I'm 30.

That's me. Or how old I am, at least. I had plans to draw a huge sidewalk chalk "30" for this blog post, but the daughter who never gets sick is. So, I settled for a fuchsia "30" on a steno pad while coloring with Son.

Last night Husband made these fabulous Chocolate Olive Oil and Blood Orange Cupcakes. um, wow. that's a long name. That taste really great. Especially if you like oranges and chocolate together. Anyway, here's 10 of the 12. That's right. I had one last night when they were still warm and one this morning for breakfast. The kids iced them. And they loved helping.

After the icing fun was over, Husband gave Son a small bowl of the leftover icing to eat. He takes it to the living room, sits in his little chair and watches Yo Gabba Gabba! The episode about personal hygiene. There's a song about magic shampoo or something of the sort. And my precious little daisy of a child uses his icing as a magic shampoo. seriously.
I wish we got a better picture. He really lathered that pink magic icing shampoo in there good.
Never in my life did I ever think I'd use the phrase, "That's a no-no. Icing is to eat. Not for shampoo. Come on, let's go wash your hair." sigh. It's hard to get mad at well intentioned toddlers who think they are doing the right thing.

p.s. Son has discovered the art of urinating standing up. Which means he's not using the toilet anymore but is back to his little potty. At least he's excited about the potty.

I love cloth diapers ... a lot


I'll miss them. but my love for fully potty trained children will eclipse the sadness of saying goodbye to cloth diapers.

Son is in the midst of potty training. He loves to do his business in the potty and loves to cheer and give high fives. (plus somehow I've managed to not give reward treats to him. Remember, Daughter got a Hershey Kiss? It's nice that cheers and high fives are reward enough for him)

But potty training means lots of wet underwear. (He picked out a 6 pack of dinosaur briefs, he loves to wear them but forgets their purpose a lot) And LOTS of exclamations about how happy I am we have hardwood floors.

seriously, any mom who has ever potty trained with carpet - you deserve a medal. They hand out mom medals don't they? Well, they should.

not me - a couple of weeks coming


TWO WEEKS AGO: I was not so lazy that instead of washing Daughter's cloth diapers or even going to the store to get some disposables, that I actually let her wear swim diapers around the house for a whole day. nope, I didn't do that.

TODAY: now that Daughter is using her potty on a very regular basis, she only uses two diapers a day. even less incentive for me to want to wash diapers every other day. with Son the only person who wears them, I have even less desire to wash them.

I don't have a case of the laundry lazies. nope. definitely not me.
