With Eddy being gone for several days earlier in the week, he was able to take the day off on Wednesday. We got a nice dumping of snow on April Fool's Day. Mother nature always gets the last laugh, doesn't she? So we spent part of the day outside shoveling, playing in the snow, and making a snowman. Isaac was fun to watch.
Isaac is doing really well with potty training! Accidents are few and far between. We still bring him to the bathroom without waiting for him to tell us he has to go, though. I got a suggestion from the receptionist at the clinic we go to--putting money in his piggy bank was the reward for using the toilet. It was great! We didn't want to reward with food/treats or give him a toy. We also bought green foaming soap, which he thought/still thinks is really cool. Diapers are reserved for naptime (he's dry a lot of the time) and overnight. One diaper in 24 hours--amazing! Isaac disrobes from the waist down to use the toilet...so now we're working on getting him to put his own underwear and pants back on. The other night he put his underwear on--backwards, but who's criticing (?!) and didn't want to put his pants on. He started dancing to one of the contestants singing on American Idol. Such a ham!

A few other updates. Eddy's team left tonight for their first conference series. Their record had been 7-2 up until Sunday. They had the opportunity to play St. Cloud State, which is a Division II school. Unfortunately they lost both games and also lost 2 games each to Concordia St. Paul and Viterbo. They are now 7-8 going into their first conference series this weekend. He has high expectations of his team; I think everyone is impressed with their progress, especially since this is only Eddy's third season (second recruiting class).
Work is going well for me. I work three days a week. I feel lucky to be able to practice as an NP and still have time to be home with Isaac. Hard to believe that I shadowed an NP when I was 14 and decided then that being an NP was what I wanted to do. 15 years later (!!) and I've already had 2 years as an NP under my belt.
We officially hit the third trimester of this pregnancy this week! 28 weeks down, 12 to go. Lots of movement from baby the past few days. Some days there's quite the show to see; my belly will move with all the movements baby makes.

Looks like you guys made the most of the snow storm! Just wanted to let you know, I got accepted at CSS for the FNP program! I had a phone interview which I thought went crappy but apparently not too crappy. We need to chat soon so you can fill me in on the program and teachers and what not. I'm planning a trip to Duluth here in the next month (May) so hopefully we can catch up when I there.
Thanks for your help thus far, I got in!
