Beach Break

For the last six months, we’ve encouraged, prodded, even bribed Hogan to potty in the toilet.  That’s where the potty goes … in the toilet, not in a diaper, not in underwear but in the toilet.  Today, we totally confused him by giving him permission to potty in the ocean.  His face contorted into a confused grimace.  What?  Potty there?  Do I pull down my pants? 

Lu and Johnny Free continue to practice their swimming in preparation for the Conway Kids’ Triathlon in August.  Henny’s always trying to keep up with big brother and sister so he continues to improve his “three style” swimming.  He’s so proud!

We enjoyed a delicious celebratory dinner tonight at an upscale, white tablecloth bistro.  The children devoured she crab soup while I coerced them into sea scallops plus grilled veggies!  According to the kiddos, we were celebrating opportunity, the beach, birthdays, and family time!!! 

We have more cable channels here than should even be legal and still“The Waltons” takes priority!

We’re on the road again tomorrow evening.  It’s been a beautiful  beach break!
