Day 3 Grandma VS the 2 year old

Isaac woke up totally dry this morning. Yipee. But we did have a potty run at 3:30 AM but that was ok. Isaac was grumpy this morning and crying just because. I can do naughty little boys but I don’t do crying just cuz I want to. I was ready to send him away but he left the kitchen. I went to check on him and he had put himself in the naughty corner without me saying anything. After he got things under control, he came back out and everything was ok. Good job mom and dad. We are going to bed close to on time and getting our naps, but there is lots to do at grandma’s so we are both kinda tired. The boys are both taking long naps.

Isaac had a little run-in with Mark and I had to discipline him. Life for a grandma can be tough. But we got it all worked out and Isaac promised to be nice to Mark for the rest of his life so that problem is solved.

We got waffles with syrup today. Anything tastes good with syrup on it. This is Isaac being strong.
This is Mark being strong. When I said the blessing this morning I blessed the food to make us strong. I heard Mark grunt. I had to peek. Yep, he was doing his STRONG pose and he pulls this funny face. At least I know that he was listening.
What a bod.


2 cute boys

Today's ice cream cone. He decided to eat the bottom first so I had to spoon feed him the ice cream first.
Isaac didn't need any help

Both boys were happy with this bike arrangement
We did good today but I am NOT the model granny that I may be portraying. They are here. I feed them, I bath them, I fight with the 2 yr old because I want to be a control freak and he wants to be a 2 yr old. In the end he does what he wants and I am learning that that is ok.
We had a bit of an episode this morning. I fell asleep on the couch this morning. I was so tired but I thought I had an idea of what was going on, until I opened my eyes and Isaac said that he needed to go poo and the 30 min TV show that was just starting was over and another one was on. I got a glimpse of Isaac as he walks by and he is naked from the waist down AND there is poop on his bum. Great! What kind of a mess do I have. He takes me to my bathroom where he had taken his stool and he had taken care of business in the potty all by himself without his potty "booster seat". I can't believe that he was that brave. He had wiped his bum or at least put TP in the toilet. I'm glad that the roll was almost empty I don't know how much he would have used. Wheeew! I got out of a mess and he is working on his independence. Oh and then I asked him where his underwear was. He took me to the garbage. I'm not sure if he thought it was the dirty clothes hamper.
One more tidbit. My garage door is broken and it is shut and my car is in the garage. I get to try to find someone to work on it tomorrow.

Stay tuned for more adventures.

You are doing great! I have goals of feeding and dressing my kids. Anything else, I get nominated for mother-of-the-year! How long do you have the kids for?

Wow! Sounds like Grandma and the 2 year old are both going to come out on top! That's quite impressive.

I love the half naked boy story! Sometimes I just put the underwear in the garbage myself. I have more heart to go buy a new pair than scrub that out. love the stories
