Helpful?

OK, first I had to start out with this picture:

What? Isn't this normal? Don't your kids use a lampshade as some sort of "blanket" when not covering a light bulb? What is really weird is that he has to go grab his pillow to make it like a real bed of some sort. I know, strange!

Well the latest around here is that Micah has taken an interest in potty training. I should be very excited and I pretend to be, but it has been a less than hygenic experience. My house smells of bleach and febreeze for good reason. Last night, I heard Micah say "Mommy I gotta go potty." I threw Brooklyn over to Chad and went running for the bathroom. At that point, he had already taken his diaper off and sat on the potty. I went in saying yeah Micah. Oh crud! The little protector cup in the front got in the way and pointed his pee pee straight up. He was a fountain! He has pee all over the front of his shirt and on the tile below him. He did manage to get some in the potty though and we celebrated. Tonight we had another fun potty experience. Chad and I were in the front room when we heard something going on in the bathroom. We looked back there to find Micah emptying a poopy diaper in the toilet. Problem is, there really isn't any poop going into the toilet. We then see him running back and forth from his room carrying poop and dropping it in the toilet. At one point, he actually picked one back out of the toilet! He was only being helpful, right? Yuck! Needless to say, all surfaces were disinfected and Micah was thoroughly washed. Hopefully, he will get better about getting it in the potty rather than around it!
