Batman!

Last Saturday, while Dad was working, Josh, Alauna and I went to the Safe Kid's Fair (for free!) at the South Towne Expo Center. I wasn't expecting too much, but the advertisement said Batman would be there, so of course we had to go. We didn't learn too much about being safe, but we sure got a lot of cool (free) stuff. And, of course, Batman was a blast. We got his autograph, and as you can see, his picture. His costume was quite amazing. It was very realistic, like the one in the movies. Oh, and did I mention this was free? I love free stuff. We had fun, so that's what matters. (Alauna wasn't really sure what to think about the masked man in black, so she's hiding).This is a picture of Josh pretending to drive a firetruck. Maybe one day he will be a firefighter....

And this one is of Josh playing pilot in a helicopter. Again, maybe one day he will be a pilot....

Josh, the Photographer

I gave Josh my old digital camera when I got my new one 2 Christmases ago. I finally loaded what he had taken pictures of because his card was full. I just finished looking at them, and I laughed so hard. It's amazing what one can learn from the eyes of a child. Here are some of my favorite pictures he took. Enjoy!

Alauna is 1!

I sure can't believe Alauna is 1 already. I think we may have skipped a few months in there somewhere. She doesn't have any teeth yet, so people think she is younger than she really is. We had a fun party with family, cake, ice cream, and presents. Here she is in her tu-tu that Grandma Wadsworth made. So cute!

Halloween Fun

We had a lot of fun this Halloween. We carved pumpkins, and then went to Josh's cousin's (Caiden) house in West Point to go Trick-or-Treating. (Usually, we would join Ammon's sister and her 3 girls, but they up and moved to California. Booo hooooooo :( ) Anyway, they had a blast. In case you can't figure it out, Caiden is Batman, Alauna is the Li'l Pumpkin, and Josh is Spiderman. I asked him if his real name was Peter Parker, and he said, "Yes, but don't tell anyone, because the bad guys would hurt my family."

My Review of Dri Nights Bedwetter Pants

Originally submitted at One Step Ahead

More than 5 million kids struggle with bedwetting...isn't it time for an alternative to bulky, uncomfortable pull-ons (not to mention expensive disposables)? Our design team performed months of research to bring you these remarkably soft, leak-resistant cloth pants. Very slim, and more absorben...

2out of 5

Gift: No

Pros: Easily Cleaned

Cons: Leaks

Best Uses: Toilet Training

Describe Yourself: Parent of Two or More Children

The description in the catalog said these were leakproof. I bought 6 hoping to save some money on disposables for my 4-year-old who is potty-trained during the day, but not at night. He is constantly waking up drenched because they leak. Also, I followed all the sizing guidelines and purchased 4T, but they are very small for him and even gave him a rash from chafing around his legs.

We may be taking a better one on a different day, but this one was okay.
