Sweet Child o' Mine

Winter and her parents are in the depths of a hot July, spending days lolling about on the living room floor, trying to catch a breeze. When the tide is high we trek down to the ocean so Scuba can get some relief, but the water is too cold for furless ones....this Ontario girl really misses all those wonderful lakes this time of year!

In other news, Winter is well on her way to being a diaper-free baby! I was so tired of washing diapers, and felt sorry for her tiny sodden bottom....I started paying attention to her "elimination" patterns, and now I know that when she wakes up from naps, after nursing, and upon arriving home after a walk, she'll want to go. So I hold her above the toilet and make a sort of whistling noise, and she obliges happily! She still wears diapers most of the time, but now they stay dry...down to two a day. I am really amazed at how quickly she caught on, and looking forward to her being able to give me some kind of signal to tell me when she needs to go!
