captain underpants!

that is the new name mommy came up with for me today. there is a book by this name and neither of us has read it, but she likes calling me captain underpants and i, quite frankly, enjoy being called captain underpants. today mommy decided there would be no more diapers or pull ups for me during the day any more. oh yeah, the teachers at school were thuh-rilled when she brought me to school with 4 pairs of undies and 4 pairs of shorts and said "we're doing underpants now. just do the best you can." you see, i still don't really have this potty thing down. in fact, since the novelty has worn off, i would say my enthusiasm for this little duty (duty--heh hehe heh) has diminished a bit. so i am not really sure why we are suddenly into the underpants. i certainly knew right away when i was standing in the tomato plants that i peed. i kept my pullups dry the other day all the way from raleigh to home---i peed in every bathroom i could get the old lady to stop at. maybe that is why i am captain underpants.

mommy picked me up from school friday and we took a road trip to raleigh, where we were going to spend the weekend with daddy. we stayed in a little house called a hotel room and it had one bed and a little fridge and people on the other side of the wall that i couldn't see. i thought i would love raleigh, because daddy is there, but it turns out i hate it. the house in raleigh is no fun and even though i got to sleep with mommy and daddy, i couldn't sleep so me and mommy went outside at 2:30 in the morning, but it wasn't morning because it was dark and daddy said everyone could hear us and she wouldn't let me climb up and down the stairs. so, we went out to breakfast with daddy and me and mommy left.

then we stopped at the outlets because mommy wanted to buy me some more shorts (now i know why) but it turns out, in july, all you can buy is winter stuff. you can't buy shorts in july. of course. so, i didn't get any. but, i went to a store called "harry & david" and they had these blueberry candies that have renewed my interest in learning to use the potty. mommy let me have some in the store and when i told her i loved them, she bought a bag and said i could have some everytime i used the potty and my pullups were dry. of course, now she means underpants, but on saturday she meant pullups. but that is a pretty hard job, using the potty AND having dry pullups. but like i said---my pullups were BONE DRY all the way home.

pretty soon we are going on vacation and auntie laura and conor are coming to visit also. and we are going to see uncle dave and nona and gramma papa and aunt kendra and all my cousins except i don't really like the beach because i am afraid of sharks. but you know what? today i told mommy skin starts with the letter "s" she was very excited and called daddy. i would have thought she knew skin started with the letter "s" but you never really know with her. mommy made this crap called tempeh for dinner so we ended up going out for a burger instead. well, mommy has to get up and 5 then get me up at 6 so we can get me to school and her off to work so i have to go get my rest so i have energy and mommy needs to read harry potter even though she already read the last page.

no clever title

i forgot to write comments on my pictures. do you notice how mom is sitting back and letting me, her small child, do all the work? it's a good thing i have my sippy cup on a bungee in front of me. hey guess what! mom decided to keep me home from school today. daddy is in raleigh working, so i have to be at school from very early to very late, because mommy has to go to work. it is very horrible and i think i have bad parents. so, since mommy feels bad about it, she decided to keep me home from school today to hang out with her.
and guess what.
i woke up with a sore throat and we went to the doctor and they said i have strep throat and i have medicine that tasted good and now i feel better but mommy said i can't go to the beach with jackson tomorrow because i might give him my throat but i don't think that is true because i don't share very well, i would keep it to myself and my daddy is coming home today after the sun goes down so i will wack golf balls with daddy and not go to the beach because i feel better and can eat popsicles. AND i went peepee in the potty and kept my pullups dry so i got to get m&ms. i'm 2 and ozzy rules.

if you say it, i will say it

and if it cracks you up when i say it, then i will say it alot. for example, mother put her hand up with tallman and ring man bent down with pinky, index and thumb remain up. then she yelled something that sounded like 'ozzy rules!" it makes this simple woman so happy when i do these types of things, so i appease her by running around with the hand up in that way saying "ozzy rules'.

i can also imitate apparently an old commercial where a little girl says "it's shake n bake and aahh hay-yelped"

i really like knives. have i told you this? i am allowed to use gentle knives. but i am fascinated by all things knife.

the potty thing. my best guess 50-50. you know, sometimes they put me in diapers, sometimes pullups sometimes underear, sometimes i got my goodies out for the world to see. i don't know mommy's feelings about my using the potty. i mean i know she wants me to but if i don't she's like, "oh well, remember next time" do you think she needs to be tougher to get me to remember/ she says i'll figure it out that i am almost there. i am suspissing that she is being her typical lazy self (please please please don't tell mom i said that about her) and is waiting for me to train myself. how stupid is that?! she offers the opportunities and it is up to me to take them. also several mornings after sleeping all night long i woke up with a dry diaper which mom got super excited about. wait. i think i have to go peepeeinthepotty







ozzy rules shake bake and i helped gentle knifes

note to self. really look at web site i have meeting tomorrow potty traininsd gram pop trip

why is water wet?

holy crap. has it really been that long since i've posted?! that is a dumb question, isn't it? what happens if i post? what happens if i don't? what happens if i ask a question? why? WHY?

what is that?

a fountain.

what does it do?

it sprays water?

for decoration.

why is it a decoration?

it's just water. it's pretty to look at. the birds like it.

what IS water?

2 hydrogens and an oxygen.

you get the idea. constant. and when i say constant, i don't mean, just really often. i mean, con-stant!

hey, guess what i did on the forth of july? you can't guess. i will try to post a picture, but i went kayacking!!!!!!!!! oh yes i did! it was the funnest thing ever. i even got to paddle. miss michelle from mommy's work has 3 kayacks so me and mommy rode in one and now me and mommy and daddy want to buy our own. then at night, while we were in the house eating vegetarian burgers and broccoli cooked on the george forman while the rest of the world ate hot dogs and corn on the cob cooked on a grill, the fireworks started (they are legal here). i do not, i repeat, do NOT like fireworks. so, i got to sleep in mommy and daddy's bed.

oh a way before, my mommy's friend auntie kim came from california for a visit. she is sooooooo pretty. it's nice when we have visitors in my house. i like to wake them up.

oh yea, a while ago, after kim left, me and daddy went, just the 2 of us without mommy, mommy stayed home because she had to work, to see gramma and papa in the mountains and we went on a hike and saw waterfalls. and i helped papa cook hamburgers. it was so fun, i can show you some pictures of that trip too. well, too tired to write more even tho there is more to say. i am doing great on potty training. sometimes i go poopoo or peepee in my pullup or underpants , but sometimes i use the potty too.. and then i can sing the" poo pee in the potty' dance. and i get m&ms when i keep my pullups dry or go poop in the potty. speaking of...............
