So much has happened since I last wrote that I wouldn’t even try to cover all of it. My favorite is to blog cute stories so here are a couple since I last wrote.
First the poop story! We were eating dinner, Jeff was gone so it was just the kids and me. Iris was in her high chair and she started to wiggle around and say “poop poop” so I got her down and told her to go run and play and I guess get her poop out. Scott then piped in and said, “she should use the potty!”. This didn’t seem like a bad idea at the time and so I took her diaper off and sat her on the little potty. I could tell she was trying to do something, but she kept standing up and then sitting down. Scott came in shortly after and I stopped paying attention to Iris for a moment. In the short moment she stood up and pooped next to the potty not in the potty and then stepped in it. I cleaned her feet and asked Scott to get me the wipes. Scott, like the good obedient boy he is, went and got the wipes and brought them in the bathroom where on the way out he also stepped in the poop. I put him in the tub and asked him to stay there until I could get all the other messes cleaned up and then I would clean him. While he waited he spread the poop that was on his foot all over the tub. Luckily none of the poop ever left the bathroom and for that I am grateful.
We have been trying to make up stories to tell Scott and Iris at night. We are horrible at it, but they don’t know the difference. Today in the car he was talking to Iris and he said “I am going to tell you a story about a train and a dog” and then he proceeded to tell a story to Iris. It was so adorable.
At our house if you are grouchy then two things are wrong, either you are hungry, tired or a combination of both. So when I tell Scott I am going to take a little nap while he watches cartoons he always asks me “Are you grouchy Mom?”
Lately Iris has been trying really hard to mimic what her big brother is doing. She will try to sit the same way he does and play the same way he does. She just learned how to stack duplo blocks and she loves just to sit there and stack blocks just like her big brother. She is also picking up his bad habits. Scott has started to wipe his mouth on the inside of this shirt. He did this today and Iris saw, she then grabbed her dress and started wiping her mouth with her dress!
This is another bad habit Iris has "picked" up from Scott!
