“The time has come…the time is now” (Dr. Seuss)! We have finally been pushed, kicking and screaming, into the world of Bloggers. We have so very much to learn about this land, so bear with us as our goal is to bring you the most up-to-date Aileen (and occasionally Luke and Keri) doings and pictures.

Yesterday (Wed Apr 9th) was our last intro to ballet/jazz/tap/cheerleading class, the 16th is our final performance and party. Aileen has been a trooper! The first class she was amused and participated in pretty much everything. By the 2nd class she knew this wasn’t necessarily her bag, but she liked the teacher and enjoyed watching the other girls. She always wants to go to class but once there is interested only in visiting with the teacher and getting a sticker at the end of class…a bit reminiscent of a not-so-athletically inclined 5yr old who once was removed from a t-ball team but still got a trophy at season’s end for always coming to the games and entertaining those watching the outfield for signs of heavenly beings (aka: dirt angels).

As of last Fri (Apr 4th) we began the potty training journey. I had been scared to embark on this adventure and held fast to the idea that we would begin after I finished a book on it…you can almost imagine how exciting a non-fiction novel about potty training would be so the reading was slow in coming. Fri I decided enough was enough and we went to the store (as we were out of diapers) and bought Ariel under-garments instead of diapers. Aileen, as usual, has approached this challenge with patience and persistence…her dad and I are taking notes! She is well on her way and amazing us more everyday.

Going to see if I can figure out how to get pictures on here.
