Are you kidding?
I'm home minus 4 extra pairs of eyes. If you knew my 2 1/2 year old you would understand how he must be kept under constant surveillance.
Mr. Destructo Man would be my 2 1/2 yo's nickname if I wasn't worried he'd endeavor even harder to live up to such a name. Besides general world domination, I think his future is in structural engineering; he seems obsessed with discovering the breaking point of everything he touches. I won't even mention his proclivity for climbing.
I'm also home minus 4 extra story book readers and 4 extra laps. However, on the upside:
- I am home minus 4 voices complaining about the 2 yo's potty-training wardrobe- bare bottoms rule.
- It's much easier to sneak brownies for breakfast.
- My toddlers go to bed at 8:00 p.m.
- No one is drinking my coffee.
- No one is complaining about the 2 1/2 yo's potty-training wardrobe. (Yes, I know I already listed this, but the list isn't weighted so this entry needed to be repeated at least 10 times.)
By the way, my 4 yo tried to stow away in his grandparents car. He dressed with great deliberation to achieve success. Evidently cowboy boots, bomber jacket, sunglasses, and a black balaclava were the keys to staying undetected, in 85 degree weather.... on a trip to Texas.
Now back to potty training...

Good luck with the potty training. I have to get busy on that with Jenna. I think she will do well, I just have to get the time and energy. Both very scarce during moving and pregnancy! Can't wait for life to settle down again. Enjoy your time and brownies!!
I actually prefer when all the kids are home...they keep each other entertained (and keep an eye on the youngest).
I did the no pants thing too. Everyone thought I was CraYZie.
My 2 1/2 year old will spend a lot of time playing Clue with himself. He likes the small pieces. Especially the revolver.
Am I a bad parent? NOooo. I mean, he wears pants now right?
Just a tip for if you need some free time: CLUE
I'm actually fine with skipping the whole potty training thing. My husband however thinks it is some sort of requirement of parenthood...
JoAnn, I could just leave the teen-age girls bedroom door open. The toddlers could entertain themselves for hours. I bet the girls even have a Clue game in there.
Moving and pregnant and potty training? Miranda that makes me tired just thinking of it.
I would miss the extra laps, but the early bedtimes must be a treat and a half!
