What my kids have to say...

Part of our daily bedtime routine is to ask the kids for their favorite part of the day. These are big boy's responses from the last few days:

• "My favorite part was when Daddy came home"
• "My favorite part was helping Daddy to go to work"
• "My favorite part was before Daddy went to work and after he came home"

I see a pattern here. Do you? I'm very happy that my son likes his Daddy so much, but I'm starting to feel a little bit like chop liver, especially since he insists that Daddy is HIS Daddy only, whereas I am his sisters' Mommy, not his. Oh, it's going to be fun times when Dear Husband leaves for a month soon!

Big girl still isn't potty trained. She will pee on the toilet when we make her go, but she doesn't tell us when she has to go. And she has only once pooped on the toilet. So we keep trying, which sometimes means that we spend 20 minutes or so in the bathroom. Big boy is very helpful in cheering her on, but occasionally the conversation turns south...
"Sister, are you making poop?"
"Yes, I'm making a biiig poop!"
"I'm going to make a big poop too!"
"I'm going to make a humangous poop!"
"You don't have a pee pee!"
"Oh! Where did it go?"

Big boy has been paying attention in church. But it seems he is more impressed with his favorite TV show. He's been singing "Gloria! Gloria! In excelsis Diego..."
