Giggles and Groans

Last night we had a great dinner over at Libbygirl's place. She threw a cookout for the playgroup, which was a lot of fun. I had a selfish reason for leaving early, I wanted to watch the Charlie Brown Thanksgiving Special on ABC. 

X-man has never really seen Snoopy. And he didn't understand until I turned it on, how fun it was. Snoopy gets in a fight with an unruly lawnchair in the middle and X-man almost fell over giggling. It was very, very cute. By the time it was over he was asking for "More! More Snoopy!" We own the Christmas special, so we'll probably watch that this weekend while we're trying our hand at potty training.

We're exploring our options. X-man has used the potty every time to pee (on a schedule) at school this week. Plus, we've gotten him to go before bed and in the morning at home. He still hasn't pooped on the toilet, but we're taking this as progress. It is highly possible that he'll suddenly want nothing to do with the potty again (he's been flirting with it on and off since August). But since we have 4 days with pretty much nothing to do, we're going to wear nothing but a t-shirt and underroos with plastic pants and see if we can get him to go every time at home. If we can get the pee pee down that would be awesome.

If he decides it's too early. No pressure. We'll go back to the diapers. But we might as well try. 

In other news, I'm having one of those resentment weeks. I'm hoping it passes. 

Right now I have to look for a dessert recipe that I want to make today for Thanksgiving tomorrow over at Special K and the Wonder Twins' house. We're very excited. 

Tonight MacTroll is going with RF to the movies to watch British people blow things up. Hopefully Mr. Quigs will get free from work to join them.

At your suggestion, we came home and watched the Charlie Brown special, too. Bubba was literally LOL'ing at the part where Snoopy was flipping plates of popcorn and toast at everyone. Seriously LOL'ing. At every plate. I didn't get it, but he tickled me.

We fell off the potty wagon. I was thinking about trying the underwear thing over Christmas. He was doing an excellent job, but now it's on occasion, if he feels like it.

And Mr. Quigs will probably go. He's a little sad that he hasn't seen the last Bond flick, but he'll probably suck it up and go anyway.

The good thing with Bond movies is you dont have to see the one before it to see the recent one.

We watched it too after Thanksgiving dinner with the girls (O's cousin's little ones). I hadn't seen it in SOOO long. The lawn chair fight was my favorite too. did you happen to catch the Mayflower special that followed? I'd forgotten the story of Thanksgiving that's told . . . and tend to stick to my own story--friends, food, and family.
