Smaller Handbags, Here I Come!

Nils chose this week to no longer wear diapers- yay! Of course, we've had crappy weather for 2 weeks and were trapped inside. And the day that it turned nice again he decided this and we're still trapped at home. And next week the work on our house begins, so it will be hard to take the kids out a lot. But I am still very, very happy that he decided, on his own, to wear underpants. And that he's doing very well with it too. Yipee!

We took our first outing today sans diapers and it was a success. Of course, it was just a walk for about 15 minutes.... we wanted to go to the playground, but ominous looking storm clouds and thunder scared us off and we took a quick spin around the main street here. Jay was the same age when I took away his diapers- it took him barely two days to get it down. But 2 years, 7 months- not bad!

Friday, we had the scaffolding put up on the house. The roofer comes Monday and we'll be fully underway. I cannot believe that it took six months to get a building permit for a new roof and to build a room on our rooftop deck. Until I spoke with my neighbor and it took them two years for a permit to tear down an old building and build a new one. It is the historical district after all.
