a little revolution

the weather is in that undecided state which is more exasperating than when my boys peel the stickers off every apple at the grocery store and stick them on their face. and my dog hasn't pooped in four days.

but the lessons. about living one day at a time. about the joy of singing songs with my sons lying on the living-room rug, holding hands and drawing under the shadow of a large tree. refreshing me like sips of fresh water after a long walk. yet no matter how significant they are. they cannot compare to the exhilaration, pride and little revolution that is going on in our home.

Sean. now. wipes. his. own. bottom.

Dream. of. it.

[love squalor]

[annaliza]

[Kat]

woohoo, sean!!! it totally amazes me how our mommy lives seem to be so snuggly intertwined with our kids' bum/tooshie/butt-butt bottom activities! HA!

[kristen]

Hurray! Stopping and taking one day at a time, that'something I could/should learn to do.

Ack! Amazing! Go Sean!!
I'm so sorry about Finn.. I don't know what to say to make you feel better, but I'm thinking about you and your family. Pets are definitely such a huge part of the family. ((hugs))

My son is potty training his doll but refuses to use the potty himself. Wiping his own bum is a crystal palace in the distant cloudy future. I too dream of the day!

Talkin' about a revolution, baby. Oh yeah! :)

SCORE!! The butt-wiping is a very important step on the journey to your liberation from thankless servitude! (Note: Mothers are NEVER actually liberated from thankless servitude.) Just don't expect skidmark-free undewear, if you're not doing the wiping...

ya-hoo!!!

[Melissa]

That's wonderful!!!

[meredith]

LOL!
It's still touch and go here, if my seven year old can talk someone into doing it, she's a happy camper. She doesn't like having to wash her hands so if she doesn't wipe she figures she doesn't have to wash....

I like all the photos, but probably my favorite is the one of the boys in their room. I just love that one.

[liz elayne]

bravo! this is indeed what it is all about. love it!

[Julie]

Yes! Its Spring!

[Waya]

A BIG MILESTONE! Those are the little things that we parents look forward to.

Hello to a fellow Mom of twin boys! I've enjoyed reading through your latest blog entries and your beautiful photos! For now, apples at the grocery store are a great distraction as it takes a really long time to gnaw through them, but I can totally see my boys doing the -sticker-on-the-face thing in a year or so....haha!
