A New Journey

We are embarking on yet another new adventure. This weekend we bought all the items needed to switch our boys (and any future kids we may have) to cloth diapers! It's quite the investment to start, but with in 6 months they will pay for themselves. I know what you may be thinking. "But your boys are 3 and 2 isn't it a little late to start cloth diapers?" Well thus far Truitt has not been interested in going potty in the toilet. I asked him why and he said he just didn't want to. I had done some reading that kids in cloth diapers tend to potty train faster, because they can feel the wet against their skin. Aaron and I talked and we thought that it might help him to make that connection of I felt this, and then I peed and now I'm wet, so when I feel this I must need to pee. It's only day 2 and Truitt has been really good so far about telling us when he feels wet. But enough about that on to other updates:
Truitt had his 3rd birthday! We gave him a Spiderman party. He had SO much fun. It was great to see his eyes light up when he saw the balloons and Spiderman cake!
Ephraim is almost 22 months. It seems like he learns a new word everyday. He is really into Curious George and Bob the Builder lately. We got the newer Curious George move from Netflix a couple weeks ago, and I had more fun watching him than the movie. He was g-l-u-e-d!
Aaron just finished Calculus 2. He said it was pretty hard, but he really enjoyed it.
I'm working hard at Starbucks and trying to get the house more organized. Making small updates to the little things around the house, makes a big difference.
I'll keep you all updated on how the cloth diaper thing goes.
