the Jevne's

Let's see how much can I get done...

Yes, Samuel is potty training.. had few good ones where he made it to the potty, but we have had quite few messes to clean up. But it's been only 4 days, so I cant give up now. For him, sounds like he knows and recognizes when is coming, but gets too excited on his play that doesnt prioritaze very good.. dont blame him though.. Here, is his favorite underware.. I keep saying, " you dont want to get wally wet, right?" his answer.. "nope!" What a pose.. I have to admit that it was sooo funny the first time he pooped in the potty.. he said with great surprising face "It's a poopo warm!" then he smiled..

Later when he naps I decided I dont want to worry about cleaning the cushions and yes I know.. white trash and all, but saves me time, effort, patients.. and my hands too.. so here goes the poor kid napping under plastic.. got to admit that with his arm above his head, his ribs pop out soo much that looks terribly skinny. I am glad his appetite still as good as it was back in the States.

Benjamin is growing so fast everyday.. He is already walking and just discovering all kinds of things... I have had to put away things every week because he would get stuck, crawl over.. yes, his normal look of his forehead is with bruises because of how much he falls or just voluntarily hits his head on the floor.. got to teach him the concept of selfestem this young.. He loves shoes, especially my flip flops or Samuels shoes because of the velcro.. I love this picture though.. so inocent.. You can still see his little bandaids from his one year inmunizations few days ago.. just cried when the needle when in and that was it. He even wipped his own tears and looked over another side far from the doctor to entertain himself. What a tough cookie! Samuel just looked quitely and held the bandaids like the doctor asked him to.

One of his favorite things now is to point.. not necessarily because is important, but just to do it.. he is sooo funny when he does it because of his gesture with his mouth.. looks like a monkey, even Samuel noticed and mentioned out laud of course.

Sometimes, he just gives these weird looks at you.. definetly making faces is part of character..
Every now and then, he has thrown some kisses.. here was the first shot I could get of it. He still loves music, any kind too.. I love this clip because you can tell how hard Samuel was trying to sing along but couldnt catch up to it.. And later Benjamin just does his jumping on his knees dance move..

But really, Benjamin learned to get around with the trash.. So, we had to put it up higher, out of reach.. now is a pink bucket where he just loves to get around with.

The funny thing is that Samuel decided to use a little round trash can to rise him around the house. Samuel likes to protect himself like the football players, so he wears his "helmet" when "driving his bucket".. kids.. haha

Mami finally got her shipment of flour and pasta from Roseau.. you can buy it here in Picard, but it ends up being more expensive in the long run since the little stores here buy it in big shipments like I did and sell it by 1, 2 or 5 pound bags.. So, I got tired of going to the store for it every few days and just have my own store in the convenience of my shelves. Thankfully Benjamin was taking his nap, and Samuel help me divide the big 100 lb bag into smaller bags.. and put away the wheat flour ones already in 5 lb bags... both go by fast since I make my own wheat bread. He was excited though.

The results.. we made pizza that night.. and everybody seemed to enjoy it! The pictures talk for themselves..
