1. How do I get Jack to stop drinking from a bottle? Come on all you mommies--help me out. So here's where we are: he's 1 now. We don't want him having a bottle anymore but he will only drink milk from a bottle. Okay, you can't really call it "milk" when it's Neocate and there's absolutely no milk or soy whatsoever in it...but you get the point. He drinks out of a straw cup thing like a champ....but only when it's water. We tried to put his "milk" in it a couple times and he takes one drink and gives us the FUNNIEST look ever---furrows his brow, looks at the cup, looks at us, and makes a look like "What the heck do you two think you're trying to pull?" and then he promptly throws the cup onto the floor. He drinks a bottle first thing in the morning and a bottle right before he goes to bed. He really needs the nutrients from that neocate since he's a skinny littlee 20th percentiler....but how do I get him to drink it from the cup and not from the bottle? Come on mommies, I know you have advice for me.
2.. I know that yesterday's blog was depressing. John's not as funny and witty as I am. It's one of the things we're working on in our marriage: trying to make him more like me.
3. Our garden looks spectacular. SPECTACULAR. We have so many veggies and herbs and I can't wait for them all to start popping up! I am going to blog about it next week so you can tell me what a good job I did. I need to feel good about my gardening skills before I inevitably kill everything.
4. My "travel season" is about to start up again soon. The next few months are filled with all sorts of trips. Right now I only have 4 definite ones booked but they inevitably get sprung on me a week or so before I have to jump on a plane again. I hate traveling for work. I kind of hate traveling for fun even. Luckily, my first two trups are just to Austin and John and Jack are coming along for the first one. The third trip I get to see my sweet friend Kaitlynn for a few hours. So hopefully all of them can have a bit of a light to them...because if I didn't mention it before, I HATE TRAVELING FOR WORK!
5. Ever since Daylight Savings Time, my phone alarm has been going off at 5 instead of at 6. I have deleted the alarms and reset them. No luck. So you would think I should just set it for 7 and it'll go off at 6, right? But then what happens on the one day where it decides to work correctly and I wake up an hour late? So I was just waking up at 5 and either setting a timer to get up in an hour or just waking up altogether. Well yesterday I didn't do either. And I woke up at 7:20. I leave my house for work at 7:30. Thank goodness it was spring break (and therefore spring break traffic) or I would have been over an hour late for work. I was only 5 minutes late. I have no idea how I pulled that off.
6. John and I are getting a new blog layout! He is going to redesign it for me like I've been asking for a super long time. I am VERY excited. I know you don't care...but I do!
7. My little sister made it to the next round of “interviews” or whatever to be Charlie Sheen’s intern. She also was chosen as a 2011 Route Leader for Bike the US for MS. So she will either be spending her summer doing something with meaning and purpose and helping raise money and awareness for a debilitating disease all while getting rock hard calve muscles….or she’ll find out what mental illness mixed with an insane amount of sex and drugs can do to a person. Guess which one I’m rooting for?
8. That’s all, folks! Have a great weekend!

My advice? Just keep trying and don't stress out. It's not like his life will be ruined if he happens to drink from a bottle until 14 months old. I promise! I don't remember when we were able to get Amelia fully weaned off, but I do remember every once in awhile still needing to give her a bottle, and I think we didn't even get her to that point til about 13 months old. Don't stress about it. (says the mommy stressing that her 3 y/o doesn't appear too interested in the potty). (and don't think, wow that won't be me, like I did when a friend was dealing with it, cos Jack might be FOUR before using the potty, which is feasible as one of our great nephews was starting kindergarten and they had done EVERYTHING prior, and did it right as their 2nd one was potty trained in no time). anyway that has to be the hugest grammatically ugly sentence ever. You get my point. Relax!!!!
