To Apollos Mom:

[CorkysMom]

I'd love some tips on how you went abouttraining him to ride in the stroller. I'd like to get my kidsout and about more but really don't wanna have to carry them all thetime. (yes I know, at 6lbs and 10lbs you think thats light ) I'd even like to take em out as pairs eventually!

Any tips on how you wernt about getting him used to the stroller, potty training etc would be MUCH appreciated!!

Thanks!

(If anyone else has done this as well, plz reply!)

Tina's system got hit by lightening and her modem is fried. She'll be online as soon as she can.

In the meantime, she dictated this to me for you, PuterGeekGirl:

"Believe it or not, once you start moving, they really don't want tojump out. I just keep the leash in my hand and tight enoughso that he can't jump out. Put a "Wee Wee Pad" (puppytraining pad) in the stroller because they'll mark it and they'll haveaccidents. Before you put them in it, let them run around itand mark it all they want to check it out. That way, theymake it theirs..like a big cage on wheels. And that'sit!

Good Luck, and let me know how it goes. Can't wait to see pictures.

Tina"

Sounds like I'll have to get that stroller out of storage and give it a try!!! Will also have to dig out them harnesses again!

 

[Carolyn]

She's fine, her computer's just dead.She's going through a lot of nonsense fighting with the warranteepeople.

Tina says: "I hope and pray it's not too muchlonger! :tears2:Thanks for asking, Amy. We're allokay, it just that my computer'sfried."

<geekmode> Sadly if its lightningstrike, it won't be covered under warranty, but she should check withher homowners insurance, that kinda stuff should be covered, if therewas enough damage to warrant a claim that is. </geekmode>

Glad to hear everyones ok though!

 

[Carolyn]

I'll tell her that PuterGeekGirl. You Are Not a Geek: You are a very Wise Woman!

That's exactly what the warrantee people are telling her. :sad:

Me too! I've read your messages to her and she's really moved that you miss her so much.

The good news is that Dale picked up Hopi and Christa today fromGypsy. He'll be home with them in 8 days. She'sused to saying, "Yay! My man will be home in 8days." Now she's saying, "Yay! My girls will behome in 8 days!!"

Christa's the one with her foot on the fence, Hopi is the one on theleft. Of course, Dale's driving Tina crazy by calling themHopi and Dopey. :disgust:

Its a self proclaimed title...its all good... Iwork on these hunks for cr@p for aliving...YUCK!!!! Ya gotta be a geek to put up with this stuff! Bunniesand this forum are a nice stress reliever!

 

[Carolyn]

I'm really glad you can find a release here,PuterGeekGirl. Agree that the bunnies are also a great way toescape.I feel the same way about some of the folksI work with.

I hate to tell Tina about the news of the warrantee, but she's beentold that already. She was really missing everyone last nightwhen Dale said he could pick up the girls from Gypsy. Shesooo wanted to shout it from the rooftops. She'll have hertwo cents in here one way or another as I talk to her everyday.

[CorkysMom]

I'm glad to hear Tina is okay. I hope she is able to get the insurance to replace the computer. :rainbow:

 

[Carolyn]

Me too, Jenniblu!

I'm seeing if we have any extra modems kicking around here.

Christa got the bunny butt from Dale. Hopi is being a bitmore gentle with her Daddy. Christa didn't like to becleaned. She pouting. So much for Dale wishing totake Christa with him on trips.

-Carolyn

 

[Jenniblu]

LOL So Christa is already giving thebunny butt, huh? That little sassy girl! Just tellDale to bribe her with some craisins or oats and she will come around.:balloons:

 

[Carolyn]

He's already gotten a bag of baby carrots,yogurts, etc., but she didn't like Dale cleaning her butt."She doesn't know Daddy, it freaked her out!" said Tina. Whata little stinker. Hopi is doing great. She'salready being very sweet with him, but he still wants Christa on thetruck with him. He's looking for chew toys as wespeak.

[CorkysMom]

Carolyn-can you find out if its an internalmodem or an external? I may be able to scrounge something up for her.(no guarantees)

P.S- Hubby is gonna run by my storage unit and see if he can find my sons old stroller so I can try this out!
