Potty Party update...

We're not there yet but there is progress to report. Jennifer's Three Day Plan worked, trouble is he thinks the only reason for going pee pee in the potty is to get a cookie and if your not hungry or have a project going then WHY BOTHER.

We got a pleasant surprise yesterday when Jack his first poop in the potty. He did this all by himself while Jennifer was on the phone. This poop cost Papa a $15.00 trip to Cold Stone Ice Cream to celebrate the big event but his mom did save fifteen cents on a diaper. Mimi, Jennifer, Jack, Baker all enjoyed the ice cream. Back at the house, Papa wondered why Jennifer would put a bib on Jack when he had on the same ice cream stained tee shirt? Oxy Clean really does work.

If you happen to be around Jack's house and a naked little boy runs by you'll know we're still working on Potty Party Time.

Aunt Caroline comes to Charleston.

Mimi and Papa trying to get a little rest between trips to the beach with Jack. Baby Baker isn't a big beach fan..YET!

Aunt Caroline made her annual migration from West "By God" Virgina to Charleston and we all spent 4 days at Folly Beach during her stay.
Jack made about 4 trips a day down to the water and let me tell you that would be a hard project for a platoon of Marines to pull off. Let's see, you got your beach chairs, umbrella, big truck, 3 shovels, small truck--it kept getting lost--water, towels and toy boats. Not to mention suntan lotion, wet bathing suits, sand up the ying yang and a gaggle of sandals. Thank God it rained several afternoons.

We also did beach walks, pedicab rides, bicycle rides, stepper bike rides and fixed enought food for those Marines.

We've had some rain!


Jack had on his orange Crocks, dirty pants and stained tee shirt: never a better time for mud puddle wadding. The first time he wandered into the big ditch he got wet to the neck..it just can't get much better than that.
