Life in the Boonies

5/1 - We drive out to grandma’s house and Timmy was cuddled up in a blanket the whole car ride there. We thought he was so cute. Earlier of course Frank was fighting with Timmy over the blanket. So on the drive back home, Frank finally got the blanket and sitting in the carseat he wrapped it around himself and said “granny, I’m cute.” Yes he has gone from dama to granny for grandma.

Timmy is carrying around Frank’s two pencils. One of the tip broke off. Timmy tells me “it broke” I asked “who broke it?” He said “somebody else” Timmy is indecisive on the lemonade at lunch. “I like it. I don’t like it.” On repeat and entertained everyone.

5/2 - Frank wakes up late today. He comes into my room and says “Mommy, it’s 7-3-3. Time to wake up.” I looked at the clock and indeed 7:33. I ignored him. He said “how many minutes then we get up? 5? 1?” We decided on 1.

Bath time with Ariel: Frank was talking about poison again. He is pouring poison into Ariel’s tail. I tell him mermaids don’t have poison. He said she does. So when Evil Ursula comes, Ariel will ‘fong pi’ (fart) poison onto Ursula.

May is almost over so here is a summary. Timmy is potty trained! We had some ups and downs and eventually popsicles pulled through for us. He pees standing on a stepping stool and poops in his little potty. He pulls his pants down and takes them off. Then takes his socks off too before going poop. He needs privacy so he calls me when done and bends over for cleanup. I never had to show him how to do that. He does exactly when Frank does, so he has been watching. His little butt sticking in the air. He always gets to the mat before bending.

Frank and Timmy fights over the bb’s and everything else. One time Frank wanted the kitty cat stuff animal and Timmy said no. He threw my old expired credit card and Frank and said you can have this. Frank said ok and picked it up. Then Timmy decided he wanted the credit card. Frank said “Timmy you have to decide. You can’t have both. You already picked.” It all sounded good until he tried to hit Timmy. Then he saw me looking and immediately said sorry. Yes now when Timmy cries Frank will say “I already said sorry.”

Frank climbs up the pillars of the house. At first only on one side. Now he climbs on one side, reach the top, moves to the other side and comes down. He does it every moment he gets. He has to take his socks off so every morning when he is already dressed for school we end up late because he takes his socks off and climbs. Then Timmy also stripes down cuz he needs to be in his PJs all day long. He doesn’t like the pants, the shirt and he just starts to take them off. He can’t take shirts off yet but he always takes his pants off.
