update

After waking from his nap, which he had a pullup on for, we took potty break. Nothing. We unpaused Transformers and watched for about 15 minutes wearing underoos. Paused the movie again and tried to potty. Nothing. Came back to the movie for another 15 minutes. Pause for potty break nothing. No sooner do we take up with the movie again but do I see Sam spreading his legs and looking down as pee runs down his legs. Ok Diaper time again!

Potty training

Within an hour and a half of opening up Sam's new glow in the dark transformer underoos, we are doing our first load of laundry. Witin about 10 minutes of getting off the potty and putting on our first pair of pullups, he pooped. Then I changed him, cleaned him up and put him on the potty again. Then within about another 15 minutes, he peed in his pullups. So I decided pullups are too much like diapers, so I put him on the potty and we broke out the underwear. It was approaching a half an hour since I had put him on the potty, so I went into his room where he was playing because i heard an uh oh from him. Sure enough pee on his recliner and puddles on the floor. I dug out the cleaning stuff and wiped down the chair and the hard wood floor. I put him back on the potty and he went a little. We did a little cheer. I put on his second pair of big boy pants and gave him a fruit snack for going in the potty. Then not to much later I went to check on him because he was complaing about his game not working and I saw a little puddle in his matt which I had shoved in his recliner to save the clean up. So we ran to the potty again, and he went again. Well now I am not going to let him be alone in his room, so we put on Transformers. Sitting beside me watching the movie, I see him look down and notice a little dribble on his underoos. Yelling potty and running to the bathroom he kicks off his underwear and climbs up on the potty and really goes. He got so caught up in the act of it and trying to see the pee come out that he continued to pee in the potty then shoot me, the floor, and the tub. Man this kid has good Kidneys. So needless to say, the laundry is spinning and we are now in his cars underoos! I am contimplating never giving him another sippy, and trying to figure out the napping situation. Great he just spread his legs and peed all over the living room floor and now his is slipping a nd sliding in urine

Now with a new fuse we have power but even the repair guy was confused by that sight!!

oh what a day

ok, yesterday started out as any ordinary day. We all went to school. Then I decided to finally get my oil changed. Went to the place I always do and got that taken care of. Feeling good, I go to my car to discover that they have rolled my window down and it is now stuck. Well in a warmer time this may not have been a big deal. However, a cold front was coming through and it had been raining most of the day and was going to only get worse. Well these genioses could only put cardboard over it. Well now I must get home without being to see out my drivers side window. Let me say this is not an easy task.

Well we finally get home and are eating supper. Right in the middle of this, the lights go out. Here we are sitting with our food in front of us in complete black. Upon further investigation, we notice that the microwave is on. I knew that I had paid that bill. But did I mention that I just started a load of laundry before the lights went out?

Then to make matters worse, Sam started acting sick. Well at midnight here walks in a whining baby and he is burning up.

Well as of now, we are sitting in a house with random plugs that work. Sam's tv and one light is on. Both the refrigerator and deep freeze work. Alan's computer is on, the light inour bathroom is on, and one other plug in our room that we have switched the tv to. Thank God for central gas
heat.
