Sadie Goes Poo-Poo

by

I haven’t changed a dirty diaper all week… I have picked up crap out of the floor after Sadie decided she couldn’t wait for to finish cooking dinner, but when your 20-month-old decides she’s ready to potty train, you just go with the flow, (or the plop as it happened.) I couldn’t help but take her picture. She is so freakin serious and she totally knows what she’s doing. I’ll ask her if she’s finished and she’ll, “No. I poo-poo moh, Momma.” And she means it.
So I took her picture, which I’m sure she will love me for when she’s about 12. Then I sat down to pee (relax people, we all do it… ) Sadie grabbed my legs just like I hold her fat little legs to keep her from falling in the potty and yelled, “HOLD YOU MOMMA!”

It cracked me up, so I took a picture. Yes, while I was peeing. I’m a mother. I know how to multi-task. I wonder if she tells her friends about holding on to my fat little legs when I pee…

Mommy Tips: Toothpaste & Plastic Wrap

by

Toothpaste is not good for eczema. Sadie has been slathering herself down with it daily for the last 3 days and it looks like she stepped in an ant bed. I keep thinking I’ve gotten it all out of her reach and then I turn around and her legs are solid white and minty fresh.

On a different note, Emma, my 4-year-old, has discovered something new she loves to do. She loves to poke her finger through the plastic wrap of everything in the grocery store. You know the little styrofoam trays of broccoli? POP! Trays of cauliflower and squash? POP! Trays of grapes? POP! Trays of raw steak, hamburger and chicken? Pop! Pop! POP!

She’s so freakin’ fast! I hear a cacophony (great word by the way) of popping behind me and before I know it, every prepackaged tray of food within arms reach has been violated. My mommy tip? Look for holes in the plastic wrap and wash your food. I’d hate to even guess where that finger has been…
