We are so Proud!!
Some days I think Eston's smart. Some days, I wonder! ;-)
Some days I think Eston's smart. Some days, I wonder! ;-) I was in the kitchen talking on the phone with my mom at 10:00 at night. Yes, Eston was still up. The kid doesn't sleep. I was looking away from him and he's tugging on my pants, saying, "mama mama mama mama." I finally turned around and this was what I saw. He's got a child's toilet seat on his head! I laughed so hard, hung up on my mom, and snapped this picture real quick with my phone before he could run off. Don't worry, the toilet seat is clean. Good that it's clean, bad that he won't use it. Eston is potty trained at daycare. Goes for them with no problems. Even tells them when he needs to go. However, he will not go at home for us. I've been told this is common. Anyone out there have the same thing happen? I'm sure it's the peer pressure that everyone else is going at school so he will too. It's the thing to do there! However, he can still be a baby at home with mom and dad. I'm such a pushover.
Eston is a good eater. Eston is not a good sleeper. I'm still a little surprised about this next picture. He fell asleep sitting in my lap eating a chicken nugget. Nuggets...More words I have eaten since I've been a parent. Lesson to anyone out there without kids (C & W)...don't ever say, "I won't let my kids do that," or "when I'm a parent, I won't do that." Believe me you will eat your words. I have seen nuggets being made when I worked at Tyson. Not the most appetizing process. I walked through the plant in Rogers watching those dino-nuggets roll on the conveyer belt and said, "My child will never eat those." There's nothing wrong with them...they're white meat! Just looks like meat toothpaste being squirted out into a mold. But when they are cooked, they taste good! And when you don't have time to cook something else and a child is cranky from being hungry. Nuggets are great! Let's see, I was never going to let my child sleep with me, either. Ha, that went out the door the first few weeks. I was never going to let my child get hooked on a pacifier. Ha, he had one for two years!

We all have eaten words!!! HE is such a a cute little mess!!
Keep the posts coming. And I like that other parents have trouble too. For a long time I thought Ruth was the only kid I knew with issues (people around here don't always talk openly about kid issues). Every time I say "c'mon" to Ruth I think of Eston.
What a funny picture! That will be one that can be pulled out when he gets older--you've got serious leverage now! :) We have all eaten our words. Parenting keeps us all grounded. :)
Miss you!

Too cute! Sam used to wear his potty seat too! Seems kinda crazy that YOUR kid doesn't sleep! Ha!
Have you ever seen the movie Parenthood? With Steve Martin? We have that kid who butts his head into the wall over and over. :) I think we are all much better parents before we actually have kids. :) I see people watch us out in public. If they give us a look of pity, I know they have kids. If they look at us in disbelief, like "Why do their kids act that way?" I know that they don't have kids yet. They will understand some day. :) As for the potty thing, it will happen. The one thing I have learned is that it does happen eventually and no matter how much I try to influence their choice in that matter, it is up to them. :)
