The Gene Machine

On December 14, 2005 Brandi and I went into a photo booth at a Ripply's Believe it or not museum. This wasn't your typical photo booth. This one was supposed to predict you what your children are going to look like. The picture on the left is how Sky was supposed to look. The one on the right is a current real-life picture of him. What do you think? Does Sky look at all like the Gene Machine prediction?

The Potty Chair

Wednesday night, Brandi called me up and said, "You'll never believe what Skylar just did." This statement brough pictures running through my head about all of the horrible ways he might have destroyed something important in the house. But instead, Brandi was talking about something positive.

We had bought a potty chair for Sky a few months ago. We've not really done much of anything to teach him about it. Just set it in the bathroom. Well, apparently Sky had pointed at the chair, saying "this, this..." and tugged at his diaper. So BJ stripped him down and set him on the potty. AND, HE PEED IN IT! WoooWho! We're one step closer to no more diapers.

Vacations...

We had a last minute change of destinations. Instead of Virginia Beach, we went to Kansas. You can't get much farther from the beach than this (both geographically and metaphorically speaking). We'll hit the beach next week. Why the last minute change of plans? Well, Sky's 97 year old great grandmother broke her pelvis. So, we went to check up on her. She seemed very happy to see Skylar.
