I've moved...

You can now admire Brody here!

Help a Sister Out

We've come to the part of toddler hood and child rearing that I've feared the most... potty training. I have been dreading it and putting it off as long as possible, but apparently I'm the only person who thinks it's socially acceptable for a 32-month old to still be wearing Huggies.

Ahem.

So, give me all your advice. What worked, what didn't, what you wish you'd done differently, how seriously you contemplated giving your kid a swirly whirly after cleaning up the two hundredth accident for that day. All I have in my arsenal is a whole boatload of anxiety. Tomorrow we will venture out for the Elmo potty seat, big boy underwear, and a refill on my Xanax prescription. 

Coat & Tie Required

We're baaaack!

Happy Birthday, D!

My not-so-little brother turns 22 today!

Happy Birthday, Dan the Man!

Well, alrighty then.

Brody and I were waiting in line at Costco today, and he would not hold still in the cart! He was making me crazy- fidgeting, trying to climb out, squirming around, but it was too crowded to let him out. Finally I asked,  "Brody, what on earth is wrong?"

To which he replied, plain as day, "Mama, I POOPED!"

Okay then, that would explain it.

How well do you know me?

In Her Shoes

Brody, wearing my mom's flip flops, or "toes shoes" as he likes to call them.  We are having a FABULOUS time with her here!

A tail of two dogs

No, your eyes do not deceive you. Brody wants to have two dogs when he goes to bed at night. They're identical- I purchased the second one about a year ago so we'd have a back up in case of emergency.

Brody spent some time with just ONE of the dogs up at his grandparents, and I thought I'd broken him of the habit, but no such luck. When he came home, he spied him on the closet shelf and wanted him immediately.
