the boss’ birthday

he’s two

and absolutely

FABULOUS

he draws mini circles

rides a scooter or anything with wheels

he’s still a bit less than verbose

a joy to all who meet him

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

FUNNY MONDAY

funny in a sad way….this was my breakfast NEW YEAR morning…..i know i know i know i know

the foods above are rare in my home, in fact

I NEVER have

CAPTAIN CRUNCH or KOOLAID in the house

not to mention eating it all + pizza for breakfast

i started the new year as a “garbage gut”

{saying stolen from a Dial}

oh man

how many ways will this pregnancy wreck my body…sense…and resolve ?

hope you have something actually FUNNY to share

although just looking at those foods together, apart from making my stomach turn seems to induce a bit of giggling

your turn

the strong silent type

oh my Chaucer, this boy is truly one of a kind

we’ve spent the last couple of days in the midst of POTTY TRAINING

which has consisted of the parents coaxing interest…then catching accidents

each time he’s been caught in the act we’ve rushed him to the potty & NOTHING

no not only NOTHING

but NOTHING

it’s seemed that he didn’t really even understand what we were talking about

so we thought yesterday would be the last day we’d try the potty thing….then wait a bit

but last night

HE WENT

he did it, like it was nothing, like he’d never thought of anything but going to the potty

you see the problem we have…..that we’ve not ever had as potty trainers before… is that THIS boy refrains from almost all forms of communication

and we're pretty sure it’s not because he CAN’T when I say refrain that is what it actually looks like

like he is just choosing not to speak….I say this with confidence because the other morning the wee one climbed in bed with me & said

“ MOM, where’s DADDY ?” as if this kind of communicative banter back and forth is a regular occurrence

however he chooses not to communicate often….what for we know not…but i digress

so this morning after breakfast the boss wandered into the bathroom… i checked on him & he was just playing with his potty, hiding his cup underneath it, kicking it around the bathroom…stuff like that so we all went about our morning until Emme announced that she needed to POOP ( which ***always*** requires and announcement…..for what reason, I'll never know)

She came SQUEALLING from the bathroom

“CHAUCER JUST WENT POOP IN HIS POTTY, I CAN SMELL IT !”

keep in mind that the boss had only peed in his potty once prior to this mornings evacuation…we {the parents} rushed the bathroom & began to praise his efforts…he looked up at us like we were CRAZY….as if to say { if he did care to speak it} “ yeah, where else should I have done this?”

so I am now more astonished with my little less than verbose fellow

and the rest is yet to come…will he continue to make use of the little black receptacle or not we’ve yet to see stay tuned
