Part 1: Home/Family Update

Well, here I am again.

Ok, it has been a while since my last post.  Yep, you guessed it-- I must be on some sort of break from school.  It is spring break!

I've been working hard at the med student and wife-mommy thing, and I seem to have gotten more used to the craziness than I was last semester.

On the home front:
--My middle son is finally using the big boy potty!  Hooray!  He has known what to do and when to do it for some time now, and after some relentless prodding by my husband he has decided that he's ready to give up diapers.  Even better, he also no longer wears pull ups at night!  He did not even make it through one full package of pull ups.  My daughter used pull ups for at least a few months when she was potty training, so this was a nice surprise. 
--My daughter has become quite the big girl.  She is starting kindergarten this fall, and she is so ready.  She soaks up everything she learns, and she doesn't forget anything (unlike her mommy)!  She has her daddy's freakishly accurate long-term memory, which is a good thing!  She is getting ready to learn how to ski, which will be fun to watch.
--The baby now is anything but.  He's almost 1, and will be walking soon.  Now he is cruising all over the place and getting into everything.  It makes it hard to multitask sometimes but it is so exciting to see him grow and try to keep up with his siblings.  It's going to be a race between him and his brother to see who the family funny guy will be.  Both are extremely funny and love to make people laugh.
--My husband continues to me the awesome rock of the family, holding everything together when I get stressed with school.  Last week was exam week, and not only did he suggest leftovers one night (leftovers that we were all sick of), but he actually made dinner another night.  French toast and bacon, and it was awesome.  I'm so grateful that he is plugged into his family 100% everyday, and that he continues to work a job that he does not particularly love so that I can live my dream.  How can I even compete with that?
