1- We now call Target Bulls Eye because the boys beg to go there.
2- As I suspected, Brad's shoes didn't fit. He is now in a 7Wide. He loves his new shoes, his 1st pair of brand new sneakers that Billy didn't wear first. We all know whose feet his resembles. Not mentioning any names.
3- After Gram's exciting month, including a broken hip on the 13th and a heart attack on the 17th, she is doing great! She told me "I'm still kickin, just not quite as high"
4- The boys both ask me "what are you doing" thousands of times a day, every couple of minutes or seconds sometimes. Literally.
5- I had an interesting conversation with Billy about things we are thankful for. His included his ni-night, pork, milk, Mommy, Daddy, Louie (our dog), Pete (his stuffed penguin) Ronnie, but not Bradley.
6- As 6:15am today I was listening to a conversation between the 2 cribs in the boys room...
Brad says "Billy"
"Yeah"
"I stuck. Down."
Billy screams "Quiet!"
7. Ronnie is eating 3 meals a day of baby food. I am currently washing the next size of clothes for her. Amazing.
8. For one day this week, Billy used the potty. Not by my idea, that's for sure.
In the morning he said to me
"Mommy, no more dipes. I too big"
"What?" I respond
"Underwears please, Mommy"
So, reluctantly I got out a pair of Handy Manny underwears. He peed in them twice and then he got it. He told us when he had to go the rest of the day and even told us he had to poop and pooped in the potty.
I later learned that my Dad, aka Pap, had read Billy a potty book over the weekend
while they were visiting. I guess we can't ever think he isn't paying attention!
When he went to bed, we decided that we will do what he wants tomorrow, since this was unplanned and not our idea.
The next morning...
"Mommy"
"Yes?"
"Dipes please, underwears hard work Mommy"
He has been in dipes since.
