Daddy's at Work

Lucy is doing so well at going potty in the toilet.  I am so proud of her and glad that she has finally decided to stick with it.  The other day I found Lucy sitting on the toilet in my bathroom.

Me:  Lucy, are you doing OK?
Lucy:  Yes!  I got a lot of poop out.
Me:  That's good.
Lucy:  There are lots of babies and a big Mommy. (Pause)  But not a Dad....because he was at work!

Lucy's Secret

Potty training has been such a difficult thing for Lucy me lately.  She refuses to sit on the toilet and will run and hide to do her business in her pull up.  Just this morning we were gathered around the breakfast table kneeling down to have morning prayer and everyone was there except for Lucy.  When she never came Adam left to go and find her.  Adam and Lucy finally made it back to the table.

Fred: Daddy, where was she?
Dad: (a little frustrated) In the closet going poop in her diaper.
(Adam and I exchange a glance and I shake my head.)
Lucy: Ughhhhh Daddy!  How did you know?  It was supposed to be a secret!

Blond Hair

Like Rapunzel, Daisy's hair has gotten nice and long, is blonde, and is very pretty.  Often times when we do her hair in the morning she refuses a ponytail and says she just wants to wear it long.  Lucy's blond hair is growing too but still usually looks best pulled back.  The other day when Adam asked Lucy if she wanted a ponytail or a braid in her hair she said she didn't want either she just wanted to wear it "BLONDE."

Elsie's Favorite

It was dinner time and I really needed to get dinner finished up before Adam got home from work but Elsie was needing a little more attention than usual.  I put her in her exersaucer that she had just received for Christmas hoping that it would entertain her for awhile.  That was not the case.  Feeling a little frustrated I commented, "You are already tired of your new toy?  You don't like it anymore?"  Fred heard me and piped up, "No, Mom!  She still likes it.  She just likes YOU better!"  I think he is probably right. ;)
