P**py # 7

This is a mom blog so I think I can brag about such things a p**p successes. This will be a short post as my daughter Abigail is hurling dog food across the room and once she's done with that, who knows?? So, our potty training journey with my son Daniel (now almost 4) has been a long one and we're still on the journey. I was so praising God, though, tonight when he ran to the potty himself, pulled down his pants, sat himself down and waited till he produced something, got up and ran to me exclaiming "I did a poopy number 7!" Sure enough, upon inspection, the poop in question did resemble the number 7!! My child can poop and read.
This is a real victory as he has previously been somewhat frightened by his poop and if he managed to do it on the potty instead of in his pants or diaper, it would be a job to get him to sit up as he didn't want to observe what he had made. OK. Abby having emptied the dog food has started on pouring the doggy water into the doggy food bowl and back and forth. At least it is improving her hand-eye coordination... and cooling her off no doubt. This is why I don't blog often. Have a blessed day!

Awesome!

That worked!! I like this. If only I could figure out how to attach pictures in an order that I want... I'll see what I can find for more pictures to share. I just downloaded a bunch from Nik's phone. They're a bit crummy in quality, but I like them.

Elections!

I'm working on this blogging from email to see whether it can help me be more regular (haven't blogged since November!!).  All the while I'm listening to the show "Opinion" where a group of the most uneducated, loud, rude, proud Albanian men discuss different topics often focused on politics  Tonight we're awaiting the results of the local elections and all the men are speculating, tripping over one another in their aimless drivel.  Not sure why we're watching except that it's culturally and linguistically interesting perhaps. 

I'll post a picture of my kids being goofy just to see where it will come out on the blog post.   I hope that I can do better blogging.  I wanted to be thankful for something today.  What will it be?  Maybe that I can understand at least 99% of what I hear in Albanian.  Too bad my speaking has gotten much worse than it used to be, but at least I can understand these guys talking all over on top of each other.  I'm also thankful for this wonderful spring weather!!
