who has a question?

I always like when people do question and answer posts, and I want to do one. Only problem is, I don't know if you guys will have any interest! But let's try it. You can ask me about anything- parenting, running, veganism, even small and silly things like what's in my handbag or what I eat for breakfast. And please, please everyone ask a question because I will feel like a big stinky loser if you don't... I give you permission to be as nosy as you want. In fact I'll even open anonymous comments for it, but keep it classy, mkay?

Moving on, other random things happening here...

- Henry has started going to sleep for the night around the same time every night. It makes our nights feel almost normal because I can put him to sleep upstairs, and actually have a little time to myself and read for a few minutes before I go to bed.

- Yesterday morning I took both Henry and Celia to music class for the first time. It took us forever to get out of the house, between Henry needing extra changes and Celia not cooperating. But once we got going it went really well. I was worried Henry wouldn't be happy because I had to interrupt his nap, but he stayed awake and looked around for most of the class and when he got tired and fussy at the end I just nursed him. The ultimate pacifier! Celia did very well too. She's always such a good girl when we're out, and despite the difficulties we sometimes have I'm so thankful for her when I see other kids acting like wild animals in public. And yes, we saw some of those yesterday...

I can never get her to smile normally for pictures. Always get these weird faces!

- Celia didn't nap yesterday. It was a long day. Mid-afternoon, we headed out of the house for a while and had a nice time. We looked in vain for some things for Celia's birthday party and then went to Panera for a snack. Henry slept in his stroller, and Pita and I had a nice little time sitting and eating together. I love going out with her like that.

- Pita is completely independent with using the bathroom now! She's been trained for a while, but we often had to talk her into going because she would put it off when she was busy playing and wouldn't want to go. All of a sudden, in the last couple weeks she has gotten so independent. We put potty seats on the big toilets and she can go to the bathroom and wash her hands without us even there now. The only thing remaining is that she still wears pull-ups at night, but she wants to wear underpants all the time so I think she's motivated and will get rid of pull-ups soon.

- I never had a great diaper bag with Celia- just a nice bag I could throw everything into. But now with things being more hectic and having to carry things for me, Henry, and Celia I've been wanting a real diaper bag with lots of pockets. My old bag is a messy jumble and it's just not working. I put another bag I've barely used on Ebay to make the money for a new one. Smart, right? I'll probably even have extra money from that sale. Now I've gotten rid of an old bag I didn't need, it will be reused and won't be wasted, and I have a new one that's exactly what I've been looking for. I did some research and had my eye on this one for a few months.

Don't forget to leave me a question! Ask anything you want.
