the perks of “mommyhood”
“Mommy….come see, come see…”
I hear Will from upstairs calling me to come look at his poo in the toilet. Yes, I know that sounds disgusting…..and yes… we are sort of WELL PAST our potty training…(that means that we no longer bestow rewards for using the potty)… but we are still receiving residuals from the entire experience(meaning we still have to look at it before it’s flushed)… and as gross as it may seem… I’d rather look at it from afar than have to get my hands all in it… if you know what I mean. So I leave my comfy couch (it’s room time/rest time–the only time of the day i get to sit down, really… the kids are ONLY allowed out of their rooms if they have to use the bathroom….just FYI before you start to think that I sit on my couch and eat bon-bons all day….jk!) Anyway… so I go upstairs…the butterflies are aflyin’ inside… I’m always trying to prepare myself for what lies awaiting my approval. I make it to the top of the stairs… a bright blue eyed little boy…all smiles…is waiting… “come on”…(giggle, giggle…)… he runs along ahead…. I turn the corner. He’s now pointing into the potty.
My jaw drops. literally. And this reaction is not as an overproduction for my four year old son. It has dropped in sheer amazement. I honestly don’t know how he managed to birth this thing. I would have needed at least an epidural to even give it a shot. I’m not going to go into any further detail because my mamma taught me better than to literally write about poop…. but there are few times in my life when I’ve been rendered speechless. This was one of those times. A very proud four year old interrupted my silenced moment with “Mom, It’s the biggest poop of my life!” Sensing that he wanted a verbal response from me….I responded with the only words I could find, “Will, I think it’s the biggest poop of MY life.”
Later that day at bath time Josh runs into the bathroom and says “Poopie” then belly laughs and runs away.
What did I do? I died laughing. Such is our life. 
I just have the sillies tonight. My brain is having issues today. Chris has been off all day… he worked all weekend… I keep thinking it’s Friday. I’ve been telling everyone to have a good weekend. My precious neighbor brought the boys some chocolate bunnies for Easter and when she left I said, “Have a great weekend.” She said… “oh, I’ll probably see you before then.” I was like, what’s she going to do..stalk me all weekend… then I realized that it’s MONDAY. ok… so nothing enlightening or spiritual in this blog…. just me. me and my hubs are sitting on the couch eatin’ some honey wheat braided twists pretzels… I think some kind of sports thing is on… we just be hangin’. ok… I really need to head on outta here….. bye peeps
