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.
