The latest funnies...

Ok so I'm walking the girls home from school last week (Olivia and Libby whom we walk/carpool with) and Ellee who is in the stroller.  Jack has escaped the stroller and is running ahead of the girls.  We come round the corner and what do I see?  Oh, it's just my 3 1/2 year old son standing with his pants around his knees PEEING into our neighbors yard!  I mean... it couldn't have taken him more than 2 1/2 seconds to make that decision b/c we were literally 25 feet behind him!  I was a little embarrassed but truly... what can you do?  So I just helped him pull his pants up and asked him to tell me next time he had to go potty so we could find some shelter and avoid the neighborhood knowing what Jack's bootie looks like.

Ellee went poop on the potty the other day.  Yay!  She loves to practice and sit there naked, but this time something actually came out!  She was startled and then a little freaked out when I whooped and clapped for her.  So we went in to tell Sissy and Jack.  Both of them (in different areas of the house) said "Gimmie 5 Elle!"  and slapped her five.  I thought it was sweet how supportive and excited they both got for her.  She hasn't gone since... I think I scared her.  But seriously!  We have sat there for many minutes so I just got a little excited when something happened!

Cute Olivia story:
We were talking about how Clare is going to have a baby soon and I was wondering out loud if it would be a boy or a girl.  Olivia thinks girl.  Jack thinks boy.  Then Olivia says "Wait mom, did they have that interview thing yet?"  (she means an ultrasound)  "because if they saw a WeeWee then it's a boy!"
She just may be a doctor.  ;)

Then the other day over at Myah and Tye's house we were playing outside with their pet baby ducks.  (Which was really cute.)  Ellee was playing around when she caught sight of Alpine (the Cooley's big fluffy white dog.)  "Momma  Momma...."  she says running over to me with her arms outstretched.  "Beaw"  (bear)    I picked her up and said... "No sweetie, that's not a bear, thats a big dog."  "No, Beaw" Ellee says.  "Sssawed" (scared)  she says crossing her arms like she's shivering in fear.  It was extremely cute.

Today at Paradise Park Jack helped Ellee climb up all the way to the top of these steps that lead to a giant tornado slide.  He had to help her put her foot in the net and then push her bootie up every time there was a landing that was too high for her.  It was so sweet b/c he was saying "Come this way Elle!" and they were both laughing and just having so much fun together.  I remember Olivia teaching Jack to climb up the same thing when she was 5 and he was 2.  Ellee does things sooner than the others did... she's just trying so hard to keep up!   Then when it was time to go I said  "Ok Elle get your shoes on and lets go"  She ran over, grabbed her crocks, sat down and put them on and ran over to me.  This other mom was like "How old is she?"  b/c she was impressed she followed directions so well...  Plus also maybe a little because she looks like a giant baby running around since she still has no hair!     but HA! Wish that old mean hag from Jason's Deli could have seen Ellee then!
