Who tossed some underwear in the dirty clothes last night? Dry undies, just going in the dirty clothes! We did have one accident today, but also got 4 stickers!! Two huge millstones though. #1 he started telling me when he needed to go. #2 had to do with the placement of uhm, #2. So that was great. I was a little worried that would be another hurdle. I must say though, the M&Ms were in his bloodstream through the whole evening. He was been a live wire, running a million miles an hour everywhere. When he finally got in bed, he laid there giggling and making jokes.

I am thinking of making some “monster be-gone spray” with water and one of the calming essential oils. I’m not a huge fan of lavender. He says he is scared of the dark though and he talks about monsters. He absolutely will not go in a dark room alone. He sat up in bed last night before falling asleep (I stay in there with him for a while) and said “Mom are you totally sure there aren’t any monsters in here?” In this voice that suggested I might be fibbing. I told him that I was sure and that mommy and daddy were right here and he was completely safe. He replied “Well Daddy is in there watching TV all day.” It was a while before we were done giggling over that one.

He exhausted me today though. This is terrible but MAN this kid can talk when there’s no TV! We’ve been hanging out in the bedroom near the bathroom and he chatted my ear off today. The entire day. I was thumbing through a few activity books Scott picked up from the library for me. It was kind of like camping, only with indoor plumbing, central air and less bugs.

(Still looking rather empty here. The bookcase is waiting on my to unpack the last of the boxes containing all of my books. Alas, I’m too lazy.)

1. Our pile of reading material (well part of it)

2. Sippy cup of water

3. Bag of M&M’s and sheets of stickers up high so he doesn’t decide to ‘help’ himself along his chart without my knowledge ;)

4. Potty chart, we have officially rounded turn one since this picture was taken yesterday

5. The Holy Grail of themed activities for young children (better known as Creative Resources for the Early Childhood Classroom)

6. Our picnic table. Where we sit on the floor half naked and eat muffins. Well him, not me.

7. I told you our bathroom is 1X1.  I would like to redo the floor, I wonder if I can buy peel and stick tiles individually, seeing as I only need about seven.  Hmmm.

8. Another cup of drink. But we’re not pushing the liquids. Nah.

We have been able to venture away from the bedroom today, and even left the house to pay the water bill! Baby steps, baby steps. I think I’m through the worst of it though. It ‘clicked’ yesterday I think.
