Annika and Jacob have been sick and now I'm getting sick too. I'm not happy about this. A sick toddler is inconvenient and sad, but a sick infant makes me nervous. He has a "wheeze" when he breathes and I'm glad that we're going for his 2 month visit with the doctor.
We read a bunch of potty books and have been watching Elmo and the cast of Sesame Street teach us about the joys of toilet prowess through song. We bought a little potty and we made a big deal about how cool it is. We sat and read and way before we thought it would happen, what do you think we found? Yes, that! (It rhymes with boo!) This was only 5 or so minutes after sitting down! And, this morning, first thing, even before her morning milk, she sat down and did something else! (It rhymes with whee!) She's enjoying the m&ms and I'm enjoying the progress.
If any of you aren't currently enjoying the process of potty training, you should rent Elmo's Potty Time video anyway. These songs are FUNNY! And very creative.
Here is an embarrassing story completely unrelated to sick or peeing kids. (Sorry male in-laws for girly stories.)
I was teaching the Laurels (the 16 and 17 year old girls at church.) and I opened my manual to find that my bookmark was a nursing pad. From nursing. The other adult and I laughed and laughed. The girls were surprised to find that these were needed and slightly alarmed to find that the physical demands of child bearing and rearing never seem to end! Then, yesterday at the store, Annika was emptying my purse into the cart and lost her grip on another nursing pad and threw into the path of an unsuspecting gentleman who, not realizing what it was, picked it up and handed it back to her. It's a good thing that I don't embarrass easily. That is why the theme of my next several posts will involve my silliest moments.

What some call embarrassing, I call everyday life.
My niece's favorite teething toy was a tampon pulled from my sister's purse. Hooray for kiddos, I say.
