I think E is finally on the road to potty training. Earlier last week, underwear was the topic of conversation, and she wanted to wear some. I told her that she needed to use the toilet when she had to go potty. And if she kept her diaper dry, she could wear them.

She has consistently gone more times in the potty than her diaper in a day. She still has to have a diaper change now and then, but it has been better. We also bought her pull-ups, which is good too (more like underwear.) She can go to the bathroom and now pull her pull-up back on herself.

J continues to make his rounds doing his frog impression. He is an active little almost 10 month old. He still loudly insists on his food, likes his Cheerios, and still doesn't so much care to drink from a bottle or cup.

Today was our first day of MOPS. I felt it was quite chaotic. Probably because I wasn't as prepared as I should have been, I was late getting to church, and it was the first day and things crept up.

Hopefully, our next meeting will be better.

Tonight G and I are going to a Bible study. And I hope it is actually a Bible study and not just a time to get together and swap stories, or check out what the latest Christian author wrote, or ways that we can help ourselves get better at something. Because frankly, I can swap stories with other moms at MOPS, I can read a book on my own, and I just can't help myself. I need God and His word.

The word of God is unchanging, yet new every time I read it. It's a great mystery that I want to know better. I want to hear how God changes others when they read it. I have difficulty right now taking time to read on my own and want to be held accountable.

G and I and my parents are going to a Phillies game on Wednesday! I am very excited. Our seats are right behind the visiting dugout. I will be able to touch it. We have never had seats that good before. And to make it better, they are free. G got them from a client at work. We made sure to let him know that we would take any other tickets that he didn't need.

I am also looking forward to the game, because we haven't done much in the way of outings with my parents. So, I will enjoy going out with them.

We also have a VIP parking pass.
