<\/a><\/p>\nThe rest of the week was fine.<\/p>\n
I had lunch with Carrie on Thursday at Common Bond. \u00a0These macarons were really yummy, especially the peanut butter and jelly. \u00a0Betsy had an apple sauce and a croissant for lunch :)<\/p>\n
We did a little shopping afterward. \u00a0I am now only a couple people away from finishing my Christmas shopping! \u00a0And I don’t feel the least bit crazy having done most of it by mid October. \u00a0I feel smart…and just a wee bit crazy. \u00a0I almost bought this, but couldn’t justify $65 for it.<\/p>\n This may be too much information for some of you, it’s poop talk, so move on if you’re not interested. \u00a0We’ve been having a lot of trouble with Carson pooping on the potty. \u00a0He has never once had an accident in his pants and does a great job peeing on the potty, even on his own. \u00a0But poop has been a huge challenge. \u00a0A while back he went a week without going and when I finally put a diaper on him he had a really hard time. \u00a0Recently he’s been pooping on the potty, but not without big time screaming and tears. \u00a0This week I think we had a little breakthrough. \u00a0Twice I asked him to pee on the potty and he got upset, I know this means he needs to poop. \u00a0I got him to sit on the potty, but he screamed so much and Christopher had woken up so I told him to go run around outside and when he was ready to com inside and poop on the potty. \u00a0I greatly emphasized not pooping in his underwear. \u00a0A few minutes later he came in, declared he needed to poop, took his underwear off and pooped on the potty! \u00a0He did this again a few days later. \u00a0No tears either time. \u00a0I think we’re on the road to a happier and healthier pooping experience.<\/p>\n This happened on Friday morning. \u00a0Sorry, but you know moms are obsessed with poop, don’t you?<\/p>\n On Friday afternoon we went to the Houston arboretum to see my friend Megan, who volunteers there. \u00a0The kids did a good job and it was a lot of fun. \u00a0Betsy’s favorite thing was the fish. \u00a0Carson loved listening on these phones. \u00a0When you picked them up and pressed a button they’d tell you about certain things in the tree. \u00a0After we left we picked up some cupcakes and headed home for naps.<\/p>\n On Saturday morning I had the news on and they were showing footage of some kids crying, I feel bad now that I don’t remember where it was. \u00a0Carson asked Ben what was wrong with the kids. \u00a0Ben did a great job of explaining that in certain parts of the world people are hungry and aren’t safe and how blessed we are to live where we do and have everything we need and more. \u00a0Then Carson says, “I think we should go there and help those people feel better.” \u00a0My heart just about exploded. \u00a0What an amazing thing for a 3 year old to say.<\/p>\n Some pictures of the little guy.<\/p>\n We were in Round Rock on Monday and headed back home around nap time. Betsy fell asleep almost immediately and was still asleep as we approached La Grange. \u00a0I had told myself we’d only stop for cookies if everyone was awake. \u00a0Just as I got to the exit Betsy and Christopher woke up! \u00a0It was … [Read more…]<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"spay_email":"","jetpack_publicize_message":""},"categories":[34],"tags":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/sWbPG-4152","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hottie-biscotti.com\/babyz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3828"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hottie-biscotti.com\/babyz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hottie-biscotti.com\/babyz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hottie-biscotti.com\/babyz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hottie-biscotti.com\/babyz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3828"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/www.hottie-biscotti.com\/babyz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3828\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3869,"href":"https:\/\/www.hottie-biscotti.com\/babyz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3828\/revisions\/3869"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hottie-biscotti.com\/babyz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3828"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hottie-biscotti.com\/babyz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3828"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hottie-biscotti.com\/babyz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3828"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a> <\/a> <\/a> <\/a><\/p>\n<\/a> <\/a> <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
