Moose Sorry about you dog. That's the only thing that really is keeping me from getting a dog; the end part. She sounds very much a member of the family, with people coming to have a visit. I'm sure it helped her lots in keeping her spirits up. Animals get depressed too. I've researched endlessly on the appropriate dog for us and have come up with a Great Dane or Deer Hound, (which is a short haired Wolf Hound, basically). I love BIG dogs and these two are, apparently, the best family temperament and minimal supervision. Great city dogs, funnily enough. Can't wait to get a house, just to get a cat even. I love cats. UG is allergic to animals so we can't get one here. BooHoo.
Dog and PooBoy.
lol It sounds to me like its a boy thinking he is being very cheeky and funny. I would let him be smelly for a day, although I know that it'll probably be worse for you, but really, I'd keep crapping my pants too if someone was going to bathe me. lol
Boys, eh? Dirty little beggars.
God help me if I'm having a boy.
Had a melt down night before last, all over milk. I forgot to buy cow milk for myself, (I get a drink in the middle of the night and it gets me through the to the morning.) and ask DH to pick some up on his way home, including coffee, which I also forgot. Yes, I had a list, but it just doesn't seem to work. I get the least bit distracted by DD and her shenanigans and find myself getting cross to fast with her, and shopping goes to the pits. Anyhow, he remembered the coffee, which he got from the restaurant, but didn't think to pick up milk at the corner store for some reason. At 3am, I interpreted it, after his 'you had the car all day' comment, that he did it out of spite. We had a huge fight in the morning, I brought up everything that is burning me ass, we missed the Bday party and Christmas card photo shoot because I was irate and simple couldn't muster a smile. Last night we had a huge, calm talk and have sorted everything out. He is going to start going in at 10am on days that I go to the gym and two days at noon so I can do some work. Every other day we change up who gets up with DD, unless one of us had a very tiring night. After crunching numbers, we just can't pull off the daycare because we are more interested in saving for a house but we are going to go out once a month, just the two of us, and I get my one night out for dinner with my mom girls. He is welcome to stay late a couple nights at work to sit and have drinks too. As long as I get the mornings to work or go to the gym, I'm fine with this. Its about a better balance for us both. I don't want to be the wife that makes her husband quick his career just to be home at night to bathe his kids, but I need more support from him. I also understand he needs to get out to for his hockey, so its all organized. We just can't continue all willy nilly now; we need a schedule. I feel really good today, a relaxed. I hope this baby isn't too stressed. I know DD has been upset by our arguing lately. She hollers at as if we are even just talking passionately about something, not even arguing. I don't want her to grow up in the environment I did where the parents were always arguing. Anyhow, its sorted. 
The night before last, DD pooed on the potty!!! Usually in the tub, she'll poo, then holler. This time, she was yelling 'Poo poo mommy!' and standing there doing a little dance. I noticed there was no poo in the tub and asked if she want to sit on the potty. She was like 'ya ya ya' and just as I got her on, she pooed! But she hates to poo, it upsets her. Too funny. But I praised and praised her and she came around to the idea. So happy. With the obesity in my family though, I use quarters instead of food to give her when she uses the potty. I don't want to have food associated with reward. My sisters 'reward' themselves too much. DD loves to get a quarter and put it in her piggy bank. Too cute.
Have a great day all... its lovely blue skies here today. We are off to the city for a bit of shopping then for a hottub swim with DD while DH plays hockey.
