Lauren = 5
Ben = 0

If you are bored by potty stories stop reading now and start back up midway through this post...

Lauren has jumped into the potty training with both feet. She has gone pee pee in the potty 5 times. She had one poopy accident and one partial pee pee accident. Lauren being constipated has finally come in handy, the poopy accident was nice and firm and just dropped right into the potty. Thank goodness for easy clean up. The partial pee pee accident was right after her nap (that she took in panties), she woke up and had to go really bad so a little snuck out. She stopped it and was able to finish up in the potty. That hardly counts, right? Lauren went to the doctor's office, Jack's baseball game and out to dinner without any accidents. She even slept all night in panties. I will admit I got up early so I could be ready to rush her to the potty as soon as she woke up, but she didn’t have an accident. Way to go big girl!!

Ben on the other hand still has no interest in his underwear. I asked him again this morning and he answered with a simple, yet firm “Nope”.

Okay if you skipped the potty talk you can start reading again here...

Jack woke up yesterday with a sore throat and an earache. I normally would have let this play out a little bit before taking him to the doctor, but with Memorial Day Weekend upon us I rushed him to the pediatrician. The doc said his tonsils look like they need to come out because they are so large and the tube in his left ear is working it's way out, thus the ear pain. So, we are going to have to go into the ENT and have him checked out again. But, the good news is that he isn't sick for the weekend!

Last night at the restaurant an older couple stopped us on the way out and said, "ya'll should be commended, you have the best behaved little kids we have seen in a long time". I love when people complement my parenting. It is too often that I am getting the stink eye because my kids are being little hooligans! Where do I accept my mother of the year award?
