| Our FET was successful today - now we just have to wait 11 days... |
| Got this in an email from Susan today: 'Been up since 530 trying to convience Seth to go back to sleep. He
said..but Momma..it's getting more morninger and more morninger.' |
| So Susan's wish lists on Amazon.com have a new link (see above left). If you've bookmarked either her wish list or her 'Seth Wish List (From Susan)', please update the links! |
So yesterday Susan said something that made me laugh too hard so I'll share :)
Yesterday was a "tough day for mother and son - Seth had multiple time outs and he was just being really difficult. Around lunch time, Susan put the TV and the computer in time out. Later on, she had to put the trains in time out...So last night, she said to me (paraphrased), "You know the phrase 'Kid - this is gonna hurt me more than it's gonna hurt you'? I always thought that was something parents said when they had to spank a child or not allow them to do something they really wanted to; I thought it was a very innocent saying - but it isn't. Everything he wants to play with today - everything - is in time out. Guess what that means? 'Mommy! I want to play computer. (cries b/c he can't) I want to watch TV (cries b/c he can't) I want to play trains (cries b/c he can't)'
Parents don't just say that phrase for innocent reasons - they say it because it is *worse* for the parent than the child lol |
Oh my God, we are in trouble. So...
Susan had the bright idea, about a month ago, that she would give Seth a train if he would stop biting his nails. She put up a large piece of paper on the wall with two sides: smiley faces and frownie faces. If he finished all of the smiley faces on the left side, he got the train (which he did last week). All good - right?
Well, last week we started a new piece of paper. Tonight, Susan noticed that several frownie faces had somehow turned into smiley faces lol.
We are in so much trouble. He's not even 3 1/2. |
| From Susan's email this morning: Rough night - I put Seth to bed at 1:30 last night after trip to the bathroom, put him to bed
at 2:30 after telling him there were no monsters, put him to bed at 3
telling him there are no wild animals in his room, put him to bed at 330 and
told him to stay in bed! At 4 I caved and just said...get in the bed.

| So we're going to the circus on Saturday :) I'm so excited - when you think of having children, there are a few events that you think ahead to and say to yourself, "That would be so much fun!" and the circus is one of those. I can't wait! |
Susan: "Okay - it's time to go upstairs and take a nap. Are you ready to go upstairs?"
Seth: "That's right - 'cuz we're not turtles."
Susan: "Huh? No, we're not turtles. What do you mean?"
Seth: "We don't sleep in the day time"
Do you get it? "We're not turtles" for a three year old equates to "We're nocturnal" for you and I! |
| So I took Seth to a local mini-golf and arcade place on Wednesday here in Dallas. He woke up this morning and told Susan, "I really had fun when Daddy took me to Destin, Jr." He associates "Destin" with mini-golf and "Florida" with the beach (and waves) lol. |
