Makin' me laugh

I caught a couple of laughter moments on camera this week, and they are too funny not to share...warning: bodily functions are discussed!

The girl popped in the potty on Tuesday! I'm thinking it may be partially a fluke, but I'm excited none-the-less. The kids and I were playing with play dough when the girl looked at me, pointed to her diaper and said, "poo." I had been watching her strain so I simply thought she was telling that she had already gone. She pitched a royal fit when I laid her down to change her diaper, and I realized she hadn't gone. I asked if she wanted to go potty, and she got all excited. I put her on the potty and watched her almost fall in until she realized she could lean back. Next thing I know, she's pooping! She was so excited. I had already bought her a little potty to sit on while the boy goes potty (mainly to keep her out of his way), but she really wants nothing to do with that one. She looks too funny sitting on the regular potty - she is just so wee!

Speaking of wee, she had her 15-month checkup today; and her smallness continues to be confirmed. She weighs 18 lbs. 7 oz. which places her below the weight chart for her age! She is 28 3/4 inches long which is the 45%. She definitely makes up for her size in attitude though. My mom pulled my baby book, and the girl is basically the size I was at 18 months so it definitely runs in the family.


Nap times are still hit or miss with the boy, but I do make him rest in his room for a bit. Some days I free him from captivity and let him watch Cars while laying on his Lighting McQueen pillow. I just about fell off the couch when I looked over and caught him in this position. It must be ingrained in the male DNA to put your hand down your pants while watching TV. He's not even 3!!!
