She will be upset with me when she's older...

but Richard insisted that I write about it. As you may have guessed, since we have a toddler, we are busy learning how to use the potty chair and toilet here. It comes up in conversation quite a bit. For example, when Evie uses the potty or toilet like a big girl, she will mention who else is a big girl when it comes to pottying. She usually mentions Mama and Emily, and sometimes Daddy. Well, lately Papa Al, Logan, and Uncle Jeff are also big girls who potty in the toilet. Aren't you glad to know that you're a big girl, little brother?

She also loves her new book. We picked it up when we were in KC. It is called "Everyone Poops". We read it a lot. "An elephant makes a big poop. A mouse makes a tiny poop..."

We've been traveling a lot in the past couple of weeks, and eating more fast food than we should. The change in diet has affected poor Evie, and she's gotten a little "backed up" on occasion. The poor girl is feeling much better now, but coined a new sign combo in our house that has her Daddy rolling on the floor. The new phrase? "Scary" + "poop". Scary poop. I guess that is pretty accurate to describe constipation. She now signs it just to make Daddy laugh. Sometimes she throws in a "boots", which she sometimes uses for bottom (booty), but more often means passing gas.

Kids are Fun!
