on the potty

leaning forward on the potty after a night of battling with potty training and after being put to bed (always an excuse to get out of bed) "here comes the potty".  i can't help but wonder when potty training will be a wrap...with lux when she decided to do it, she did it, very few if ANY accidents.

christmas magic

i meant to write a few words over the holidays, but the holidays came and went and although we did very little, besides a bit of socializing and lots of movies (at home), they still came and went.  but they and christmas was magical, huxley was into it, as was lux.

and while last year, something seemed amiss with lux on christmas, maybe it was what she asked for, and got wasn't what she was expecting...i'm not sure, but something was slightly amiss.  and huxley too little to notice really anything.  but this year...

she came into our bedroom at 7:38 am, i remember that because I said to Geoff on xmas eve "we better go to bed early, she'll have us up at 5 am" but she didn't and she slept (well sort of "in" for lux) and we went into the living room with her and all her gifts were wrapped but not all of Huxley's.  AND the cookies crumbs were ALL gone from Santa's cookies and the carrots had been nibbled AND there were things in Lux's stocking that I didn't put there - so either it WAS santa, or Crash at the cookie crumbs and Geoff stashing in the stocking...I'll never know for sure. 

anyways it was lovely - santa brought her an aryan American girl doll with blue eyes and bouncy blond hair and he brought Huxley a tool bench.  Lux also got an American girl doll horse with ALL the trappings and Huxley a BIG truck and a guitar (among other things, many other things).  And all day on the 24th and the 25th we spent together, the four of us, with lots of walks and music and cooking and cuddling together and it was so nice, and everyone said "oh won't you be lonely" and i said "no" :). 

okay thats the cliff notes version, but its all candy canes and sugar plums you can be sure (the long version) so really i'll stop now.  and i will post pictures later, because i GOT A NEW CAMERA.

he take a dump

huxley at bedtime with lux's owl night light in my bathroom over the toilet "he gotta take a dump in the potty".  at least he knows where it goes...not that he's doing it now or anytime soon.
