Potty humor.


Apparently, June has her daddy's sense of humor. She thinks fart noises are hilarious. In this little clip, Andy is blowing raspberries and June is delighted.

In related news, Ruby is much closer to being potty trained. We gave up diapers last week. Cold turkey. It was a rough few days. Lots of extra laundry. Mountains of laundry. I bought a little kitchen timer to help us remember when to go. Potty training has been much better since that little purchase. She has has a few consecutive dry days (though we still have work to do on #2).

Speaking of Ruby, I took her to the ER Sunday night. She dislocated her elbow again (6th time, in case you lost count). I took her to the hospital because she was complaining about wrist pain too. Anyhow, the arm popped back into place while we waited and waited to see the doctor. So by the time we actually saw the doctor, Ruby was climbing on chairs and crawling around... obviously no longer injured. But the doctor looked her over anyhow... and he found a small green bead in her ear. He let me take a look. And there it was, a tiny glass bead. Nice. He asked Ruby how it go there and she proudly told him, "I put it there." So the ER wasn't a total waste... except the doctor couldn't get it out, so he referred us to an ear-nose-throat specialist.

And just for smiles...

I love finding pictures like this on our camera. Nothing better than a sneaky self-portrait by Alli!

June is just too cute!

Good luck on the potty training... I'm sure Ruby will commit to it when SHE decides she's ready. lol. And I hope you can get that bead out!

Alli's pics always crack me up. :)

Wasn't it you that stuck a bean in your nose when you were little?
Emma stuck a polly pocket shoe up her nose just for fun when she was little. Almost had to see a specialist, but the silly thing finally came out!

Yes. I don't remember much about the bean... only that it was in my nose. Ruby has an appointment on June 10th with a specialist... I hope it just falls out before then.
