A Day in the Life, Well... Two Actually!

Hey ya'll. Sorry it has been a little while, yet again, since I wrote. I have had a few things happen the last week that I figured might be worth sharing. I should have wrote about them separately but oh well, sometimes it just doesn't happen that way. This last Sunday we had a visitor, Gail and Michael's grandson came to visit. Conveniently enough, his name is also Michael. Little Michael is what they call him, even though he isn't really all that little, he actually just graduated from high school. Anyway, he got to enjoy a day in Celeste's world. We played with Eryn outside all day. We did everything from try to fly kites (which there really wasn't enough wind for that, but try telling that to an excited 5 year old) to catching lizards. That is one thing that there is plenty of here in Louisiana. It isn't uncommon for me to sit out on the deck and be visited by 3 or 4 lizards. They come out and sit by me, they stare for a bit trying to decide whether Im a friend or foe...then they run off. Anyway, I took some pictures of our day together. You are prob thinking, finally, some different pictures. Haha.
Anyway, so the other thing that I wanted to mention to the masses is this... let me set the stage. Last night, Gail and Mike decided that they were going to go to a movie. They needed to get out of the house for a bit and I wasn't gonna complain cause to tell you the truth, I needed some time without them as well. Anyway, part of Eryn and I's routine when we are alone together at night is that I put her in the tub and she plays and then she gets ready for bed. Sounds easy enough right? Well, last night I put her in the tub. She was happily playing with her growing assortment of bath toys ( she adds new ones almost every night, I think she is up to like 30 toys). I happened to get a phone call and so I stepped away for a moment to tell the caller that I would call them back in a few minutes. After hanging up the phone I turned back to Eryn just in time to catch her in the process of going poop in the tub and then proceeding to pick it up... play with it... and then put it in the toilet which is right next to the tub.... Ok, now in my mind Im thinking.... uh, what the heck?!? You are 5 years old, you should know better. There is something wrong with this picture.... but what actually came out of my mouth was more to the tune of.... Eryn, you get out of the bath tub right now.... why did you go poop in the tub instead of getting out and using the toilet. She really didn't want to get out of the tub because she wasn't done playing... but since she prob thinks Im a mean nanny anyway, I made her get out. I wasn't about to let her continue playing in water in which she just shat.... Anyway, needless to say the bath tub and all the tub toys have now been soaked in bleach and hopefully she learned that it is soooo not cool to use the tub as a latrine. Anyway, has been the goings on of the week in my world... I hope to be better at keeping you guys all updated. Sorry there is not picture of the floating log.
