Not My Child Monday!!!!!!

Even though McMama is not doing a "Not Me" or "Not My Child Monday", she said that we should go ahead and do ours. Of course this would be the week for the priceless one from my youngest child. There is only one but that is enough, if you know what I mean......

We are trying to introduce the potty and talk about the potty a lot around the house. Daycare is being fabulous with the whole potty idea. They take him every hour and he stands and if nothing happens, he sits. Well, they have the little potties at school. The ones that NO ONE has at home. So at home, we purchased a "Cars" stepstool for him to use in the bathroom. He uses it when he brushes his teeth, washes his hands or is attempting to get in the bathtub on his own. He also uses it when we are "going to the potty". We do just like school. Start with standing and then we sit. Still nothing yet but he is getting the idea.
Last week, I thought I would escape for just a moment and excuse myself to the bathroom. Closed the door and try to be "alone" for just a few minutes. All of the sudden....BAM!!!!! The door flies open and there I sit. Kaleb gets his little step stool. Walks over in front of my and in the sweetest little voice says..."Here ya go mommy". Puts the step stool down and walks out the door. I was absoulutely speechless. All I could say was "Thank you sweetheart". It was just precious. A little embarrassing but precious!!!!!!!!!

Hope you have a GREAT Monday!!!!!!

DOUBLE POST!!! Not Me and Not My Child!!!!

This is going to be good. I have one on me and then one on my child to.
First.......
I DID NOT get ready to prepare dinner on Saturday morning and decide that I would do a "southern breakfast".
I DID NOT get out the pot to make the grits (we are in NC don't forget).
I DID NOT put the butter in the pot, along with the salt and pepper and even cut up the cheese to.
I DID NOT look in the pantry to get out the grits and NOT find them.
I DID NOT look in the refrigerator.
I DID NOT look in the freezer.
I DID NOT look in EVERY SINGLE CABINET in the kitchen.
I DID NOT have my hubby come and look behind me. I had just opened a package the other week and put them in a storage container. I knew I was NOT losing my mind.
I DID NOT on Saturday afternoon while cleaning up the kitchen, discover the above mentioned grits.
I DID NOT put them in the storage container next to the cream and sugar containers that sit next to the coffee pot.
I DID NOT get to make grits this weekend.

My child DID NOT go in the bathroom with my husband while he was working on the floor in the bathroom.
My Child DID NOT find a pair of plyers laying on the floor in the bathroom.

My Child DID NOT pick them up and decide to play them.
My Child DID NOT figure out a way to pinch his belly hard enough, just on the skin that left him crying.
My Child DID NOT walk around and sit in Mommy and Daddy's lap with his shirt raised as high as it would go and talk about his Diego bandaid with a sea turtle on it.



Nope....NOT MY CHILD!!!!!!!!

****BATHROOM UPDATE........It is almost done. The new floor is down and the toliet is almost finished. Just some finishing touches with molding and some other minor things......the FLOOR IS AWESOME!!!!!!! THANKS SO MUCH TO MY AWESOME AND WONDERFUL AND LOVING HUSBAND!!!!!!! ISN'T IT BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!


Have an awesome Monday!!!!!

Not My Child Monday!!

"NOT MY CHILD MONDAY"
My youngest child DID NOT place a rather large Matchbox Truck in the toilet and yell "Oh No".
My youngest child DID NOT proceed to flush the toilet once while Mommy was on her way to the bathroom to see what the "Oh No" was about.
My youngest DID NOT flush the toilet again while Mommy went to get something to get said truck out of the toilet.
My youngest DID NOT proceed to ask 1000 times "where did truck go?" when he could no longer see it.
My response to him DID NOT sound like one of his favorite movies named Nemo
"Honey, the truck went out to the ocean"
To say the least, the bathroom is presently "CLOSED" until the toilet has been removed from the floor and hopefully the truck will be found.

The first thing my husband said was "Well, what is that blog about "Not My Child Monday"? I think you have your blog post" No doubt about that. The above mentioned bathroom's toilet is still closed at present.....working on trying to remove the truck without having to remove the toilet.

Toilet did have to be removed. We have now decided to go ahead and replace the flooring before we put it back. Truck was found. Kaleb was most happy!!!!!
