Just a Warning: This One is About Poop

Until recently we've been using a little toilet for Oscar - one that sits on the floor of the bathroom and must be cleaned out after every use. Last week I switched to a potty ring that sits on the adult sized toilet (and requires no cleanup!). However Oscar is used to sitting on the ground where he can stand up, look inside the potty and check on his progress, especially when he is pooping. He likes to identify the various sized and shaped poops, usually as either a snake or little balls. So, a few days ago he's sitting on the big potty and he is working on a poop. He asks me excitedly if it looks like a snake. I say we'll have to wait and look inside when he's all done. He finishes. We look inside to see several small lumps. Oscar quickly identifies it: "it's a family!"

Turns out Hooters is a great place for kids

I can't take credit for this - it's all my husband's doing. While I was out of town he took Oscar to eat lunch at Hooters. Apparently, it was awesome and Oscar had a great time. He got doted on by all the pretty ladies ("my ladies" as he calls all pretty ladies), got two balloons, a plastic fireman's helmet, a hot dog for lunch and was allowed to take off his shoes and dance in the booth.

I can't help but laugh when I think about it. It's so funny to picture them at Hooter's. Chris says none of the pretty ladies paid any attention to him; they were only interested in Oscar. Which makes it even funnier.
