Potty in da House

This maybe a bit odd, but yesterday I was thinking about all the diapers I change during the day. I would say that from the time Cole and Parker wake up, to the time they go to bed, I change about five diapers each. Out of those ten, two usually have poop, and from what I gathered yesterday, Parker seems to poop in the morning and Cole mid-afternoon.

This past Sunday my mom suggested that I buy two potty trainers and go to the bathroom with them first thing in the morning. At seven months, the point was NOT to get them to poop, but get them used to the idea of using the bathroom after waking up. Eventually, this process shoulds make potty training a bit easier. Seeing as I have no problems using to the John, I figured my mom knew what she was talking about.

So, this morning, I did just that and to what amazement! Holy Crap! Call it luck or just the right timing but Parker not only peed, but pooped in the potty. Damn, was I proud!! Chances are that it was just coincidence, but at least, I hope that Parker can make a correlation between his actions and my reaction. I only pray and hope that this miracle happens repeatedly as there is nothing worse than wiping squishy poop off a baby's ass. And truth be told, I hear that the poop gets bigger and smellier as they get older.

Oh, and as for Cole, well, he may need some work. He can't sit still for anything and gets mad at everything and anything. With him, the grass is always greener on the other side. My poor little man! I am sure he will excel in sports.

I guess I was so excited about the whole potty thing this morning that I almost burned the house down! The sad thing was that Mark reminded me about opening the chimney flute before starting a fire.

Sorry Mark! Damn flute! I hate getting old. I just hope I don't fotget one of the kids at the store!

2 things:

1. "photo One"= I think I did him
2. Chimney "Flue"

That's all!

Luv to M, C and P

OMG..THAT WAS FUNNY! I learn something new everyday. And all this time it was a flute! I always wondered why the "T" was silent.

Rubber Ducky You're the One!

Aside from selling a painting, being mentioned in the Tribune and having my art featured in Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, nothing much has happened this weekend.

HA!

All joking aside, it seems that luck has been on my side this weekend as both boys have been sleeping through the night, two days in a row. But, to be honest, I did cheat a little because Cole woke up at 2am on Saturday for about five minutes and I choose not to hear him as I lowered the volume on the monitor.

If you think I am feeling a wee bit guilty about my actions, well, you are mistaken. For the past week or so it has been the same story with Cole. For more than a month, Parker has been able to sleep the whole night through, but Cole has a tendency of waking up whining at exactly 2am every day. So what do I do? I get up change his diaper and make a bottle. But lately, Cole doesn’t seem to care for any milk and falls back asleep as soon as the nipple from the bottle hits his lips. Wasted effort if you ask me.

So, this Saturday I decided to try a little experiment, a different strategy you might say. I decided to let Cole cry and see how long it would take for me to feel guilty and get up, or, see how long it would take for him to fall back asleep. May the best man win!

The answer? After five minutes of crying and whining, Cole was back to snoring. And on Sunday, he just let out a cry and didn’t even bother to to do more. Is this progress? Maybe, just maybe, I have broken a cycle that will lead to better sleep for all invoilved. I guess only time will tell.

Oh, and as a side note, I spent a good hour cutting Parker's hair and trying to make it look cute as hell, only to have my mother chop it when I was not looking. Her excuse was that his bangs were in his eyes. I was pissed and she felt bad. My little Ernie now looks like a porcelain china doll.

For some reason RECTOM came to my mind when I saw this creation.

I don't mean to INSULT your intelligence...but...a rectory is usualy the home or dwelling of a member of the clergy in charge of a parish. And you misspelled rectum.

I purposely mispelled it because I didn't want to insult the pope or any of his minion. I herd that the pope has connections in the HOOD and seeing as i still live their i don't want any heat from his boys. I herd that he was once spotted hanging out with Kanye West and some other hip hop knucklehead, I think it was BIG BUBBY or something.
