Cooking, cleaning, taxying, and counseling my big rowdy family, my little brother making his first run for public office, and friends who I think have boarded the crazy train with no return ticket...they keep me busy and on my toes. They are the reason my life is so blessed. Join me while I tell you all about them.

Is a Potty Trained Child a Blessing or a Curse?

1. On a long walk through the neighborhood he waits until we're at least 4 (long) blocks from the house when he says, "Oh Mom, I gotta poop".
2. At a baseball game at the field farthest from the bathrooms with my older son on deck when I hear, "uh-oh, I gotta poop now".
3. At the pool, after setting up everything that took you 3 hours to pack, and spreading on suncreen for 40 minutes, spending an hour manuevering the 8 month old into her safety float boat only to hear, "moooommmmm, it's time to poop".
4. At church during silent reflection time, "mom can you take me to poop", is asked so loudly the old lady that needs a hearing aid 7 rows behind can hear. and my personal favorite,
5. At the grocery store, cart full and ready to check out, (with the bathrooms at the very back of the store) when I hear, "oh gosh I gotta poop right now and look it's already coming out", to which he yanks down his pants to show me (and everyone else around you for that matter, and believe me they saw).
In fairness to Flynn I must divulge the grocery store incident was Alec (years ago of course, and when I was brand new to mothering). sigh...
