• Well, I'm writing from warm, balmy Fort Myer's, FL.    Today is a bit rainy, but it's still better than 40 degree weather!  I had to tell you about the flight down, as it is definite proof that the days of relaxing and reading are LONG gone. 

  
  

  About halfway through the turbulent flight, Kyra (sitting in the window seat in her car seat) announced that she had to go poopie...and she had to do this on the potty.  I informed her that there weren't any little potties, only big ones, is that ok?  She said yes, please, I have to go poopie.  So, we had to push through the steward and the drink cart to get to the airplane restroom/closet.  (I don't know how many of y'all are members of the mile-high club, but I now have huge respect for you...)  Here I was squatting in front of the commode, holding my daughter in hover position while she did her duty (doodie??).  After getting her all cleaned up and diapered (and I grabbed the wrong one...so I was trying to squeeze her into a size smaller while she was standing), we went out to go back to our seats.  At this point, Kyra announced, rather proudly and loudly, "Grandpa, I went poopie!!!!"  And, she didn't do this just once either.  Yeah, having a toddler means that you lose any and all inhibitions and privacy.    But, she was rather proud and I'm tickled that she wanted to do her business on a plane!!  One of first purchases upon arriving in FL was a potty so she could continue to WOW us, and she has!

  
  

  Oh, and the box we sent 2 weeks ago with all our clothes and toys?  Yeah, never arrived.  So, we've been doing a lot of shopping, trying to buy some necessities for me and the kids.  (Royce hadn't put any of his clothes in the box, so he's set.)  I'm a wee bit ticked that my hubby sent the box parcel post and without insurance!!  It weighed over 48 lbs and was filled with brand new clothes and such for us.  grrr.  Oh well, live and learn, I guess.

  
  

  Y'all have a great weekend and a wonderful week!
