Things like....
"The speaker isn't broken. It just sounds funny because there is a hot dog in it."
"These diapers are amazing! Look how much poop they held!"
"He's throwing a fit because I wouldn't let him play in the kitty litter."
"Child, hold still. I can't tell if I'm actually clipping a nail or just cutting off dirt."
"Sunday night trash smells the worst- like dirty diapers and popcorn."
But today is a special day. Today I celebrate being able to say something that I have often felt that I would never get to say.
And after almost 18 long months here it is...
Over the weekend we took the kids to the waterpark to celebrate a giant accomplishment.
Rachel finally completed her potty training chart.
Rachel is potty trained.
 |
| Here she is...the star of the show. |
 |
| At the waterpark! It sounds a bit ironic to celebrate potty training by going to a waterpark, right? It was our last resort and it worked. |
 |
| Something must have struck him as way awesome. |
And to ensure that we started our weekend properly, the kids played in the leaves before we left for the hotel and waterpark. I may have had an ulterior motive (sleep in the car). But hey, they had fun.
Interesting side note, this weekend we discovered the magical phenomenon known as the "hotel suite"- one room for parents (with TV) and one for the children (with TV and kitchenette). Our lives are forever changed.
 |
| Ryan's first leaf-playing experience. He was super excited. |
 |
| I'm not even sure where Rachel got the idea to use her rake. She's never seen us rake leaves (or use an ironing board, for that matter) |
 |
| Rachel raked the leaves and Ryan watched/threw them. |
 |
| They figured out that it was also fun to throw the leaves and let the wind catch them. Which, interestingly enough, is also how we usually "rake" our leaves. Yea for wind. |
 |
| mid roll-in-the-pile, I believe |
 |
| One more toss into the wind and then inside to finish packing |
 |
| The post-weekend family time. |
