Isn't this going a bit too far?
Okay, I'm sorry people are getting hurt, but look where you're going when you're walking! Duh!!! It's common sense. I've also seen news reports about people texting and surfing the web while driving...let's not be stupid people. If there is one thing you need to drive it's your eyes.

Happy Birthday Lily!
Happy 2nd birthday Sweet Pea!
We had Lily's present waiting at the bottom of the steps when we went down in the morning. She saw it when we were at the top of the steps. *gasp* I told her it was her present. *GASP* down a couple steps, *gasp*, a couple more steps, *gasp*. Needless to say she was excited. It hasn't been as great a hit as I thought, but she does enjoy it. When we saw them at the store she didn't want to get off them, so I thought she would be riding it constantly, but I guess there are a whole lot more things to do in our house than there are in a furniture store. I love it.

[If you recently visited you may have noticed this post was gone. I was updating and meant to save the update as a draft...OOPS! It didn't work. I'll be adding more later when I finish the part about who Lily is at 2 or maybe I'll just make it a new post.]

Lily's Potty Song
So I made up this potty song for Lily as a kind of reward when she goes potty. We are not in full fledged "you must use the potty or else" training mode, but I always try to be encouraging when she wants to use it. She loves Diego. She calls him "Go, Go, Go" like "Go, Diego, Go." It's really too cute. So one day when she was on the potty I sang this song to the tune of the "Go, Diego, Go" rescue song...
It's a stinky on the Potty,
a stinky my friends!
Go LaLily, Go LaLily
Go LaLily, Go!
When she immediately asked for it again I knew it would be something that stuck around. I didn't foresee it being so catchy that the rest of the family would walk around singing it. Well, okay, mostly Zach and a little bit Ryan if he hears Zach doing it. When I heard him singing it in his room I just ignored it hoping it was just a passing thing, but when he started singing it too Lily I had to inform him that it is not a song for him to sing. It loses a bit of it's potty time magic if people are singing it to her all the time. Plus it's a little weird for a 9 year old to go around singing about his little sister's bathroom exploits. Then again I guess 9 year olds think that kind of thing is funny, maybe I've created a new teeny bopper hit;-)

Family Picture
We don't really have a good family picture with all 5 of us, so I decided to try to get one last night. This is the best one...
Oh, Zach ::sigh::
I guess we'll try again another time. I did manage to get some decent crops out of the deal.
