being smothered

more poop stories

i don’t want to jinx it but we are on day 4 of dylan pooping in the toilet.  he is so proud of himself.  the first day he did it he was screaming “poop” with his arms up in victory all night long. *update*  i think it jinxed it.

quarantined

ugh…we’re all sick, except john (knock on wood) he’s managed to dodge this terrible (i think) flu.  poor dylan caught owen’s stomach bug of last week and the flu at the same time.  so he was exploding from both ends with flu symptoms on top of it.  i caught the flu and owen is just [...]
