Don't worry mummy, you won't fall in cause you have a big bum...

Ahhhh yeah...if anyone else had said this to me I would, of course, be spoiling for a rumble, but when it's your potty training two year old, somehow, it just seems OK.  I should probably explain; she has this thing where she likes to have an audience while she "tries her pee" the "try" implies she'll give it a go but you aren't guaranteed any result (quite clever on her part...non?)...anyway, she likes her audience a) captive and b) to sit on the large potty, which was fine when she liked you to sit on it with the lid down, but somewhere along the way she decided, perhaps, it was more sporting, to have the lid up to see what her captive/audience would do.  So today, just before nap, she announced that her "nudey booty" needed to "try her pee", so in we go to our porta-potty sized loo to give it a go; she sits and I am about to put the lid down and have a seat, when she announces that "it would be better if I didn't lower the lid, just in case" (I'm not sure what the just in case implies and I don't ask), she then tells me that I "don't need to worry about falling into the potty (clearly a major concern for her) because I have a big bum and it covers the whole seat...ugh!  I'll just leave you with that...sorry if you think it is T.M.I :)

Sooooo it's been a while, glad to be back, quite a bit has happened in the last 6/7 months...house is that much closer to being finished, managed to get knocked up again, hoorah...oh and my daughter became a teenage two year old...feels good and overwhelming at the same time.  I also came to the realization that I am a better baker than I am a cook, I still love to read and have found a couple books that have once again inspired me to get back on track (and one of them was not Pinkalicious), I've also discovered, much to Blaine's delight that there is a building called a L-I-B-R-A-R-Y, I believe, (don't quote me...I'm new) whixh is a valuable resource for books and videos that DO NOT need to be purchased, but can be "borrowed" and returned without fee (it is like the barter system in biblical times...but with the Internet and fancy cards)...I like it!

I won't bore you with the other details, however, i know several of you will find it amusing (as I do) that we are to take possession of the new house 8 days before the baby is due...so no pressure to keep that bun in this oven for as long as humanly possible...even if I'm just about uncomfortable enough to have it right about now...I'd post pictures...but i don't want to scare any of you away...let's just say I am wider with baby outwards than I am width wise...if that makes sense...and just a bit more top heavy...perhaps next I'll write about my stumble through the width of my house...good times...not so nimble this girl.  I know shocker!
