Perfect in every way.

I've done a lot of dumb things.

I'd say in the last 31 years, I have made a lot of dumb decisions. Starting my master's program a week after we got pregnant, dumb. Potty training my 28 month old while in my last month of pregnancy, even dumber. Now to be honest, I was kind of bullied into potty training. I wasn't planning on attempting this feat until late this summer, or maybe not even until someone created a pill that you give your child that magically transforms them into a toilet only user. But unfortunately the two year old that runs a lot of my life had other plans and that included never keeping his diaper on.

So yes, these days you will find me and my just about 37 week belly on the floor scrubbing out poop. The pee? Oh we've got that down. The other, oh not so much at all. Henry has decided that he will ever so helpfully start to clean up his mess once he goes on the floor and I won't go into detail but I'm sure you can imagine how delightful it is to enter a room that reeks like #2 and then see the pile of wipes your son has used to attempt to clean up. Sure it's cute that he wants to be helpful, but I"m not sure how far that will go with our landlords when they see the poo stains all over the basement carpet. If only he would learn to blot instead of scrub.

Enough about poo, look how much fun this kid had today.

Look at that blue sky! It was a balmy 54 at the park today with wind strong enough to just about blow Henry right off the slides. Ah, yes, Spring is here. For now.
