this morning, rex came over to me holding a cup from his play kitchen. he said "let me see your boo-boo." at first, i had no idea what he meant, i didn't have any boo-boos! then i made up a boo-boo and pointed to my arm - "oh here it is!" he said "oh ok!" and put the open end of the cup over my pretend boo-boo and said "ssssshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhuup - all better". he had fixed my boo-boo! i can't believe he's pretending like this already!!!

in other rex news, we're having a potty breakthrough day! before work, neal told rex "poop in the potty, not in your underwear!" rex replied "no i poop on the floor!"  he had a teeny-tiny poop in his underwear this morning. i grabbed him and said, 'we poop on the potty!" he replied "NO! i wanna poop on the floor!" then while we were at safina and emery's house playing, he told me "poopoo!" we hurried into the bathroom and he had already started going, but the poop got in the potty! when it went in the toilet it made a noise - he looked up at me, very surprised, and said "ploink!" it gave me a good laugh! he went poop on the potty before nap as well, this time he did it all on the potty - no underwear business! when it fell in the toilet, he exlaimed "PLOINK!" and laughed. he's such a boy! when he got up from nap, (his pull-up was wet) he peed on the potty and when i told him he was done, he looked up questioningly and asked "no ploink?" i love this kid!!

malloy was pretty cranky this morning, she even sat in time out at the gym! i had a talk with her before we went to safina's and told her that if she was cranky we would leave. that seemed to do the trick!

after dinner, we went to anderson's to celebrate rex's poop in the potty! after bath, i found rex in his room in the corner pooping in his underwear! booo! baby steps...

the kids had a rough time going to bed but neal was in charge of them and their antics so mommy could go to bed early!!!

making the bed nice and cozy

just wanted to document malloy's wall peeling
