anything but run of the mill

It was just your regular run of the mill Saturday.



Spent doing our regular run of the mill Saturday things.



Baseball practice in the am.



Running errands during practice.



A few home improvement projects worked on.



A precious hour or two of chill time.



Head to the beach for a couple hours in the pm. With all our baseball friends. Which isn't our run of the mill Saturday routine...but was gobs of fun all the same. Until the kiddos were crankin' it out on the ride home anyway! Why did we have three again?



::wink::



Get home just in time for baths. Nothing fancy here. Remind Trevy that his clothes must come off first. For some reason he insists on climbing into the tub fully dressed. Pulled him from the tub and encouraged him to help pull his pants down. Arms up...when taking off shirt. All very run of the mill-ish.



A couple months ago we started incorporating Potty Time during our bath routine. Easy Peasy what with already being necked n' stuff.



We were using an old Blue Clues seat. The kind that fits right on the big peeps potty. That puppy was ancient. And had literally traveled the globe! Shipped from here...to Tanzania...and back again! And I can't really say that Trevy was a fan. We were lucky if he stayed on it for 3 seconds max. So as I was trolling the aisles at BJ's the other day...my eye caught this one...

And I just couldn't resist it! Especially with the little lever on the side that makes vrooooooming noises. I just knew Trevy would love it! And would hopefully sit on the pot for more than 3 seconds in a row.



Tonight he did more than sit!



Trevy did pee pee in the potty!!!!!!



Of course he then proceeded to splash in it while i was partying above and yelling for Jonathan to find the closest M&M for a reward.



::smile and sigh::



I guess you never know when your anything but run of the mill kid will totally turn your run of the mill Saturday on its head!



And I'm going totally crazy ambitious and printing out this groovy matching chart too...

My goodness your world is about to change!
Isn't this little light wonderful?!
Love the super cool potty! Bup HATED sitting on the big toilet with the trainer seat....he was so scared! He would cry n cry and hug me. It took us ages to get past that. So wuhoo on finding the perfect potty that delights Trevy enough to tinkle.;)

Just keep doing it. Eventually it will get better and better. We used to praise the pees and poos in the toilet but then I read to praise the dry diapers instead because that is what you want to see. I thought about that a lot as it made sense but then decided that its too lateral a concept. So we continue the trips to the toilet and hope for more and more success.

That is great! Have you ever seen the Peter Potty? It is an actual urinal that flushes...apparently it is easier for boys to learn with the stand up potty...but if Trevor is like my son, the flusher may be a bit of a distraction, so just dont fill it up with water!

I cried when I got the news

I felt like such a heel not going with Trevy for his first post hemi EEG. Yeeeeeees...Jonathan went with him. Yeeeeeees...he's just as good as me. But still! He's my baby! I was instead sitting on floor 6 east waiting for Neurology to get their boots here and help me sort out this medicine mess! Seriously it's like a bad joke...how many Neurologists does it take to write a bloody script? And fax prior authorizations? Cause Trevy's been back for hours now. And I'm STILL waiting! Anyway... Jonathan had just stepped out to meet the pizza delivery guy when Dr. EEG made his rounds. Of course I asked immediately if he had read the EEG. Of course he had. That's why he was there afterall. And I cried when he told me... that for the first time in almost two years. For the first time since this whole crazy mess began. my baby's EEG is completely normal! Side Note: It's super fun to sob in front of Japanese men and watch them squirm When I kept repeati...

I sure hope...

they grow back curly! Saw the "unknown" flashing on the face of my cell phone and knew who it was. Who it had to be. Dr. Fellow. My eyes met Grams' and I nodded. Grams has a pool, see. For super hot days like today. We're also having a septic installed. Which meant no water or facilities at my place. But those weren't really the reasons I was there. Close to mom. The purple ringing thing in my hand was. Only I wasn't prepared for it to be ringing SO darn soon. Shortly after lunch instead of dinner! I swallowed. Took a deep breath. And clicked connect. Dr. Fellow has a very nice phone tone. Clear. Hint of compassion. If only a stitch of humor were added...it'd be heavenly. But there was no humor. Just business. He's very direct. I'm learning that about him. Which explains his short hello. Followed by immediately pushing into the news. Being that it was a unanimous consensus. The entire surgical committee feels Trevor is a good candidate. And then p...

it's like being asked to the prom...

only MUCH MUCH bigger! I had noticed (yes...I stalk my site meter!) that a government ISP had logged onto Trevor's blog. Whoever it was had spent a good deal of time hanging out too. Followed a few minutes later by a government ISP...hailing from Washington. As in DC! My eyebrow raised. It was just kinda odd. Note-able odd. You know? Anyway...later that day (last week) I was folding laundry & thinking my crazy insane thoughts. Along these lines... I hope I'm not saying anything I shouldn't! Maybe I made somebody mad? Wait a minute! I live in America! I'm allowed to say anything I want! Aren't I???? A shout from the other room interrupted my thoughts before I had a chance to further mull. It was Jonathan. I had just received an email. **Side note...he's always doing that! Reading my emails! Sheesh!*** The said email was from a US Senator's aide! Asking if he could speak with me. Little ole' hardly has time to splash some make-up on ...
