A Number 2 Story

Monday morning as Jon and I were getting the kiddos ready for the BBQ Shawn pulled another one of his... I'll call them Shawnisms. Landon was being dressed on the floor and Shawn comes running into the room announcing "I'm such a cute boy!" Jon and I laughed "Yes Shawn, you are!" A few seconds later he repeats the cutesy antic. I decided to investigate what was causing Shawn to think of himself as (the very truthful statement) "I'm such a cute boy." So I followed my little stinker back to our bedroom to find... ugh... this is almost embarrassing...

To find Shawn smearing a stick of deodorant all over his face!

"Mommy, I'm a cute boy!" he states yet another time.

"Yes Shawn, you certainly are. Now give that back!"


**Ok, this little story is not for the squeamish. We all know this is a family friendly blog. Hey, we have two very little kiddos... puke, pee, poop, snot... its all par for the course. This story is too Proud Mommy Moment not to post! We all know that Shawn has been doing pretty well with PPOTP (pee pee on the potty)... not that he's trained, but he'll at least go and ask to go on it. The Number 2 version of the potty brigade has yet to happen... until now! Tonight Shawn was in his usual "Pooping Corner" and I asked him (for the millionth time) "Shawn, do you want to poop on the potty!!!???" And a few "No, no no!"'s later I decided to take matters into my own hands and show him that he NEEDS to be using the potty for this particular function. I sat him on, and he keeps telling me he needs help to poop... so I do my best to demonstrate, make it exciting, etc. Well, the phone rang... so I rang to grab it... nearly stepping in...

A giant mound of poop! Mr. Shawn pooped a big one... on the way to the potty. It was Jon on the phone so I'm all excited about this Pooping Venture and Shawn managed to finish his business while Daddy was on the phone! This kiddo got a big ol' handful of M&M's for that one (and I promised him a toy that he saw in the new Fisher Price magazine today!) Shawn has now promised to tell me next time "A Number 2 Situation" arises. I am one proud MaMa!***


Covered in cute boys... Nanny enjoying this very much!

"Mommy, take a picture of this!"

How big is Landon? Soooooo big!

My Little Ham ;)

And My Little Toothy Monkey.

Mmmmmuahhhh!

"Mommy, take a picture of Shawn sleeping."

Mommy take a picture. Mommy take a picture. Mommy take a picture!
Yea, today he wants me to. But when the big birthday shoot rolls around he'll be running for the hills... just you watch.

Little Instigators.

I have to laugh at these two photos. The one on the left I see myself as a baby. The one on the right, I see Jon. Maybe its because he's happy on the left and grumpy on the right (ah ha ha ha!)

First, I find the bee bo (belly button.) Next, I find my thumb. Ah, the perfect meditating position.

More of Shawn's pretend sleeping pics.
