Heat Wave

A lot of time outside with water these days as the temps are staying in the nineties... Tomorrow is supposed to be the last of this fall-heat-wave. I am usually so sad to leave summer behind, but carrying the extra weight and hormones leaves me sweaty, hot, and irritable--gladly welcoming fall and it's briskness that it serves in the air.

Nesting and sweating doesn't mesh well, either, but thankfully my children don't notice my B.O. or the wet rings under my pits. Thankfully Scarlett's dresser is now lined and ready for girly clothing to be stacked in perfect rows, from minuscule little onesies to a fabulously pink tutu (thanks again, Alexis and family!).

*please don't notice that this picture has, in fact, been used before, but I do love Bee's spitting face and I did not use my camera today. Obviously heat, hormones, nesting, and photography don't mesh either.

Say It Isn't So!

Look

Who's

Wearing

Underwear!

Size 2T, to be in fact, which are looking rather tight and white. Could he possibly be in the same size as his two-years-older brother? Likely. Although Kid would have a fit if he had to share underwear with his Baby.

Don't let this be deceiving, Bee is not fully potty trained, however, he is doing a very good job at staying dry while at home!

I decided to pull out the skivvies today for kicks as the kid literally held his potty until Daddy Mock or I would take him to the potty or direct him to a tree (how very classy are we).

I'm still in shock over his willingness and ability, however, I do know that in many countries and even our country pre-1950's, babies were "trained" far before the age of 18 months.

We have now made it very routine for Bee to sit on the potty. I haven't made him or stressed "dryness" on any accounts, but he is certainly learning the basics.

I'm also prepared for this to be a long ride, specifically why I did the cold turkey approach with Kid... but, it's a window and I must respect and take full advantage of that!
