Random Funnies........,

*Sometimes in a life with kids you just have those moments that make you laugh. Here are a few from our last few months:

- After the ice storm left us without power, I headed to my moms with the kids. Our second night there, Kaitlyn was still awake around 8:30 having napped earlier in the day but Ethan & Kylie had been fast asleep for a while. My mom and I are talking in the living room and we hear Kaitlyn who's playing in the hallway say "Whatcha doing Ethan? You have to go pee? But why are you peeing on Mimi's rug??????" Yep, he walked out of the bedroom, pulled down the front of his jammie bottoms and just peed on the rug. He pulled his pants back up and went right back to bed.

- While visiting Papa Perrault for a family St. Patrick's Day dinner, Emma (our resident neat freak) stood examining Papa's hallway which has light wood floors with occasional darker spots in the wood. She walked into the bathroom, grabbed a few sheets of toilet paper off the roll, returned to the hall and stooped over one of the spots and tried to scrub it off. She lifted the paper, saw there was nothing on it and tried again. Looked at the paper and still nothing. Then she moved onto a different spot and tried again.

- Emma's version of hugging someone is to go over to them and lean her head into them. She especially loves "hugging" the dogs who don't know what she's trying to do....

-Toilet training faux pas..... Oh so many- but a few that make us scratch our heads (all courtesy of Ethan) are when we found a puddle of urine sitting on the tp of the toilet seat. Thank goodness our seat cover is a bit concave. One day, my mom even found a big pile of poop on the cover after the kids had gone to bed, not smooshed or anything- not sure how he managed to get off without making a mess. Moral of these lessons: leave the toilet seat cover up at night.
