Two Year Olds Are SO Helpful!

You know what's super cool about toddlers? They are just extremely helpful. So helpful in fact, that when Asher couldn't make it to the toilet in time to go poop, he just decided he'd take off his underwear and try to clean up the mess himself. I was downstairs making lunch and kept hearing him running back and forth from his bedroom to the bathroom...I called him downstairs and asked him what he was doing...as soon as he said he went poop in his underwear and I noticed that his underwear were in fact absent, I went upstairs to find this:

It could have been a lot worse...but he did manage to get footprints of it on the rugs (that had just been washed yesterday) and I of course had to spend the next 10 minutes cleaning the floors and toilet yet again (remember yesterday was the entire scrubbing of the bathroom to get rid of the pee smell from when I had spilled some of Asher's pee all over the floor while emptying his toilet)...not to mention all of the liquid poo (because of course, this had to be the soft mushy stuff instead of his normal ball like BM's) that was up and down Asher's legs/butt...he was immediately deposited into the tub for his 2nd bath of the day.

Here are a few pictures that I was going to post yesterday. The weekend was spent celebrating Grandma Callie's birthday...this picture below was of Ayris during Saturday night's dinner...I just thought she looked like such a little grown up here...

Sitting with daddy....

TJ and Asher...

Ayris took this picture of "her brother"

Just a few random shots of Asher...

In other news...I belong to a number of survey companies...and one of those companies always lets you play this little poll predictor game at the end that gives you "chances" to win prizes...so the closer you are to the right answer, the more chances you get. I'm normally pretty good at this game but I was dumbfounded recently...the question posed was if McDonald's was your favorite restaurant...so in all of my infinite McDonald's wisdom, I put something like 70 some percent...because afterall, not everyone could love McDonald's as much as myself...imagine my surprise when the number came back like at 3 percent or something crazy like that!

And then, the poll today was "Have you ever made someone cry?"...I guessed 47 and the number was 90! Man...Ipsos survey members are meanies! Meanies who are missing out on McDonald's! I'm not quite sure I fit in with this group of people =)

Also, the community director just quickly shot an email back saying he was sorry to hear about my missing cat and asked if I could tell him which community I lived in so he could answer my questions fully. Maybe that means that other communities allow missing pet signs and dogs to poop in other people's yards? Who knows...I'll just keep waiting for those questions to be answered fully. I did hear from a friend today who said she knows someone whose cat came back a week later...so that gives me more hope.
