Oh well, hi. Long time no talk. Life is busy here like all the time.

2.5 x 2 is no joke. Squish and Tiny Sir are nonstop from the moment they wake up until the moment they go back to sleep.

They potty trained this summer. Which is super exciting. They're only wearing pullups for sleep. They're both still having a coupl3 accidents a week but mostly solid.

They're both talking all the time. I love seeing their personalities develop. They're so wildly different.

I'm doing fine. Dipping my toes in a couple side hustles thay are creative in nature. That's been fun.

Day 8 of the school year and I just took a sick day. I think tiny Sir has an ear infection. He definitely has a cold.

I have a solid 8 things finished for my Etsy shop and yet have only posted 3. All the photos are taken. I just need to edit them. But my brain is out here like noooo no more work.

Also a fun photography thing I'd like to do: i want to do playroom mini sessions. So I have a playroom in the basement for my littles. We only really use it when its too hot or cold to go outside. But what if, when im more comfortable with my skills, I do playroom minis that are truly just you bring your kids and they/you play for 2 minutes while I take photos. Raw, real, mom who probably isnt in many playtime photos included. And best od all, you dont have to clean up after.

Just the things ive been working on lately to put in my Etsy shop.

I've been feeling so creatively inspired. And also processing through all the nicu and chd things.

I just posted my first listing on Etsy!

Y'all I'm actually doing this.

I have so many other things in the works.

Today was just a good day. The littles went to daycare. I cleaned all the common areas of my house. I did 2 loads of laundry and 2 loads in the dishwasher. I listened to 4 PDs. I finished with chapters of the book for one of my book study PDs.

Potty training day 2.5

Squish continued her protest of the potty. She flipped her lid when it even seemed like we were going to the bathroom.

I decided it was in both our best interests to let her take the lead and not put pressure on her to go potty. So she's not pausing potty training exactly, just stepping out of bootcamp.

Tiny Sir has had no accidents

He's consistently pee and poo-ing on the potty

He can tell you if he's not done

Potty training bootcamp day 1.5 (we unofficially started yesterday) wrap up

Tiny Sir did all his pooping on the potty!

Tiny Sir only had 2 off the potty accidents one in the car because we had to run an errand and one hiding under the table because he refused to go potty.

Squish had 3 successful pees in the potty.

After nap she refused to even sit on the potty so there were loads of accidents.

She pooped in the bath so I had to fish for poo. That was not fun.

She held her poop for many hours and when I put a pull up on her (because I needed a pause while I cooked dinner) she pooped within 5 minutes. We talked it out (it seems like your body needed to poop. Good thing your special underwear caught it!)

No one peed in the car after swim!

I'm doing potty training bootcamp with my peeps this week.

They both want to sit on the potty.

They both tell me they have to/want to go potty (though they haven't successfully gone yet).

They're both excited about it.

Tiny Sir can tell me (mostly accurately) when his diaper is dirty.

They both tell me, 'ewwww gucky' when getting a diaper change.

They both stop and stare at me to poo.

Tiny Sir stops to watch his pee happen

Squish is very bothered when she pees and she isn't wearing a diaper.

So we have 5 days of at home time. The only time we're leaving is to go to swim class in the morning. 🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽 we can get this done.

If i don't do it now, that means i leave it until either fall break in October or winter break. Neither of which sound appealing. And I'm certainly not waiting until spring break or next summer because they'll be 3 (or almost 3 at spring break).

I'm open to all tips and tricks. Or messages of solidarity/you can do this.

#adventures in life #science twins #also hi still alive just in a hella busy season of life right now

New garden update because why not.

I haven't been out to checking a few days because it's been raining.

But we've got peppers, strawberries, lettuce, and potatoes all pictured.

Also growing cantaloupe, watermelon, sweet potato, onion, and green beans. And I'll be planting corn and cucumber soonish.

My potato babies are growing and I'm so damn excited about it

I have 2 year olds. It's wild

My dishwasher died so I'm hand washing until the property manager can repair it.

Fully first world problem

But also my sensory issues HATE washing dishes.

Lots of people in my circle are talking boycotting target and Walmart. And only shopping at small locally owned stores.

All of those things are amazing but it feels like a yes and or yes but situation.

Yes but it takes a lot of folks boycotting to hurt the corporation. The more immediate hurt is felt by the folks who are trying to make ends meet and have their hours cut because there's less traffic in their store.

Yes, shopping local is always right and lots of people can't afford it. A container of shine and jam for squishs hair is like 8 bucks at a big box store and 13 bucks at the local black hair store.

Absolutely do what feels right for you. I'm making the conscious choice to frequent places less but it's just not realistic for the vast majority of people to completely stop going to those places while also recognizing corporations are shitty and are going to be even shittier right now.

I had a conversation with my sister yesterday. In light of my chosen career and the state of the world.

I felt like it was super important to make sure she knew what I wanted with D&D in the event that I can't be here.

First they came...that poem is living rent free in my head lately.
