Is it Possible?

Is it possible to potty-train a boy when he isn't even 2 yet?

Ya, that's been my goal lately. I bought some potty books from someone on craigslist- I'm trying to make the potty seem EXCITING to Matthew. I cringe every time I have to buy TWO sizes of diapers.

Perhaps I'm not as ready as I wish he was... oh well- Brooklyn seems to like the books tho!

but daddy- I wanna PLAY! Watching you is just too boring!!!!


Daddy was so cute as I let him watch Brooklyn so I could pump her milk- he sat her in her lil' green chair as he played his game. . . She must've got bored 'cause he whispered to me as I came out of the room- "pssst, look- she fell asleep on her table! I put her jacket underneath to give her a little more comfort"

I just rolled my eyes, smiling, as I (OF COURSE)- got the camera.

Twist & Shout (my own re-mix)

Well, shake it up, baby, now (shake it up, baby)
Twist and shout (twist and shout)
Come on, come on, come on, come on, baby, now (come on, baby)
Come and work it all out (work it all out)
Well, you work it all out, now (work it all out)
You know, you look so good (look so good)
You know, you got me going, now (got me going)
Just like I knew you would (like I knew you would)
Well, shake it up, baby, now (shake it up, baby)
Twist and shout (twist and shout)
Come on, come on, come on, come on, baby, now (come on, baby)
Come and work it all out (work it all out)
Well, you twist, little girl (twist, little girl)
You know, you twist so fine (twist so fine)
Come on and twist a little closer, now (twist a little closer)
And let me know that youre mine (let me know youre mine)

Well, shake it up, baby, now (shake it up, baby)
Twist and shout (twist and shout)
Come on, come on, come on, come on, baby, now (come on, baby)
Come and work it all out (work it all out)
Well, you twist, little girl (twist, little girl)
You know, you twist so fine (twist so fine)
Come on and twist a little closer, now (twist a little closer)
And let me know that youre mine (let me know youre mine)

My Own "My Girl" lyrics:

I've got sunshine

On a cloudy day.

When it's cold outside,
I've got the month of May.

Well, I guess you'll say
What can make me feel this way?

My girl. (My girl, my girl)
Talkin' 'bout my girl. (My girl)

I've got so much honey
The bees envy me.

I've got a sweeter songThan the birds in the trees.
Well, I guess you'll say

What can make me feel this way?
My girl. (My girl, my girl)

Talkin' 'bout my girl. (My girl)
Ooooh, Hoooo.

Hey, hey, hey.
Hey, hey, hey.

I don't need no money,
Fortune or fame.

I've got all the riches, baby,
One mom can claim.

Well, I guess you'll say
What can make me feel this way?

My girl. (My girl, my girl)

Talkin' 'bout my girl. (My girl)
Talkin' bout my girl.

I've got sushine on cloudy day
With my girl.

I've even got the month of May
With my girl.

My girl. (My girl, my girl)

Talkin' 'bout my girl. (My girl)
Talkin' bout my girl.

Hey, Good Lookin - (my own re-mix)

Hey, Brooklyn Brooklyn, whatcha got cookin'

How's about cookin' somethin' up with me ...

Hey, sweet baby, don't you think maybe

We could find us a brand new reci- pe. ...



I got a hot rod Ford and a two dollar bill

And I know a spot right over the hill

There's soda pop and the dancin's free

So if you wanna have fun come a- long with me.



Say Hey, Good Lookin', whatcha got cookin'

How's about cookin' somethin' up with me.



I'm free and ready so we can go steady

How's about savin' all your time for me

No more lookin', I know I've been (*tooken)

How's about keepin' steady company.



I'm gonna throw my date book over the fence

And find me one for five or ten cents.

I'll keep it 'til it's covered with age

'Cause I'm writin' your name down on ev'ry page.



Say Hey, Good Lookin', whatcha got cookin'

How's about cookin' somethin' up with me

Brooklyn's 'Welcome' Shower


"No bottles to suck or diapers to tinkle.
So instead of a shower, why not a sprinkle?
Around 4 o'clock on the 8th of November.
Come meet our new baby a day you'll remember.
If there is a gift that you wish to bring.
Thank you so much but remember one thing.
Big brother Matthew has plenty to share.
A card would be perfect to show that you care.
Most things we do have but a few things we missed.
If you'd like to bring something- Please browse our short list."
