Cameron's accident for the year


It seems that once a year Cameron seems to make into the emergency room. We are trying to keep our insurance company in business. Here's the story . . .on Thursdays, Cameron goes to the old high school gym to play basketball with other alumni. Apparently, things were going well until he went in for a rebound and when he stepped down his ankle rolled to the outside. It swelled up pretty well and my first instinct was to take a picture to document it. I don't think I showed the empathy like he was looking for. So, now he's off work for awhile. On the other hand, we're leaving for California next Saturday and Cameron's supposed to go fishing on Clear Lake for the first time. He says that if he has to lay on the deck of the boat and cast from there, he will still be happy.

Potty Training


We have begun the potty training process. It really didn't go so well at first, but it has improved greatly in the last week or so. Hyrum does well at home, but not so well when traveling to other places or even outside. This video is a sample of how Hyrum acted most of the time when I would have him go. I have been bribing him with all sorts of things like chocolate chips or chocolate milk or gum. I am one who believes bribery works, and works well. His attitude has changed for the most part and he doesn't fight me as much as he used to, but occasionally he will run the other way. Wish us luck and if anyone has tips for boys - let me know!
