Kindergarten and Re-Potty Training

Brianna has been doing alright. She has had some listening/attitude issues lately, but we are trying to work through them. It's been kind of rough and draining. We have all of her paperwork for Cypress Christrian School sitting on our counter and we have to look at it and fill it out. We've 80% come to the decision to send her there. We think besides being in a Christian environment and having Jesus' love and principles being reinforced, our biggest desire for her to go there is that she wouldn't have to change schools if we moved within Central Ohio, like we will eventually do. That and even if we did still live here during her middle school years, we would not be sending her to the public middle or high school. Brianna is really excited about going into kindergarten regardless, though she would love to go to Cypress because her friend Conner goes there and her other friend Taylor will be going there. If Brianna and Taylor are in the same class it would be for the 3rd year in a row! She can't wait to go!

Katie is relearning the whole potty thing. She had been so traumatized by her constipation and incredibly hard poop that she refused to sit on the potty. So she pretty much retrained herself to do diapers. She is pretty good at going on the potty for pee, she's had a few accidents, but mostly from realizing hey, I don't have a diaper anymore, I can't just pee anywhere like I was doing. She has not pooped on the potty and has had quite a few poop accidents. We think she is still very fearful that it will hurt if she does go, but praying she gets past this soon. She is continuing to blow us away with what she says. She has some trouble with some sounds. Says pip instead of chip. Bop instead of stop. One of the funniest things she said to Veronica was, "I need my "pie-see" in regards to wanting her "privacy" while going potty LOL. And if you ask her what Veronica's name is, she says Mommy. Ask her what Veronica's other name is, Bronica. Too cute!
