Happy Spring (aka, the season of a million flyers)

I love Spring, the sun comes out and we all come out to play.

One thing I CAN NOT stand, and if you're a homeowner you know what I'm talking about, the flyers on my front door. Seriously, how many people actually get their lawn service from a flyer that was on their front door? Or decide to hire a handyman because he walked door to door and asked for work.

I am one of those people who ask weird questions and never get the answer. Here is one of my recent favs, if you know the answer please tell me! And if you've ever used a service based on a flyer you got on your door please tell me, I'm very interested!

Do Amish people go grocery shopping? If so are they allowed to use the automatic doors?

Does this remind you of someone?

My dear husband sends me this photo and tells me I look like Angelina Jolie. I don't know, I guess I can WISH that I look like her....

A funny thing happened Saturday night. You know you've been doing something too much if you do it in the middle of a deep sleep. I did all of the following while asleep:

I woke Brian up in the middle of the night and told him it was time to go to the potty. He said the only reason he followed me was because he actually had to go. When we got to the bathroom I put Adam's little potty seat on the toilet and told him to sit down and go. Then I looked at him and said "Wait, you're way too big for this seat" I then took the potty seat off and told him to go pee. So he did and while he took FOREVER to pee I stood there doing the pee-pee dance telling him I had to go really bad.

When I awoke on Sunday morning I had a faint sense of walking in my sleep. I asked Brian "Did I potty train you last night?" And he replied with a chuckle and a "Yes you did"

This is not quite as bad as the last time I did something REALLY odd while asleep. I don't want to publish this but it's really funny, so if you think of it ask me sometime! Let's just say it also involved peeing but I was alone and I was looking for the cat's litter box.....

Sorry for all the potty talk

Today we ventured to 12 Oaks Mall for a playdate and some lunch.
I had lots of anxiety about this trip. I planned to take Adam for the car ride (30 minutes one way) and spend the whole time at the mall with no diapers or pull-ups, only underpants (and regular pants of course!)
He did wonderful! Not one accident, not even close!

I've learned that if it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck then your 2 year old knows it's a duck. So, if a pull-up looks like a diaper, feels like a diaper, gets thrown away like a diaper than your 2 year old will pee in it like it's a diaper! They're not stupid.
When Adam is in his big boy underpants he understand (because of me repeating it over and over) that he is not supposed to pee in them. I still have to remind him to use the potty every 20-30 minutes but after a while I know that he will figure it out himself. It just takes persistence. I love it when a puzzle comes together and makes sense!

Goodbye diapers

Adam went all day today without peeing in his underpants! And he woke up from his nap dry!!
I don't know how this happened, but I'm glad that my perisistence is paying off. Now to figure out how to stop nightime peeing.

Goodbye diapers GOODBYE!

I learn something new everyday

This is what I learned today and am apalled at this fact.

Nestle who manufactures Enfamil infant formula takes samples of their formula into third world countries for the new moms to "try". They give them just enough samples so that when the free formula is all gone the mother's milk has dried up. In turn these poor mothers can not afford to buy the formula so they have to cut back on feeding their infant children and many die from malnutrition and severe infant diarrhea.

I don't know how anyone can live with themselves after doing such an awful thing, to be a known baby killer!?!?! I know they're rolling in money now but pretty soon they'll be burning in Hell.
