Aw-nuts! Yip-pee!

Last night for date night we took the kids to cold stone (I had a $25 gift card). We were eating our cold treat outside the store on their little patio, having a great time. Merlin was sharing his ice cream with Baby Girl and after a few bites she got a nut. Well, Baby Girl is not a fan of nuts. So she proceeds to spit it out, but that was not good enough because she apparently swallowed some and she had to get those nuts out as well. She stuck her fingers in her mouth trying to get them out and made herself gag. So she started to dry heave and then we saw what she ate for dinner in reverse--peaches, watermelon, milk (curdled by this point). So here she is yakin' with all these people around trying enjoy their ice cream. And there we are laughing and we couldn't stop. Merlin, in between his giggles, is dry heaving as well because now he has throw up all down the front of him and he is sitting on this metal chair that has a criss-cross pattern and so the throw up is dangling off the bottom of the chair. Every time I think Baby Girl is done and she couldn't possibly have any more left to throw up she starts again. So, I would like to apologize to all the Cold Stone customers from last night who had to witness the ghastly sight.

On a brighter note...This morning Baby Girl saw a family member (I won't mention any names) going to the bathroom. So she goes and sits on her little potty. Merlin takes off her PJ's and diaper and proceeds to encourage her to go potty. After a few minutes she stands up and low and behold there was pee-pee in the potty. Yea Baby Girl!!! Only 19 months old and she went pee-pee in the potty for the first time. There is light at the end of the tunnel. After 9.5 years of changing diapers I can see the end of spending $30-$40 dollars a month on diapers. I am going to save a bundle. Yea Mommy!!!
