Infectious

There are a lot of things about my Addy Joy that are infectious, like her little laugh, her smile, the way she says ug, and puts her arms around your neck for a hug.
Her energy, the girl is my climber she scrambles up anything and everything like a little goat, yesterday she quickly ascended the changing table then managed to pull herself standing in the window, yes, the little small window in her bedroom, clinging to the glass, feet on the window sill. But another thing about her that is infectious is her germs. Particularly the germs from her mouth, see if she is pulling herself up on something she will often times use her teeth to help her achieve her goal, well last week her goal was climbing me. I received two little teeth marks in my left shoulder that resemble more of a snake bite then anything.
well, thinking nothing of it I didn't take care of it properly. So a few days ago I realize that its really red, and sore and that actually my whole shoulder is even sort of stiff and sore to move. Not to mention the pockets of puss and the red lines branching off from it. But have no fear Dr. Danyelle has been treating herself successfully and it seems to be improving. However, this has been a good lesson for me on Addys infectious capabilities.

Girly Girl

Last night we decided to try eating at Noodles & CO.
EmmaJean was loving her mac and cheese and exclaimed,
"this is were I will always eat after shopping all day!"

A.B.C.

Whats grosser then gross?

Realizing as you walk through the grocery store, that your son is chewing a piece of gum, that you did not give him.

Achieved

I think I can safely say that we have achieved success. Which of course now that is said I am sure some set back somehow will occur. He does super great at home, nap times, bed times and in the car. And when away from home and afraid to use a public potty, well, so far he seems to hold it well! We have not had any diapers for a whole week and I was so thrilled when I went to the store and only had to buy 1 package. Which of course I will only get to enjoy this feeling for so long before I am back to 2 I know, but for now we will enjoy this luxury. Way to go Brennon, who knew the sound of urine streams and plops in the toilet could make a mom so happy!

P.T. Day 5

We have achieved overnight dry success!
But I have to give you yet, another conversation which of course, involves poop.

Two tiny little poops fall to the floor as brennon is getting on the potty

"Oops, Brennon did we have an accident?"
"nope, they just fell out a little"
"hmm, I see that"
"I think we should put them in there" (pointing at the toilet)
"yes, do you want to do it? or should mommy"
"ummm, I think mommy, because poop is yucky and we don't eat it right?"

P.T. Days 2-4

So I've waded my way through the pile of laundry and have found a moment to give you an update. Let me first say that the bribing of M&M's was only effective for EmmaJean. Who took it upon herself to remind us to hand out the M&M's to everyone each time Brennon completed his task. Which then lead to her taking on the role of mother by asking brennon every few minutes if he had to go, then trying to watch him in the bathroom to make sure he did. We have now put a stop to that, the poor boy needs his space. Still, so far so good. I can't complain to much, the only car accident we had was due to the fact we were stopped by a train, dang train!

Today was a milestone day. After 4 days of not pooping, and then this morning complaining that his tummy hurt, and me explaining why...whoohooo he made it!!!!
which then lead to this conversation:

"I think my poopy is ice cream"
"why do you think that?"
"because its brown, like ice cream"

P.T. Day 1

So far so good. I am actually pretty pleased with this day one. my worry is days 2 and 3. We decided to abandon any social activities this weekend and focus on Brennon and potty training. So as I said...So far so good.

"Brennon, is your pee coming out?"
"Nope, I think my penis is mad"
