Lexi has figured out how to take her diaper off and does it ALL the time. The boys never took off their diapers,so I am somewhat at a loss as to how (or if) to deal with this. Normally, I let her run around naked for a bit, with momentary spurts of sitting on the potty until she has had her fill of being naked and lets me put a diaper back on her.
This morning, in honor of Mother's Day, she left me an extra special present on the toy room floor. Yup, a big poop. Lovely - just what I wanted for Mother's Day. Luckily it was on the hardwood floor so it was easy to clean up, but I will be very glad once she is really potty trained.
The rest of the morning was spent moving the office furniture into the basement and trying to get somewhat organized. Then Lou's folks stopped by after lunch to see the kids and check out our almost completed basement. It was a nice surprise.
Now if I could only figure out where all this paper in the office came from and where on earth I am going to put it all!

Haircut and Attitudes
Lexi has been peeing on the potty at least once a day which is pretty awesome. Less awesome is the fit she throws after I determine that she has run around naked long enough and needs to put a diaper on before having some kind of accident on the floor.
Today we took the kids to pick out a tree to plant in the back yard. Lexi threw a fit as we were leaving the first place we stopped at since she didn't want to get into her carseat. So she was very quiet during the ride to Home Depot. Luis thought she was falling asleep, but I said, "no, she's just mad at mommy". I turned around to look at her and said, "right -you're just mad at mommy" and damn if she didn't look at me and then roll her eyes. Luis saw it too and busted out laughing. Seriously - at 18 months she's going to start rolling her eyes at me?? Neither of the boys have picked up that lovely attitude (yet). Is it a girl thing?
Lexi finally had her first haircut on Thursday. The ends kept getting tangled, so I wanted her to get a trim. She looks adorable and even though I can't get the ponytails even, at least she has graduated to 2 (verses the one that made her look like a unicorn).
Nicolas is almost done his latest round of antibiotics for strep. I swear someone in this house is always on medicine for something! This is the third bout of strep Nicolas has had this year. Its like a bad penny that keeps turning up.
