Today I tried to get out there and water all the flowers, and the garden. I love having them all, but it take some time to care for! I had to trim back some roses, and dead head alot of flowers. I try to keep up with this so that all keeps growing, and maintaining new blooms. I planted the new plant, had to stake it up since it was windy...and low and behold, I found some poppies in my wild flowers! YES!
They are there! One pink one was in full bloom, and 2/3 butterfly bushes are now blooming. Beau grabbed his red bucket and ran around in his underwear picking strawberries! lol!
Later on in the house, Leah, who supposed to be napping d/t her nasty demeanor, was NOT napping one wink. I got her up and her and Beau played in his room while I made lunch. I heard Beau playing Drew's barbie guitar, yelling out over and over, "oh yeah! yeah! oh yeah!" So I went back to let them know lunch was done, but he wasn't expecting me to walk in, and became emmediately embarrassed by my seeing him playing the guitar. He's getting older, and along with it comes some shyness/embarrassment. Funny.
My sister came out and babysat for me since I had to work today. I guess the little ones really gave her a run for her money! They must have really been trying to test the waters since my sister isn't really an authoritative figure with them. She is the fun one. Mom means business, but they had to feel Auntie out tonight. I feel bad, but then again, they will learn. Unfortunately Beau pooped his pants while my sister was watching them, I had made sure he wore a pull up in case of this, but it's just getting ridiculous. I honestly think he is afraid of the toilet. Regardless, my sister was not gonna clean him up and I had warned him of this, she made him start taking care of it himself. Maybe this will make him think!
One BIG surprise...I haven't started potty training Leah, but she just might potty train herself since tonight while I was at work, she told my sister and Grace both that she needed to pee, and sure enough did just that once they sat her on the toilet. And, she had a dry diaper too! WoW! I am SO impressed, not a single one of my other 3 did this on thier own incentive. I just have to get that stinkin' ba-ba away from her. Not sure why, but she has taken to wanting one after another, and not eating! Drives me crazy! (Yes, my dtr still has a bottle at 2 yrs. 3 months old! I have not taken the bottle from any of my kids till 2 1/2, and not a single one has EVER gotten baby bottle tooth decay, that comes from Mom's that give kids juice and pop in bottles and let them run around with it all day long, and NOT brushing thier teeth for them!)
