Funny Bathroom Humor

OK - I have two funny Tessa stories from this weekend.

Sunday morning, Tessa slept in which allowed Mommy and Daddy to sleep in. When she woke up I went and got her and brought into the room with us while we woke up and got our morning routine going. Mike went in to go to the bathroom and of course Tessa followed him in. She just stared at him while he was peeing which made Mike REALLY uncomfortable. So then Tessa decided she wanted to go peepee on the potty. So she ran over to her little potty and I took her PJ's and diaper off (she like to be COMPLETELY naked when she goes potty). Then she stood in front of the toilet, just like Daddy, and was pretending to hold something down below. I tried to explain that she needed to turn around and SIT down like a lady, but she didn't understand that. So, no more learning from Daddy how to go potty.

Sunday night, Tessa and I were in the bath-tub together and she was really gassy. She had beans over at Omi's the nightbefore, at least that's all I can think of that would have made her that gassy. And every time after she passed gas she would say "Excuse Me" (I'm trying to teach her some manners) and then would go "What's That?" And would tell her it's a toot, and she would repeat the word toot. Then the next time........."Excuse Me. What's That?" It was too funny.

Yucky, Nasty, Gross

Yucky, nasty and gross are the latest additions to Tessa's ever-expanding vocabulary. We use it when we try to tell her not to pick her nose or eat stuff off the floor, or if we just don't want her to touch something (like wet paint). The problem is that she will say "That's yucky. That's gross" and then STILL eat something off the floor.

Her vocabulary is just amazing. Now, every time she hears an airplane she say "Airplane! Do you hear it? Do you see it?" She also is trying to say Helicopter, but it pretty much gets butchered when it comes out.

Snow in Atlanta

It only lasted a day, but it sure was a beautiful sight.

We went for a walk through our neighborhood and Gretchen (our cat) walked the ENTIRE way with us and no, she was not on a leash. Tessa didn't want to sit in the stroller, so I tried putting Gretchen in there thinking her poor little paws were getting cold, but she just wanted to walk along with us. It was pretty funny.

Butcher

I guess it was bound to happen at some point. I had Tessa's hair cut yesterday and they totally Butchered it. She looks like Prince Valiant. They just cut her bangs straight across, no layering, or pieces or feathering, just a straight chop. It's not even level, it looks like one side is higher than the other. My poor little bug. Now I HAVE to put her hair in one of those dopey little pony tails on top so she looks normal. It looked cute with a little clip, but she never keeps those in. And the little pony tail to the side was cute, but it's almost too short to do that.

Uuuuugggggghhhhhhh, why did I listen to Mike and Omi complaining about her bangs in her face. I should have just let them grow out and be done with it. Hopefully, she will get the bad hair cuts out of the way now while SHE doesn't care what her hair looks like.

One of the teachers in her day-care said that she used to cut hair and would take a look at it, but I'm not sure what can be done to salvage it. I'll pay for the more expensive kids place next time.

Prepared for the Snow

We're ready for the GIANT snow storm. I'm not sure that 1"-3" qualifies, but anytime there is a hint of snow the city shuts down.

Go Jackets!

I'm teaching a class at Georgia Tech tonight and am a litle nervous. I teach internal training classes all the time with no problem, but for some reason this class has me nervous. I'll be teaching them about Concrete as it relates to Commercial Construction. Should be fun. Wish me luck.

Smarty Pants

Tessa knows all the kids in her class names. She will also identify each parent by the child (even if the child is not with parents, she'll recognize them and say "Alex" or "Lilly". But the really amazing thing is that she also knows everyone's jackets and when she see's one of the parents walk in she will run up to the coats and grab the correct one for each child. Her little mind is so amazing.

She will also count now, although for some reason she starts with 3, then will say 4 5 6 7 skip 8, sometimes she says 9 and then yells 10! Sometimes if I say 1, she'll say 2, but she really doesn't start with 1 yet. Mommy is very proud of her little bug.
