Re: on and OT: ramblings

My 7-yr.-old DGD is in Las Vegas (can you believe it??) with her Daddy. Else I would bring her and we could come over and play and sew and take turns on child duties. Wouldn't that be a blast!

I forget where you are now -- -- otherwise I'd come to babysit -- that might at least give my company a small hint to move on --

When my kids we little my husband's job involved alot of traveling. We lived in Arizona and had no family nearby to help. There were no digital clocks for the smart kids to read the time so I just moved the hands of the clock up 1 hour. They were never the wiser and I got an extra hour of peace and quiet. They are all grown and we still laugh at how I outsmarted them. When my husband was a child his Mom would tell him that it was bedtime and that there was nothing on TV, because the President was on. It worked every time!

haven't quite made it to the potty trained goal yet... working on it! she got to the bathroom on her own this morning.... but went before she climbed up to the potty.... getting closer! kellie

I'd come Kellie! I work cheap, but the transportation cost is expensive! Roberta in D

Well pack em all up and bring em down here. I'm sure Spike, Giles, The Lady Herself, and my Princess Big S**t and Princess Little S**t (family nick names for when they are naughty) would have an absolute crazy time with each other! Leaving us free to show and tell, sew, gossip and just eat chocolate!

Hehehehehe! Sorry, but it just reminded me of James at that age! At this time of year, change him on the grass in the garden...

Melinda, I can feel for you, really, I can. DS truly impressed me at about 2.5 weeks when he decided to lat go in the middle of a change. He didn't get much of the crib, but he did get the wall, the crib mobile, and his own face! I think it shocked him so much that that is the reason he stopped in mid-stream!

Now he is potty trained, but has issues with wanting to pull his pants down as soon as he feels the urge - even if it is in the middle of a park or a store!

I always kept the old one over the top while sliding the new one under then quickly tossing the new one over while whipping out the old one. Only had ONE shooting episode before learning that one.

When my Josh (he's 29 now) was 20 months old he ran down the street naked. I chased him and laughed till tears came. A few neighbors witnessed this and he was the talk of the neighborhood. The little streaker!

When James was 5 I used to take him to swimming lessons. One day he went to the 'wet loo' - the loo for wet people. He came back starkers coz he couldn't pull up his wet swimming trunks! Caused giggles all over the pool area!

We used to let my now 24 year old daughter wade in her paddle pool naked when she was about a year old. Some of my MILs friends saw and told her- she was not amused! We didn't see anything wrong with it. SueS

When we lived in Az, it was very hot and he always went in his little pool naked. Why make more laundry?

That wasn't/isn't the major problem. It's the projectile pooing with nappy off for changing that's the problem!

I'm very careful about watching where it's aiming when changing, etc, saw that happen to an aunt with one of my cousins when he was little. :-)

I just wish there was an easy way to catch the unexpected poos!

Never had one of those. Gosh!

Then you can use a handful of snow to wash him up! LOL His first intro to shrinkage.

I seem to get more of those than unexpected wettings!
