What is that thing in the toilet?

As my son first began to finally use the toilet doing the unspeakable, he made a game of it. Each time he went, he called my name across the house. When I reached the bathroom, he pointed into the toilet. The first time, he said, "Look! It's a french fry!"
The next day, he called me again to say, "Look! A hashbrown!"
The next day, he called to me again to look and said, "Look!" I said, "What is it this time?" He said, "Ummm...a shark!" lol
After he heard me tell my mother what he said, he changed it. He still called me to look, but when I asked him what it was, he said, "Uhhh...poopoo." And the next time, he said, "Uhhh...black poopoo." lol
I suppose I embarassed him telling someone else, so the fun was over.
What a unique little imagination!

A psychological hair cut

It is funny what a hair cut can do to a child. My 3-yr-old son refused to go to potty for the longest time. He would "peepee" but otherwise would not go.
I gave him a haircut about 2 months ago (his hair was down to his shoulders) and suddenly a change came upon him. Suddenly, he started going to potty every single time. He has not had an accident since then. AMAZING what a haircut can do to a child!

What you find under table cloths

My teenage son sat down at the table to eat cereal one morning. His bowl almost fell over as he set it upon the table. He lifted the tablecloth to see what was under it. To his surprise, there was a...CORN DOG! My 1-yr-old had evidently stashed it under there the night before to save it for later...
LOL

Tampon Caper

It's really funny when you walk around the corner and find your 2-yr-old with a box of tampons, one in his mouth like a cigar. HAHA
I had to get a picture of that special moment!

You Know There Are Little Ones in the House When...

Around the time your child is age 2 will be the only time in life you get excited over seeing the "prize" they have brought to show you in their "potty." This will also be the only time you will find yourself clapping and cheering over such a thing!

Lately I have been doing alot of cheering for my little fellow. They really feel big when they reach such an accomplishment!

You Know There Are Little Ones In The House When...

I recently discovered something that made me laugh. The more I thought the more I laughed.
I realized that having children in the house is often quite comical.
Here are just a few of the recent occurences that put a smile on my face!
You know there are little ones in the house when...

You find a cob of corn in the butter container.

You find a piece of banana stuck in your hair when, in fact, you have eaten no banana!

You find a rubber duckie in the toilet.

You know every conversation by heart in "Finding Nemo."

You never make it through taking a shower or bath without an interruption (crying, tattle taling, peeking under the door, hands under the door).

You almost always have a little "shadow" when even going to use the toilet.

You upload a picture of yourself for a profile and find that it has been replaced with a computer-drawn smiley face.

What a surprise!
It's great having kids. They make me smile on the gloomiest days!!!
I'm sure many of you out there can relate. Maybe some frustrated parents can also stop and realize how much fun raising children really is, too!
Have a great day!
