Hey everyone! Hope you're all staying warm and safe in the snow and ice at home! I really wish we would've been around to see some more snow, so that Isaiah could've gone sled riding with Ella, but hopefully next Christmas I guess! Things have been good here. The AVMA visited this week to do a site visit and determine what they will recommend to the accreditation board in March. We're hoping they were very pleased with their visit and that they will recommend accreditation for Ross! If they do, then Ross will be accredited the same as all U.S. vet schools, which will mean that Josh won't have to pay lots of money to take a foreign equivalency exam and that would be awesome!

Isaiah went to school all 3 days this week and is doing great. As long as I can sneak out without him noticing, he doesn't cry at all and his teachers say that he always has a good day. We also found out that he doesn't use a pacifier to sleep at school at all, although he still always insists on using one to nap and sleep at home, so we have to figure out how to tackle that. I right now am exhausted enough with attempting to potty train Isaiah that I don't think I want to add another fight to the mix! Isaiah still has his good days and bad days with potty training. We've been trying to let him choose 'big boy underwear' to wear in the afternoons and evenings after school in the hopes that it will help him realize when he needs to go to the bathroom. So far, I think we're making progress. The beginning of the week when he peed through the underwear he just wanted me to hold him and I had to figure out that he peed in the apartment somewhere, but last night when he peed, he looked at us and said, "I need to go potty." I'm hoping that one day soon we'll make it to the potty BEFORE any of the peeing starts, so we'll see how that goes!

Isaiah and I went last Saturday morning to the prep school with Damon and his Dad, Harley. Jen and Eli also joined us a little later. We took the boys' bikes and Isaiah's scooter since there is a basketball court they could ride on and they were also able to play on the swings and in the sandboxes. It was really nice to have something to do on a day when Josh was studying for most of the day. I think we're going to try to make it a weekly occurrence and invite some other parents and kids this week, so hopefully Saturday mornings will turn into a big play date for the boys!

Criss-cross, applesauce!
Yesterday, Isaiah and I went to our weekly pool day. Not too many people were there this week, but Eli came and that was all that really mattered to Isaiah! Before we went to the pool, Isaiah and I had a really nice morning playing at home and played with his new playdough tools for almost an hour! Once we got home from the pool, he took a good nap and then we played some more outside on the porch until Josh got home. Playing outside on the porch in the afternoons is pretty much a daily occurrence for us right now. The weather has been really nice since we got back. Even though it's still in the low 80's during the day, there is a nice breeze and once the sun moves to the other side of the island and our porch is shaded in the afternoon, the conditions are PERFECT and Isaiah really loves to be outside, so it's been great.
Isaiah decided he should run around with his Pool floaty ON!
My boys...relaxing on the porch.
Tomorrow we are going to go play at the prep school with Damon and Eli again and then after Isaiah's nap, our friends, Jen and Jason Chin, are having a pool party/cookout at their place in the afternoon as a welcome back for Jen and Ava and a meet and greet for their new baby boy, Tavius! I'm really looking forward to it. We haven't all gotten together since before break, so it will be nice to see and spend some time with everyone!
