The other day Jefferson went to the DI with Brian and I had re-fitted his car seat incorrectly after washing it. I did not realize the two buckles that go into the one with the red button went a specific way, so they were switched. I could only get one in by crossing it over to the other side. When Brian came back Jefferson was asleep, but his buckle was fully buckled thanks to the simple solution of turning the red button thing around. I would never have thought of that and later I complemented Brian on his simple and ingenious solution. Turns out he did not do anything. As they were driving Jefferson said, "Dad, I got it buckled!" Sure enough I had been outwitted by a two year old.
We enjoyed a trip to the Mayan for dinner last weekend - ok, enjoyed is an exaggeration. We waited an hour and a half and then ended up at a table for 10 with 12 people and we had to steal chips and salsa from an empty table nearby for which we became the target of many dirty looks from the other waitress in the area.
But after dinner I did enjoy a memorable moment with Jefferson during his potty break. He requested to flush the toilet as he always does in public restrooms and I said sure. He was prepping for the experience and walked me through his plan - so first we say hi to the potty and then we flush it? I said sure again cause I was ready to go, but then wondered why he would say hi to the potty. Then I realized whenever we are in a motion sensor potty I wave my hand in front of the sensor for him and then we sometimes have to manually flush it. All this time he thinks his Mom is waving hi to potties, maybe as thanks or an offering of friendship before completing our interaction with a flush. The world must look pretty strange to a two year old.
Our "JJ" turns three this Sunday and he sure is cute with his brothers and little McKinley. He ends up in our bed every night by the morning and is cuddly until he hits the kick you in the back part of his sleep cycle. The cutest thing he does is recite Article of Faith #2 (because he is 2).

Those are some pretty darling stories. I love the waving hi to the potty. It always cracks me up when I react to the things my kids say as if they're crazy and then realize they are just copying me in their own little way. What a funny kiddo. We miss you guys.
That is so funny about the potty! The video is too cute of McKinley, she is a little smartie pants, and of course darling.
What a smart and adorable kid. I'm laughing about you waving to the potty...hilarious.
Ha - now I know what he meant when we took him out for his birthday. He told me that he had to wave to the potty. Then he showed me how to do it. Then we learned that the water faucet in the bathroom also had an eye - so we played with that. It was fun and he is such a joy. ((hugs))
