Happy 2nd Birthday, Haddie!

Haddie came screaming into this world two years ago and so much has changed in those two years!  She is an independent, strong-willed, funny little girl and we are so happy she is ours!

On her first birthday, she was cut-off from nursing. Done. No more. Happy Birthday To You!

On her second birthday she was given a seat at the dining table. No more high chair. 

I think two is going to be a good year! 

Blizzard Day Fun!

What happens at the Fluge house on a storm day?  We build a big, awesome fort!

Other happenings:  

• Somebody split their lip open in a trampoline accident.
• Somebody almost fainted.
• Somebody pooped their pants in the closet.
• One person got fully dressed.
• Awesome fort was demolished by lunch time.
•  Other, less severe, injuries.
• Somebody "thought this was going to be the best day."

How to Potty Train a Grizzly Bear

'No. 1'
Step one: Bribery with chocolate. 

'No. 2'
Step one:  Sense when the bear has to make a stink.
Step two:  Capture bear.
Step three: Escort bear to what the humans call a 'toilet.'
Step four: Distract bear from noticing the human contraption it is sitting on. (This may last anywhere from 10-45 minutes).
Step five (the mistake): Believe the bear does not have any 'movement' and set it free.
Step six:  Notice bear is missing. Go on bear hunt. You will find a big one. A big stinky one.
Step seven:  Reassess bear potty training plan.
