Good morning!
What's going on?
Re: Weekly Randoms 6.9.21
As for me, it’s just ridiculous over here😂. We’re working on potty training because my 2yo has been showing readiness signs for like 6 months so I really need to just let him do it. It’s not going well. Yesterday 1/4 on the potty before he refused to take the diaper off after naptime. Today 0/3 on the potty including one poop on my carpet that he told me about immediately and in the time it took me to grab some wipes to pick it up the dog rolled in it smushing it into the carpet and his fur. Sent him out back and found a baby mouse dead on my back porch. Just gotta laugh about it all or I’m going to quit before he really has a chance at potty training. Fingers crossed after naptime goes better!
@fuscok88 omg that sounds WILD I am keeping fingers crossed that today goes a lot better for you and he makes the transition soon
@lexilougolden those boxes sound so cute! very excited for you! I hope they appreciate the effort. the only parent we're doing anything special with is my FIL (both our parents are divorced so we did this one at a time and my FIL lives local whereas the rest of our parents are on the East coast) and we're going to give him a special grandpa board book for father's day
After work in a little bit here, I have to get over to this orientation stuff they call, "Bootcamp" for the show I'm in, and I'm a little scared lol Andplus already exhausted. They said they want us to wear bright colors for the FB pic tonight, but I might not make it there in time for that anyway, since I'll have to get changed and wait for DH to get home before I can leave... I also wanted to swing by my friend's place who just had a baby and bring them dinner! But of course, I didn't finish the dinner yet and now I'm all, what's DH going to eat if I make dinner for them? lol I might be trying to do too much...
@chgilmore Happy Birthday!!! I hope the rest of your day goes well and you can enjoy your day
@fuscok88 I am dreading the potty training process, my son is 21 months but not totally showing signs, and I'm not rushing lol. All I picture is how you are describing your experience 🙂
@BusinessWife I need a nap just reading what your day is like! I agree to listen to your body and rest when needed!
As for me, I am currently trying to find new, easy recipes to make for my son and I find it so stressful. Not just finding the meals, but then planning them, figuring out when to get the groceries and what items I need so I can prep and finding a time to cook it all! This was more of a vent so thanks for listening
@axl0060 IDK if you guys have any particular dietary issues, but I LOVE the, "cook once eat all week," cookbook. It's mostly geared towards GF/paleo ish, and there are ways to tweak the recipes to make the DF as well, but honestly, they are all just SO TASTY!!! The eggroll in a bowl, even my picky toddler will actually eat every time I've made it, and she says it's delicious! and by eat I mean, willingly take like two or three whole bites. lol
@lexilougolden Your announcements sound super cute! Everyone is inspiring me to attempt a cute announcement for our families. I tried a Big Brother shirt for DS1 to announce DS2 on FaceTime, but we’d just gotten a new dog, and my dad thought I meant he was big brother to the dog. So it failed lol.
@axl0060 I hear you, meal planning is one of my least favorite activities, mostly because I know actually cooking it is going to take what feels like forever. definitely recommend anything you can throw in a slow cooker pot or can whip together in less than 30 min (like roasted veggies/meat in the oven, drizzle in olive oil and whatever spices on 400F for 25-30 min, DONE)
@BusinessWife ooof I'm sorry about that. it sounds like you kinda wanted to go, but at the same time I'm glad you got a bit of a break. and more food for later. maybe a blessing in disguise? I'm so glad you got to engage in this friendship with their new babe!
@lexilougolden I will try my best lol, I already forgot to take a picture of it before DH wrapped the present (a whole week and a half early, I am impressed) so hopefully I'll remember to do it while it's happening!
AFM: I took DS1 clothes shopping today for summer clothes. He’s at a size now that garage sales are more hit or miss, and he’s straddling the line between toddler and little boy sizes. So we went to lunch, went clothes shopping, and then went to the butterfly house. I was a little concerned about all the clothes I needed him to try on, but he did great. He figured out where the size was on the tag and went to town looking at shirts and putting the ones he liked in the cart. It was also weird going out with him and not needing a diaper bag. I literally grabbed snacks and my purse before we left.
