Sick, Busy, Updates

My once regular blogging has taken a back seat to our (or my) crazy schedule. I'm teaching a couple of night classes that are maintaining my coffee addiction. Nothing really new happening right now. Our biggest excitement right now is that Emma is a "pooping in the potty champion". Yesterday she yelled out to me "Mommy, I poop'ied in the potty. Bring me my chocolate and call daddy" That's right. Sound the parade! The poor girl has been home sick for two days with some type of flu. Yesterday she said, "Mommy I'm sick. My throat hurts. I need to go see Dr. Boel"

Paging Dr. Emma
Band aid for my boo-boo

Me: "Emma do you want to talk to nanny (on the phone)?"
Emma: "No!"
Me: "Do you want to talk to Bubba?"
Emma: "NO!"
Me: "Do you want to talk to Sponge Bob?"
Emma: "YES!!!!!!!!!!!"

Poopy in the Potty

Emma has been peeing in the potty like a champ. She was too scared to poop in the potty until today! All it took was a shortage of pull ups and a little help from "Llama Llama Mad at Momma"



She was pretty proud of her poopy progress. We danced and celebrated. We called and left messages for our family....and we refused to flush it until daddy got home to see the prize :) I'm pretty sure this blog post won't be cute when she gets older, but for right now, she wants the world to know that Emma poops in the potty!

Things I've learned as a parent...

If your child is trying to convince you that they are NOT eating Play-Doh and you haven't even asked....they are probably eating Play-Doh.

Not sure? No problem. The explosive and green diarrhea will confirm your suspicions.
