Day Two -- FIELD TRIP!

That's right folks...am I the coolest teacher in the world or what? Field trip on the second day of school?!? LOL We did a little school this morning, then went to the library for a program there and the standard book and movie exchange, and then to Borders for a quick stop (more on that in a minute), then we decided to go to the fair! I'm not normally up for going to the fair. I HATE heat, and it's usually wretched hot. But notsomuch today, and it was my husband's employer's 'day' at the fair, so we got in free and all. We had a fun time! G did really great for his age. Walked around like a little trooper, stroller free. E, well, not much complaining about the walking, but kept working us over about getting stuff. That's my little material boy. Favorite quote of the day from him, after he took a bit of the pork chop on a stick, which he didn't think he'd like "Gee boy, that's good!!" G loved all the animals, as I knew he would....and is actually a large part of why we went.

So you know yesterday, on that momentus first day of school? I forgot to mention that I did FIVE loads of laundry too....only, notsomuch afterall. I went to get that last load out of the dryer today, and found that I'd forgotten to close the lid of the washer, so, well, that load got an extra long soak cycle. :)

On the potty training front....not too bad today. One wet accident at the fair (were brave and didn't do a pullup), and one here after we got home. Other, um, deposits correctly placed. Progress!!! Oh yes...the Borders story....I'd bought a truck stickerbook a few months ago and told G he could have it when he made the above-mentioned deposit in the potty. So Sunday, he earned that...and proceeded to LOSE IT somewhere yesterday. We called McD's to see if he left it there at breakfast, and no luck...and he was really upset...and this was a BIG DEAL he learned to do it. So back we went to Borders today. At first it appeared we were out of luck, but then as the worker there was checking on the computer to see if they had any in stock, G spotted ONE on the shelf. SCORE! Now the old one will probably show up...

Ok, well tomorrow is a school day, with little other planned. Suppose I'd better clean some too....oh goody.
