Ok, so my name isn't really Francesca - but as much as I hate to admit it - the scream escapes me from time to time. The truth is for the working mom (and hey - prolly the stay-at-home mom too!) you've had a long stressful day and the last thing you want to hear is whining because some one has to go to the bathroom - SO GO ALREADY. Thankfully Tyler has a wonderful father who helps me keep it all together - an I for him is well. Funny how two parents can balance each other out.
But some times you both had a rotten day and it's up to Tyler to make us smile. As I sat in the computer chair this evening Tyler climbs in my lap and says "yee-haw - giddy up". I asked him if he was a cowboy, "Yes" he said. "Oh, well what's your cowboy name then" "Ummm - I dunno. But there's my horsey right over there!" As he points to Allen sitting on the couch. Oh, you might have had to been there - but it was pretty funny, and it made me smile and forget my whole day. How I love my life.

"hey mom.....I POOPED!"
Yes folks. It has finally happed. I think it is safe to say (finally with out jinxing myself) that Tyler is OFFICIALLY POTTY TRAINED! It really didn't take him long. About 1 week before his birthday we started switching to underwear and only a handful of accidents since. We had some road blocks with pooping for a bit (by the way - no one tells you how much you'll be cleaning poop from underwear - now you know) and after trying literally EVERY trick in the book it really came down to just leaving him alone to work it out. Yes, I let my kid sit on the toilet himself for an hour, but ya know what - NO MORE ACCIDENTS! And the best part is that he gets SO excited!
Since Tyler has been 3 - it's been - well, like some one flipped a switch actually. Everyone warns you about the terrible twos - yeah watch out for the twisted threes! I love Tyler more than anything but I never know what kid he is going to be. This week was a VERY snuggly, cranky, whiney kind of week. Week before was - "I wanna do it" week. Ya just never know. I guess I can say he keeps us on our toes.
He is learning so much and I couldn't be more greatful. He can say his ABC'S and growing with numbers each day. He knows all his colors and LOVES to match things. Tyler also loves to be in the kitchen and be my "biggest helper". I let him help me make anything that I can, it's such a great bonding expirience for us. He also is a big help in the garage helping Allen with his race car when ever he can as well. As much as neither of us really want to see him behind the wheel of a race car - I am afraid it's inevitable. This kid has it in his blood.
Tyler is very excited about Allen and I getting married and I can't wait to see them both in their tuxes. Just nine months from today - we will officially become The Davis Family.
Kindest Regards,
Al, Jeni and Ty
