Poopy

We are safely back from Tyler~ We had a rough start... a little car sickness. However, we did accomplish what we needed to accomplish this weekend. We got two car loads of things into storage. We found a school for Chuck.... check it out... it rocks... http://www.oakhillschooltyler.com/

and we got to look at some houses. We only looked at four but we did like one of them... you can check the house out here http://www.bettysellstyler.com/listing-single%2Bfamily%2Bhome-19191.html

Anyways, now we begin the stressed out production called "Selling the House". I am in the works of setting up lunch with our realtor so we can get this house listed right after Christmas. We gotta start getting rid of this house. We will rent if we have too. Hopefully, we can take another load to Tyler around Christmas.

Sorry this post comes without pictures. I have laundry to do, ironing to do, and lesson plans to do. I will give you some pictures tomorrow.... hopefully.

OOOH< and the title of this post..... Chuck pooped in the toilet. We got home today and went straight to the bath. I noticed a few bubbles in the water ( i know TMI) and heard a rumbling tummy so when we got out, Chuck sat on the potty and read books. Sure enough within a few minutes the boy had pooped in the potty! Now I wonder how long it will be before that happens again!

Sir Grumps a lot

Bless his sweet little heart. The time change has been rough on him. This was the first day of the time change. I think he is teething a little. He is starting to repeat everything you say. As you can see, he is brave enough to attempt three syllable words. How cute is he trying to say "tylenol".

And yes, I realize I spelled thief wrong in the last post.... I apologize and have no excuses.... and yes I do teach children.... apparently I teach them how to spell wrong.

Food theif

The only picture that I have to share is Chuck's meltdown on the kitchen floor this morning. I will spare you. The 4:30 wake up was not welcome but expected. Chuck couldn't take it any longer and snoozed on the couch at 10 when we usually shoot for 12 or so. Then tonight, even though we were all tired, I had to keep him up so that he would sleep until 6 tomorrow morning. I think I may be doomed so now I am going to wake up at 4 just in case. I can always go back to sleep if he doesn't wake up.

One quick story about the Chuckster. Apparently, his favorite food is baked beans. Ms. Alice ( who I leave him with for breakfast in the morning) feeds him lunch and knows he is going to ask for seconds. She says she always brings Chuck two plates. Well, earlier last week they had baked beans and she didn't bring the extra plate. Chuck signed for "more" and Ms. Alice broke it to him that she had no more. Caleb, who is a new boy a school, was sitting next to Chuck. Caleb doesn't eat because he is just not too sure about his new school. Chuck took full advantage of this. When Ms. Alice said she didn't have seconds, she went on to help some other children clean up. While she had her back turned, Chuck took his empty plate and put it in front of Caleb ( who, remember, never touches his food) and took Caleb's full plate and put it in front of himself. Ms. Alice looked over and saw him doing it. Chuck knew he was caught because when he does something he isn't supposed to, he looks out of the corners and tops of his eyes and won't make eye contact. Ms. Alice turned back around and Chuck quietly devoured Caleb's lunch. What a riot! I didn't know he was smart enough to do that.... and even smarter to not just take someone's food but to put him empty plate in front of them. I think I might be in trouble.... this kid is gonna be a lot smarter than his parents.

Not so super

Superman's day was not so super. No pictures here. Superman busted his ear today at school and it is bloody, swollen, and bruised. He was a trooper, refused ice and continued on with his day.

However, he loves wheels. So much so that he likes to hold on to wagon wheels. So on the wagon ride today at school he was holding on but no one really noticed. He currently has wheel marks and an absence of skin on his right hand.

Rough day for the kid but still was smiling and giving lots of hugs at the end of the day. ( And even allowed ... although screaming the whole time.....me to wash his hair.)

Oh, and my observation on Wednesday is rescheduled.... again...

Works in Progress

Just a few videos from this weekend.

First we have the jumping star. You can also see his attempt to count and hold up fingers ( we are working on it so please don't judge the number confusion quite yet...)

Also, weighing in at 30 pounds, we have the cat lover.... ( he is screaming Molly at the beginning... again we are working on names, so don't judge )

And finally the dancer. Now these moves are about near perfect so there is only showing off to be done here.

Happy Halloween to everyone! Hopefully some costume pictures will be posted tomorrow. Dr. asked me on his way out to work tonight if I had tomorrow off since it was a holiday. I told him he really needs to get out more... out of the hospital. If only, Dr. was president.

Our Saturday!

Well the pictures have been slim lately. Just gotta get through this observation and then I'm home free! It got rescheduled for this Wednesday.

Anyways, here's what the Chuckster has been up to today.

Having some Halloween snack.




Loving Molly..... Molly not so much loving it.




Making art with a squirt bottle and some colored paper. After he found the squirt bottle, I had to figure out how to stop him from squirting me in the rear.




Destroying the living room while I attempt to vacuum the house ( and for the first time, made some progress!)




And helping mommy with laundry. ( the only way I can keep him in one place but he loves it!)

Poof Pumpkin

I know you all have been waiting to see what my mother-in-law and a pumpkin had to do with our lovely Sunday. Well my friends, the queen of inflatables has made her mark in Jackson and officially crowned her grandson the king of inflatables!

Can it get any cooler than this for a 18 month old... excuse me, Monday he will be 19 months.

Apparently, with age comes lack of patience.... if only mommy would leave him alone while he is reading.

Chuck did go on a goose ride today. He always kisses and hugs a goose that is in the yard across the street from us. ( Yes, we are those people that take it upon ourselves to play in others yards). Today, Chuck decided he would actually sit on the goose. Not so sure what I am going to do when he snaps the gooses' neck off.

And just a side note.... remember to brush everyday..... the bristle end of the toothbrush will get things cleaner though.
