becoming a Barlow
Mmmm doesn't that look yummy? What do you mean you don't know what it is. Well here is the back story on this sweet little treat. After I married James we spent a conference weekend at his parents home and his mom made this really yummy coffee cake with a sugary crumble on top on Sunday morning, apparently it was a tradition they had. Well now that we have been married for awhile I finally obtained the recipe, well actually Sylvia just gave it to me, but the point is that even though we are 1500 miles away from her kitchen we had coffee cake just like they did for the Conference Sunday breakfast. Thanks Syl.Moving on to something that is kind of random, the kids were playing with this little stroller that Leslie gave Gwen, and all of a sudden I realized that Gwen was strapping Harrison into it. I was surprised that it was holding his weight and that his chubby little legs even fit in there, but alas Gwen coaxed him in and pushed him around for a little bit, then we freed Harrison just in time for bed.
But I guess that it was such a fun game that this morning they were at it again, but this time Gwen had strapped herself in and was having Harrison pull her around. The best part of this little process is that Harry CAN actually pull her, he is smaller than her in hight, but the kid lacks no muscle.
Harrison had pushed he into the corner and when the stroller wouldn't go anymore he opted for a little break. I love that they are friends sometimes, and sometimes Harrison is the baby, and sometimes Gwen pretends that he is not there, or lately the classic "mom, Harry is touching my arm" has come up, but I will say that it is fun to have them both interacting together. They are pretty funny. Even though Gwen seems to never be wearing pants in her pictures.

Gwen's hair is so long and beautiful. I don't think Kaitlin's hair will ever be long enough to braid.
As for Eric's potty training. I kept him in the kitchen because I didn't want puddles all over my house and the kitchen is the only room in the house (besides the small bathrooms) that doesn't have carpet. I did not read any book on potty training. I bought some stickers, treats and prizes, printed out a potty chart from the internet and put him a pair of underwear for the afternoon. He had a few accidents the first couple of days but so far we have been accident free. He still wears diapers to bed and pullups when we are out and about.
Congratulations on a successful coffee cake! I am SO proud of you. It is a little tricky to make so you can be proud of yourself! I love looking at the pictures of Gwen and Harry playing together and reading your commentaries on them. Thank you for sharing!
Ada is a no-pants kind of girl too.
I love Harrison in the stroller! Funny picture. Did you decide on a hair cut?
with the look of that coffee cake, i married into the wrong family! you are a nicer mom than I am. I dont let my kids sit in the doll stroller. mostly because the weight that my kids carry on their bodies would completely destroy it. but i guess if they are having fun, what's a broken stroller? looks like your kids are becoming better friends each day.
