JUST A FEW REASONS WHY I COULD USE A GOOD BOTTLE OF WINE.
1. PICTURE DAY. Need I say more. It's intense, no matter what. A little humor though...We finally make it to the mall, as we're trying to get the kids clothes changed the lady behind the desk is entering our info into the computer. She asks Blake for Gwyneth's date of birth. "November," he says. I look at him like he's crazy and confidently say, "no, it's September." So she changes it to September. Then he looks at me and quietly says Gwyneth was born in October. "Yeah, she was born in October." We did get some good phots that I can't wait to share.
2. BIG BOY BED. As I'm typing this I think Wilder may have fallen asleep in his new bed by himself for the first time. Shh, we'll see how long he makes it. After one night of trying and not very much sleep for anyone last Sunday we decided to put him back in his crib. We quickly learned that cold turkey wasn't the way to go. So now he has both beds in this room so he can make the transition himself. Thank you Jessica for letting us borrow your crib for Gwyneth in the meantime. A lesson that it seems like I'm learning a lot lately - You can't force kids to do everything (although I did make wilder brush his teeth tonignt). I was on a big potty training kick but soon realized it was more for me than for Wilder. So I guess I'll wait until he's ready.
3. POOP. Cloth diapers have been ok. I've been willing to do the extra laundry. Now that Gwyn is pretty consistently on solids well you know what that means for the diapers. No more just throwing them into the wash and it all rinsing out. Before Gwyn was born I obsessed about getting this sprayer that attaches to my toilet just for this occasion (solid poop). Easy, you just spray into the toilet and flush. The stupid sprayer totally leaks and soaks my bathroom floor when I use it. So, now I've been going to the front yard and using the waterhose. It actually works really well but sometimes I splash myself in the face. I actually just sprayed one before sitting down to write this and I think I got a little in my mouth.
In other news...
1. INTERVIEW AT RIVERFIELD. Well I think it went pretty good. I know I am being considered, I just don't know how many applicants I'm up against. I am really excited about this school and I hope things work out. If not, that's ok too. I'll go on about the details if I get it!
2. My baby brother is getting married Sunday! Should be a good time! And I have a new dress and haircut for the occasion. Blake and I are also celebrating our 5 Year wedding anniversary this Saturday.

Is that the school by our house?

Poop in the mouth? I think I will stick to disposable :)
The birthday thing is too funny. I consistently forget what year Lauryn was born, and always tell them wrong at the Dr's office. They think I'm a loon. And when I have three kids at the Dr...I generally AM a loon!
Lol...I am cracking up. Those are some very good reasons for needing a bottle of wine (or maybe two)! Especially both parents forgetting the birth month of their own child, haha...oh the craziness that exhaustion can cause! I can't wait to see their pics. Sorry I didn't call you back the other day. With getting ready for my friend's wedding, trying to prepare Miles for nearly two whole days away from home, and the daily grind, I have been hard pressed for a spare moment. I'm glad to hear that the interview went well! Oh, and you win the debate...I was NOT at the mall Wednesday! I suppose she was an impostor. Have a great weekend and hopefully chat with you soon!
Can't you just stick the diaper in the toilett and hang on to one corner of it and keep flushing? That is how I did cloth diapers in the old days!
Aunt Janet
That's not a bad idea Janet! We'll see how that works. Might save me some neighborhood embarrassment!
So funny and true...what you said about the nursing bras!! Yes, and apparently, in addition to not being able to hold a conversation, I am also too lazy to perform a spell check to find out that wean is wean not ween. What a nerd I am...I knew it looked weird!
I hope you guys had a GREAT weekend. Lets plan to get together with Holly this week...
Happy 5 year anniversary! And my hair has finally grown out from that awful haircut I got just prior to your big day. ;)
I love the diaper story. I got a bunch of them for Hannah but they kept giving her a wicked diaper rash, so they sit peacefully awaiting a natural disaster where I would be forced to use them instead of disposables. Sigh. Good intentions anyway!
So, you're looking to teach art, eh? I'll have to keep my ears open.
I applaud all moms who use cloth diapers, but I also vividly recall having to rinse and then wash my little sister's diapers in the toilet. We used the index - thumb grasp, while dunking and flushing repeatedly (and gagging for Mom's benefit).
Have you tried those inserts? One of my Super Mom friends (5 kids!) has used cloth on all of her kids and swears by the disposable inserts that trap those elusive solids.
Far better than poo in the mouth :D
