Summer Camp

Abby is going to summer day camp! She is super excited and so are we. I still cannot believe that she is old enough to go and learn about things away from me. She is growing up so fast. She is so excited - she keeps telling us " camp... camp...CAMP!!!"

poop is not playdoh!

okay, I guess this is part of potty training-but I do not like it - not one bit! Yesterday at nap time Abby decided to take her pull up off and take the poop out- if you are thinking disgusting - yes! Very disgusting!
We had a long talk during bath time and said that we do not play with our poop - that poo poo goes in the potty.
Meanwhile mommy got to clean the sheets and the carpet and bleach all the toys. Yuck! but I guess it is all part of the learning process.
She did tell me that, "poop is nasty and no more play with nasty poop." - Hopefully this is true-comming from a two year olds mouth.

bathtub for two pleeze

so yesterday I was giving Nathan a bath in his baby tub - and all was well... Or so I thought... Abby was in the other room...The other bathroom. She wanted to get a bath at the same time as her brother.
She had her pitcher in her hand and was getting water out of the toilet and filling the bathtub up ! I came in with Nathan to see what she was up to-and laughed! She said to me " Bath Time Mommy" and I said,"it sure is, bath time".
So we bleached the bathtub and then had a bubble bath- but it was hilarious to see her with the pitcher - very carefully taking water from the toilet to the tub.
