army guys & laundry.


I told Easton that all of his little army guys needed to have a little "time out" break because they were always everywhere, and it seems to be such an overwhelming task for him to clean them up.

I was thinking about it, and I think that I need a little "time out" break from doing laundry. It's always everywhere, and it is such and overwhelming task sometimes. :)

In my defense... my current "laundry room" is right in the middle of my kitchen, nice and open for everyone to behold it's lovely presence. 

I just have to keep telling myself that this is a temporary space... ACTUALLY it's very temporary, because we will be MOVING AGAIN before November. That's right people, the 3rd time this year! I promise to divulge more details soon, it's pretty exciting stuff.  

At which point I can continue to dream of laundry rooms like this one:

A new season.



I am thinking about starting the potty training process for Nixon. I NEVER... never thought that I would start so young for him, because in my one experience helping Easton learn to use the potty... I told myself that I wouldn't try before the age of 3! But Nixon is VERY interested, and he has gone pee pee a few times and just this morning after he woke up he looked at me and said "uh-oh! poo poo on the potty" then he ran to the bathroom, and I helped him take his DRY diaper from the night off and he immediately pooped! So... I am left thinking, why on earth would I postpone something like this? 
Then I think that the boy isn't even 2 yet!? 

I am feeling a new season coming in my parenting. Nixon is no longer a baby, and if he really does stop wearing diapers then that seals the deal of no longer being "baby Nixon".
And please don't get me started on Easton. I love watching him grow, but he just doesn't stop! 

Change is good... right?
