A rant about pee

I had an epiphany.

We let Murphy out side to do his thing and now we include Jack. Jack uses the potty every day for a #2 but not so much #1. He has decided that peeing off the back patio is the way to go. This is all well and good until it occurred to me that he may attempt this move at daycare. Peeing on the playground won't go over well.

Tonight I will try and train him that he HAS to go in the toilet. It's not like I can explain to him that it's okay to go outside at home but not school. Reasoning with a 2 year old-yeah right.

Father's Day 2009

 

 

 

 

Every Father's Day Jack and JP paint an 8 x 10 canvas together. Here is a sneak-peek of the hot-mess 2009 quickly became. Oh-and after a few paint drops hit the table I decided to get creative. Can't help myself. My pictures to come tomorrow.

Suggested Listening

Jack is starting to sing along so it must be catchy.

Alice in Wonderland

I can not TELL you how excited I am for Tim Burton's version of Alice in Wonderland to come out. Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter, Tim Burton--my fave trio. It doesn't come out until March 2010 but I already have a date with Christie and Brahbrah (aka Barbara). Check out Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter. Oooooooh I am sooooooo ready!

June twenty two

Summer has treated us well. Between the fence, fire pit, Jack's kiddie pool and JP's new projector we have had (and plan on having more) fun. It's been nice to kick back on the porch and watch Jack play. He has stepped on 2 bees and now understands why I insist on wearing shoes--even though I don't like wearing them either.

Daycare has been fine and we have actually made better daycare friends. We have gone on a few "dates" with a little girl named Kay-Kay and we are planning on hanging out some with the Langfords soon.

Jean and I had our 5th anniversary. We booked a room at the new Embassy and Kris bought us tickets to Gogol Bordello. How cool is that?

I am still digging my new job and am finding life with less stress is great! I did not realize the stress I was under until I got away. I think the same goes for Dr.B. We both would have done this much sooner had we known better. I think we kept each other anchored-and that made it okay. I don't have the same responsibilities I had before...but in some ways I have more. It's just different. And fabulous.

JP has been a little stressed with his job lately. I think he is his worst critic and nothing is ever good enough. Even with the house-he is constantly looking at things to improve. It's exhausting to feel that way all the time. I think he may need a vacation.

On that note--cross your fingers for a trip to Florida. We need it.
