i’ve been in idaho falls with the kids for the week. nicole’s in new york with one of her friends from college, who is in the process of moving there, so i’m alone with the kids. this week has been amazing. i haven’t had this much time alone with the kids in over a year and i’ve really enjoyed the time.

quick aside: my kids are the best. they’re smart, funny, strong, caring, cute, and resourceful.

before this week, i set a goal to get eva, my 2 year old, totally potty trained by the end of the week. nicole suggested it a couple weeks ago, after i was already determined to do so. she’s said she’d tried, but with the time shortage from school, hadn’t been able to make it work.

to put it succinctly, mission complete. two days since an accident and she’s continuing to get more confident.

explaining that appearance isn’t everything, nicole told celeste she was beautiful on the inside. celeste responded “my teachers are beautiful on the outside and they are bloody on the inside. they are heart-y and brainy, too. we’re all filled with bloood.”

when she says blood, she really seems to enjoy dragging the word out.. “bloooood.”

born in mid-january of 2000, celeste has the luxury of being easily able to compute her age based on the last three digits of the current year. “i’m 5 because it’s 2005. in 2094, i’ll be 94.”

her grandfather gave her an offset for his age and helped her figure out how old he’d be in 2007, 2010, etc. he asked her how old he’d be in 2055. she said, “i’ll be 55. you’ll be died, already.”
