At least being a mom is entertaining...

Some days, even when I am doing something I am dreading, I realize that at least there are always those hilarious mom-moments sprinkled (or tinkled) throughout the day.

Today's was potty training the Wy-man this afternoon, by putting him on the toilet every 15 minutes. First, he insisted on trying on every single one of his new pair of underwear, and then had to crane his neck around to get a good view of the super hero on his backside.

And then, one of the first few times I put him on the toilet and encouraged him to go potty...

Me: (super excited voice)

"Come on Wyatt! Do you have any potty? Potty in the toilet!"


Wyatt: (looking down at his peep, concentrating)

"It not working...It broken!"


Totally made up for the pee all over my floor! That kid, I swear.

**Don't worry, he figured out how to 'work it' later on in the day. Looking forward to tomorrow...

Sick of being sick

Is it January or July? Someone please help me out and let me know, because we have been sick and it isn't feeling like summer at our house! Wyatt had a sore throat for a while, and then as soon as he got feeling better, Jaxson got an ear infection, and then they both got pink eye, and now I have Strep throat and an ear infection...ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! This is all in the last week or so, and we are not feeling very festive this 4th of July. Poor Jax has to take Zyrtec, Amoxicilan (sp?) and eye drops morning and night.

On the up side, Mark got to say GOODBYE to the Lancer yesterday - thank you Tucker from Idaho (or should I say "Sucker", haha). You serverd us well for 163k miles, but it was time to let you go. We shopped around today and after some wheelin' and dealin' ended up with a new civic. Hooray for cars with air conditioners that work! I'm sure Mark will be enjoying his ride to work on Tuesday WITHOUT the windows rolled down on I-80.
