Odd, I know. Of course, NPH is the first famous boy I ever had naughty dreams about in my life. I adored Doogie Howser M.D. when I was in my early teens, and had a raging crush on NPH then. Dr. Horrible has just reminded me of how much I adore him, I guess.
Anyways, back to the real world. We took the girls to Buffalo Days, Regina's annual summer fair. It went far better than we expected for many reasons, one of the largest being the fact that we showed up Sunday morning when they don't charge admission. Yay! That was twenty dollars in our pockets. The girls were amazingly well behaved, Mary had a blast and was absolutely fearless on the rides, and us adults enjoyed ourselves too.
Ian has a lot of time off right now, the long weekend has worked out nicely with his summer schedule. We have thrown caution to the wind and put Mary into real panties now, no more diapers and pull ups. So far we have had no luck whatsoever, and lots of messes. She still refuses to use the toilet, and while I hate to sound like a broken record here, I'm at my wits end. Nothing at all has worked, we've tried every suggestion in the book. Now I guess all we can do is be consistent, keep at her and try my hardest not to loose my temper.
Other than that, not much is going on. Today I made hamburger buns, my first attempt at buns, and they turned out perfectly. Tomorrow we are cleaning house, and possibly going to the swimming pool. Next week I'm going to try to convince Ian that we should go to Craven and buy some farm fresh veggies.

heh. my sister is having the same problem with her 3 year old. He's standing there in a puddle and she asks him "did you pee?" and he says "NO!" very clearly. not interested in being potty trained.
shudder. kids.
Strength. I wish I could say "this too shall pass" but, well...
Jasen is in the Screaming No phase.
When you do come out to the markets at Craven, let us know and we'll accompany you and/or have coffee and treats ready for a quick visit before you go back home!
Rest assured that *most* children manage to train themselves/allow themselves to be trained by the time they're off to college.
Hey Jenn?
I finished reading everything on the Internet and there isn't anything else to read. Could you write something?
Seriously though, how's the diaper-less week been going?
