too sweet and funny. Don't believe me? I'll prove it to you:

Funny thing Naomi said today:

Today we were playing on the floor with her baby doll. Out of the blue she says:

Naomi: "Mommy, today I will have boobies"
Mami: What? You will have what?
Naomi: Boobies on my belly (lifts up shirt), for my baby (puts baby doll under shirt)
Mami: Really?????

Sweet thing Naomi said today:

Bath time came along, and as the big girl she is, I asked her to take her clothes off to get ready to get in the water, while mami helped Jocie. She pulled both arms through the neck opening of the shirt trying to slip it off through her torso instead of up through her head, her brand new shirt that she had just worn today! I freaked out thinking that she was going to stretch it out and ruin it, and told her to stop, actually yell at her to stop. She looked at me and said:

Naomi: Mami, I like you when you are happy.
Mami: (realized what a dork she had been over something so stupid) I know, I'm sorry. I love you!
Naomi: I love you too mami.

Isn't she adorable?
