must love 2 year olds...

there has to be a contract drawn up listing all the things you may have to experience during parenthood...most of which seems to happen during the second year of life!! not only does the attitude seem to kick in at this time...but the ideas of potty training open a whole different can of worms...or should i say bucket of poop!
today seemed like it was going to be a great day in the potty training world. tuscan took his diaper off before we got him dressed for the day and immediately sat on his potty and went pee!! in the excitement of it all, he tried to pull the bowl out of his potty, much to vigorously and sent pee aflying everywhere!! but we were all excited none the less....
when he went down for his nap today however...things did not turn out as great. he was wearing only a tshirt and his diaper..something we generally dont do. he apparently decided it was necessary to take his diaper off so that he could go poop, in his room, on his carpet and in his bed! im sure this is something that most of you would not want to know. but these are the joys of parenthood that i call my life!
i heard tuscan calling us when he woke up, i had just gotten home so i thought i would surprise him and let him see me when he opened his bedroom door. little did i know that i would be the one getting the surprise! he opened the door, i noticed he didnt have a diaper on and he looked and me and said "poop mom!" and pointed into his room!! i was appalled! but lesson learned for frank, dont put him to bed without shorts on, ever!! now that he has started potty training his is very uninterested in wearing his diapers...especially on the hotter days. so hopefully the potty training thing will take a true kick off and we can get past this phase before it gets any worse!

aside from that though, things have been ok...just busy as usual. the twins room is finally finished. we have spent the last few days flip flopping our furniture. we now have a family room and a living room! ill post pics when i have some more time. its all looking so good though. our back room is now the americana family room and i am loving it!! the living room is just there until after the remodling is finished...then it will have much more significance in our life!
tonight we are eating an early dinner, taking the kids for a walk on the new boardwalk down at the erie basin marina and heading home to watch a movie (night at the museum) on the couch with tuscan! i think he maybe just needs some devoted mommy/daddy time - hopefully that will cure him from these wild and crazy adventures!!

Had an identical poop incident with Dylon at about the same age... :)
