Ack. I really need to keep better track of this blog. I was such a spaz about keeping Noah's blog updated with every single new milestone but now I find it hard to find a quiet moment to reflect, log on then write in coherent sentences. Anytime I get anywhere near the computer the kids are on me. Noah wants to play on Club Penguin or Lego dot com and Remi wants to see pictures of "online" or watch Alvin or Charlie Brown.

Yesterday we finally bought Remi a potty. She was so excited. We also bought her some pull ups. My mom had been NAGGING me for MONTHS to hurry up and start potty training her but I knew we needed to wait for a more settled time. We had so many events during the holidays and we've been so busy until now. I remember being so stressed about potty training Noah. We had the charts and rewards and everything. Thankfully it went rather smoothly. I wanted to take a laid back approach to Remi. I notice that she was telling us when she pooped but not when she peed so I wasn't quite sure if she was ready. But she surprised us all when we got home, we opened the potty and she peed in it just a few minutes later! We peed probably 4-5 more times the rest of the night. I guess she likes to surprise us. hahaha.

Other memorable Remi facts (age 26 months)

• Has finally started saying "Noah" instead of "woah wuh" but doesn't do it all the time. She'll also look at me coyly and call me "yooni."

• Will sometimes refuse to kiss you but if you act sad, she'll come back and say, "ok" and kiss you then try to make you smile.

• Takes one daily nap around 2pm. Most days she naps in the car on the way to picking Noah up from school. Almost like clockwork she is asleep by 2:20pm. I usually have a coffee and paper and read in the parked car. It's a pretty nice routine!
