I’ve updated my July 19 entry to include photos of the faucet replacement in bathroom #2.
This was my wife’s first day back to work after 10-minus-1 days off. We’d considered going somewhere during that time, but decided to save money instead, and really enjoyed our time at home.
Rebecca did pretty well, almost as if she expected Mommy to be gone. She helped me empty the dishwasher and trash, ate well, and napped well. Had some teething pains in the evening.
Our high was 99°F.
➤ A couple of nights ago, Rebecca woke up crying about 2 a.m. My wife heard it, rushed in. RLF said she needed to go to the bathroom. MF took her; RLF did. Then RLF went back to sleep. (I didn’t wake up. Noises will prevent me from falling asleep, but very little will wake[...]
After a cooler than average spring, yesterday was the hottest day of the year (high: 92°F) until today’s record high of 96°F. Had a pretty good day with Rebecca (scroll down for photos).

Rebecca did well with potty again today — still working on #2. After an early, short, and surprising nap (she put herself down at 11:50 for just an hour), much of the afternoon was full of fussing and craziness. I got a new debit card today, to replace the old one that was cracking and[...]
(Copyright © 2013 by Wil C. Fry. All rights reserved.) Today, Rebecca — for the first time — went to the bathroom somewhere besides our house. Rebecca awoke with a dry diaper for at least the third time this week, and stayed dry all day. In the morning, MF went to a doctor’s appointment for[...]
(Copyright © 2013 by Wil C. Fry. All rights reserved.) MF took RF to the library in the morning; she stayed dry the whole trip. Tried “Story Time”, wasn’t used to it. “I just want library book,” she explained. (By the way, I’m going to cease spelling her sentences completely phonetically and just use words.[...]
A few days ago, we passed what I’ve jokingly called “the Rebecca threshold” with our Benjamin pregnancy. She was born about 7 weeks before her due date. As of May 10, we passed that point in the current pregnancy. My wife’s at 34 weeks as of today, and about nine pounds lighter than she was[...]
(Copyright © 2013 by Wil C. Fry. All rights reserved.) Rebecca woke up with a wet diaper this morning, but still used the potty. We didn’t use another diaper all day! The generic diapers we buy are about 17 cents apiece, and I calculate that the Diaper Genie refills cost about 3 cents per diaper,[...]
Rebecca woke with a dry diaper this morning and kept her panties dry all day, using her potty correctly all day. We spent the day shifting from (1) us asking if she needed to go to (2) her telling us when she needed to go. And, after three days of holding it, she went #2[...]
Rebecca kept her diaper dry all morning, while MF was at work, and then wore panties the rest of the day, keeping them dry too. She even surprised us by staying dry during a supper trip to Dairy Queen (she had requested an ice cream cone). We put a diaper on her for the trip[...]
Big Milestone: Rebecca is now Three Feet Tall. Not quite tall enough for the WNBA, but on her way. She also crossed the 27-pound threshold for the first time (that we know of; we haven’t weighed her in a while). She’s 2.58 years (31 months) old. Compared to me: My mother didn’t record my height[...]
