Things that made me smile today

* This morning when we woke up, Joseph wanted to take his diaper off right away. I tried getting him to leave it on til we got downstairs but he insisted on taking it off. I was working on getting myself and Noah out of bed when Joseph comes into the bedroom from the hallway going YEEEEEE!! with his hands up in the air....the same thing he does after going potty in his potty chair. So I'm thinking, Great, he peed on the floor. I walk into the hallway to find he had peed in a decorative glass bowl I had sitting on the floor. I wasnt happy he peed in my bowl, but he had to go, and it was better than peeing on the floor! Such a smart little boy! I only wonder if he sat on the bowl (like he sits on his potty) or he stood and peed in it...? :)

* Last night after I finished my post and went upstairs to go to bed I found the boys sleeping soundly. Joseph had his arm out almost like he was holding Noah's hand, and Noah had his leg out, sitting on top of Joseph's leg. Joe was snoring. :)

* I've been trying to get Noah to take a bottle so he will actually eat something if and when I ever have to be away from him. I had planned on going to Fargo tomorrow and leaving both kids with Joe but with Noah refusing the bottle I'm not going. Anyways. So I was trying to get Noah to use the bottle today and Joseph so badly wanted to help. He kept taking the bottle from me and shoving it in Noah's mouth. He kept trying long after I had given up. Its funny, we never use bottles, ever, (I had to buy one yesterday to try out on Noah) but the second I brought the bottle out, Joseph knew that it went in the baby's mouth, he held it the right way, everything, like he knew exactly how they work. Smart boy, consider we never use bottles and he's never had much experience with them. :)

* I was on the computer earlier and quite distracted by what I was doing. Joseph had went potty on his own and I hadnt realized. I heard him yelling (Yeeeee!) and was not paying attention to him, so he kept yelling Yeeeee! Yeeeeeeee! YEEEEEE! until it finally clicked that he was praising himself for going potty! He had to make sure he told me that he went potty, and every time he does, YEEEEEEEE!! :)

* I looked over at Noah today to find him chewing on our leather automan/foot rest thing. He was laying on his belly gnawing on the corner of it...ummmmm....teething much??? :)

And lastly...

* Both kids were in their beds, sleeping, by ten o'clock tonight. :)
