Virtual Tantrum

Sorry for the delay...I threw a "virtual tantrum". I couldn't get my Post to look that way I wanted it (at least as not as easily as I hoped), so I quit. I wanted to put pictures in the middle of my post. Apparently I would have to edit the HTML coding and cut and paste and ...faggetabahhtit! But I'm back :)

After navigating through some rough waters for a couple weeks, Mama and Papa B have regained control of this emotional rollercoaster and are headed for better days. Whew! The kids are fine. We are in the final phase of potty training with Big Brother and ... sigh... I am up to my elbows in wet sheets, blankets and teddy bears. How do you train someone to recognize "pee-pee" signs while they sleep. And I mean SLEEP. He sleeps like his Daddy-dead to the world. [someone might want to take away my " " buttons today] I'm clueless. I'm trying to bribe him with a party. This is the same party that was to be held a couple weeks ago. It got postponed due to "rain" (really PEE). Can't really justify having an "Almost Trained" Party. So I'll wait. But it's killing me. I've got so many cool ideas now! We also make sure to pray to Jehovah every night to help him 'listen to his body' while he's sleeping. We've tried waking him up in the middle of the night...but we're usually too late. Daddy is soon going to use the tried-n-true Spanking Method. Breaks my heart, but it works every time. A Daddy "spanking" is really just a few smacks..with some pretty hefty hands though. Anyhoo..Baby B is getting around well now on his hands and knees. He still reverts to the "Dead Man" Crawl when he's really on a mission, but he is realizing the conventional way works too. He's still pretty brat-ish, contrary to popular belief. He's a big-time Mama's boy. Fancy that - the first didn't want me near him and the second can't stand to be apart...wow. I guess as long as he grows out of it before he's 18, I'll live.
