Potty training

So far so good with Josh! We have had 3 successful appointments with the potty chair in the last 2 days. Yahoo!

But he does not like his Thomas undies anymore. Sigh. He wants to wear jammies instead of a diaper. Whatever will get is there works for me!

Girls scouts

Last week was the end of the year ceremony for my little daisy and brownie scouts. They had such a good year, we will be repeating the fun next year. And I will be an assistant leader for Juniors. Sigh, wish me luck!!

Anyone know where to get magic patch? I have about 20 new patches to apply to their stuff!


See the paws?? She prances all the time, and going to the bridge ceremony was no
different.

Busted yet again

The other day I heard a beeping noise coming from my fridge. Knowing that meant that Josh and the little boy I babysitt had opened it, I went to investigate. I found them busily tossing eggs on the deck. Thankfully it was outside, and the dog helped by eating much of the mess! At least it was not another 5 spice jars all over the house.

Basic understand

I asked Emily to pick something up off the floor Saturday. She picked it up and I left the room. A few minutes later, I came back and saw the item was now on the counter. Since it was her's I called her over to explain that I wanted her to not only pick it up, but take action and do whatever was necessary, whether that was to throw it away, or to put it away.
She looked mystified at this concept.

Apparently in her very literal mindset, that concept had not connected. While it was a shock to me at first, it made me chuckle later on.

Too Darn Hot!

Emily came home from school with an unusual report from the school nurse. Any visit to the nurse means a copy of the visit is sent home. Emily complained of pain and redness on her bottom. The poor girl had gone down the slide in a skirt, which would be fine except it slid up, and she got a wedgie, and then a burn. Welcome to summer!!
Needless to say, we are not photographing this.

Salt shaker

Yesterday Sydney sweetly helped fill my salt mill as a surprise for me. It had been empty for awhile and she wanted to help. She went with table salt instead of the normal sea salt chunks. When I went to pick it up and pit it away, all the salt came falling out.

Samantha cleaned up at last!

After about three weeks of waiting for the cleaner to work, she is finally restored to glory! Her hair is curled and shiny, her limbs are clean, and she has a lovely new outfit to wear complete with new underthings.

The girls are excited to play this weekend! Laugh if you must, but my inner child is delighted!!
