The joys of being a mother.

Last night Chas and I were talking, I told him thanks for going to work everyday, I couldn't. He said thanks for staying home, I couldn't do that either. So he said see we make a perfect match. BUT today I think I could go to work for the day anyway, let me tell you what my sweet little 2 year old did. We are in the middle of potty training, OH JOY, that in and of itself is always interesting, so he had an accident, but just a little bit so I stand him in front of the toilet on his stool and tell him to try and go more. He says, "Out Mom" so I sneek out the door, just outside so I can monitor him, he doesn't go, so I go in and try to get him down. "Out Mom" he says again, and he stand back up on the stool. So Icome into the kitchen to out the muffins in the oven and I hear a big crash, but he is not crying so I finish up what I am doing. Then he comes out with something all over his hand, what the heck???? What is that??? Yup you all know, poop! So I go in the bathroom it's all over the bathtub, ground into the rug and on the floor, plus there all little poop footprints all the way into the kitchen. And that my friends is included on the list of Joys of Being a Mother. Talk about gross, on the plus side, last time I had to clean up a major poop mess I was pregnant and throwing up in the bathtub while cleaning it out. So at least I didn't have to deal with that this morning as well. Happy Monday to ya'll!!

Brooklyn or Emree?

Brooklyn or Emree?
Just thought you all might like to see how much Brooklyn and Emree look alike, its kind of scary actually! Especially that Emree wears all the clothes that Brooklyn used to wear, I better make sure I get the right name to the right picture in the scrapbooks...well photo albums anyway. This is Brooklyn when she was 10 months old!

First day of School!

Funny Story 1

Well I haveto share this funny story about Brooklyn. There is a little girl in our primary who got her appendix out shortly after she was baptized and showed Brooklyn her scar, so here is Brooklyn's conversation with me the other day. Brooklyn: "Mom I don't think I want to get baptized." Me: "Why not?" Brook: "It's too scary." And I'm thinking she loves the water, what is the problem? Me: "Whats scary about it?" Brook: "I don't want to go to the hospital and be cut open after I am baptized." I started laughing!!! "You think everyone has to be cut open after they get baptized?" Brook: yes, Jenny did and she even showed me her scar. So I had to explain to her that that was not part of getting baptized, it just happened that it was close to the same time with Jenny. I thought it was so hilarious, you never know what your kids are actually thinking!!

What a handsome boy!
