brief...

kids are waking up...

s is 16 months old as of two days ago.

we are beginning potty training, just putting our feet in the water. she's pooped on the potty a few times, and has been waking up from naps with a dry diaper (sometimes), so we've brought the portable potties out & spread them through the house. just sitting on them gets her one reese's piece. she cried one day the whole way home from the grocery store because she needed to poop, and didn't want to do it in her diaper. amazing. she has, since, pooped in her diapers, but still. i thought it was pretty neat, since she was just 15 months.

z graduated from his gymnastics mini stars level up to the next one.

i've been very busy trying to finish 2012's taxes.

i cut my whole backside with a razor this morning because i was so tired and in a hurry. being tired and in a hurry are not a good combination, because i get clumsy and do stupid things like cut myself with a razor. thankfully, abuelo/a were able to stay home with s while i took z to his swimming lesson. had i taken s, she would've been trying to jump into the water the whole time, while crying. 

i have to teach group lessons on saturday, and have teacher training all day on sunday in eugene, so it's a no fun all work weekend. z has been coughing through the night the past few nights, so sleep has been at a minimum. all i can say is "ugh."

i was accepted into a violin teacher thing at juilliard, which takes place at the end of may, so while i have many travel details to settle, i look forward to seeing lots of college friends (as most of my whole conservatory class moved to nyc).

time to get z up and ready for ballet.
