I have been meaning to tell you what Caden did a few weeks ago. It was a Sunday, so I was in the house getting the boys and myself ready alone. I came downstairs and put Caden in his high chair - all 5 points of the harness - and went into the kitchen to fix breakfast. While Corban and I were in the kitchen, Caden was fussing the whole time... then all of a sudden I didn't hear him fussing. What I did hear was little feet pounding the floor. That's right, he got out of the straps of the high chair, got out of the seat, and somehow got down out of the high chair by himself. You should have seen him, he looked so proud of himself!

Yesterday after breakfast I was talking to the woman I babysit for and I had a show on for the boys. I kept hearing a noise in the dining room, but I thought it was the blinds clicking together. When I got off the phone I had to go in search of Caden. He was sitting up in the middle of the table surrounding by a mess - huge mess. Scary thing was, I had my sewing maching and a pair of scissors on the table. There's no telling how much damage he could have done with those.

Potty training is going really well. Corban hardly ever has an accident in the house, but we're having problems while we're out. Even though he's been in public restrooms, I don't know that he gets the idea of being able to use those whenever he needs. He's also doing really well with his eye. It looks horrible, but it doesn't seem to bother him anymore. We've got to go back to the ER on Saturday to get them out. I'm thinking they'll have to put him in the papoose again, so I'm not looking forward to that.

However, Libby and Cameron and the kids are coming up on Thursday! We're going to go to the zoo and hopefully get the kids to the photo studio to get pictures of the four of them together. I hate it that Corban's eye is going to look like it does, but this is the first time we've all been together when we've had a few spare minutes to get it done and I think it will be a great Christmas surprise for John and Paulette. Well, both boys are up now and I'm going to go make waffles and then head to the grocery store. I have a HUGE order of groceries to get b/c we're having company this weekend, plus having a cookout on Sunday, plus we're just out of everything. This should be interesting with a potty training toddler.
