I'd NEVER do that!

Today , Michael and I were in the car and he announced... 'I have to go potty... NOW... mama!" I told him he needed to hold it for just a second. He told me... "It's just dripping a little". Oh boy, I thought... what am I going to do:? Well, I did something I thought I would NEVER do. I stopped 

by a park, and let Michael go potty IN THE PARKING LOT!! I never thought that I WOULD EVER do anything like this. Truthfully it would have been too much to try with any of the girls with the pulling down the pants, making sure you didn't get anything on you, that whole squatting business, no - way too much work. BUT with a boy... WOW, it's WAY EASY!!!! So, after Michael finished "peeing at the park" (fun fun!!) we got into the car and he said after a few minutes.... "Mama? Can I go poop in the park?" And I said, "Oh no, honey, we never go poop outside". And he said, "Well cows do!" To which I replied, "But you aren't a cow", and he said "Yes, I am!" OH NO - What have I DONE?????

Ride Em, Cowboy!

It would never take me 5 months to wear a new outfit. Usually, if I get something new, I wear it that very day!!! But, my sweet boy - well, he's a boy and boys are a different sort. Grandma Oman gave Michael a cowboy hat, cowboy boots and a holster for Christmas last year. 5 months ago. He has refused to put it on or play with it. Until last night!! He decided that it was time. He was SO cute!!! AND he loved it! How he knows what sound a gun makes is beyond me since he hasn't ever seen or heard anything about guns. But he DOES know, and it is a "shoot gun"... and it is the sweetest sound ever. Thanks Grandma, for the "new" outfit!!
