Saturday we tried big boy undies again. I am not going to push him though. I guess with all the crap that is going on right now, his life is pretty complicated. No need to MAKE him do something new that he isn't ready for. As long as he is not wearing diapers to kindergarten, I am ok.
Andy went to work so of course I was stuck with the job. It turned out pretty good. Better than I expected anyway.
Stevie knows when he has to go. The only problem is knowing BEFORE he has to go.
Sooooooo, total accidents:3, all pee
I think he is doing pretty well. We will see if he does as well today.

What do you want for dinner?
Me: Stevie, what do you want for dinner?
Stevie: Pancakes
Me: Sorry, I'm not making pancakes.
~~We walk over to the pantry.~~
Me: Ok, how about burritos?
Stevie: This!
~~Hands me a tub of cake frosting.~~
Me: giggle giggle. Sorry kiddo. You cant have frosting for dinner. Maybe on your birthday.
Still no idea on what to make for dinner. Maybe I will give in and make pancakes. Sammy will be having a delicious bottle of formula and maybe a jar of peas.

My Personal Blog
Ok, I have thought long and hard about posting this.
I have started a blog for me. It is full of cursing, dry humor, useless chatter, and my opinions. It is mostly a place to blow off steam about things. If you are sensitive to things done the "nontraditional" way, dont read it. :) If you are open minded to these things and not offended easily, check it out.

I Want Your Ideas.......
I am kind of running out of topics to type about.
Give me some help?
Leave me a comment with what you want to see my opinion on. I might even throw something related to the kids in there.
I am willing to blog about ALMOST anything. Most of you know me well enough to know that I will talk about just about anything, the subject just has to be brought up.
So throw your ideas at me. Don't be shy.
You can be anonymous if you want.
I might be able to figure out who you are though!
Thanks!

Sammy's First Word!!!!
Sammy said his first word. As soon as he was done drinking his bottle, he looked at me and said b-b-b-baba. I am soooooo excited that I FINALLY got to witness one of his firsts! I think Stevie's first word was baba too.
A message from Stevie....

This was posted on one of my babycenter boards....
The following was posted on one of the boards I visit on babycenter. It is horrible! It unfortunately isnt a troll. This is real. Her story was aired on TV tonight. I feel so badly for her and her family. Her daughter, Caroline is the same age as Sammy. If I saw someone doing this to ANY child, it wouldnt even have to be my own, someone would be taking a dirt nap in a remote area. It really makes me thankful that Andy watches Stevie and my mom watches Sammy.
We installed a nanny cam after seeing the CNN video on Sunday. Tuesday was our first day of taping, and our world has been turned upside down by what we saw. I never dreamed that our nanny was abusing Caroline . . . .
I'm writing this because I think it's important for me in terms of starting to come to grips with this, and also because I want to urge everyone out there to check up on your caregivers, even if you think everything is fine. You just never know. And I'm so thankful we found out what was going on before my baby got hurt, or worse, killed.
From the time my DH left the house, she didn't pick up DD once, just left her on the floor while she watched TV on the couch, until she picked her up to basically drop her into her exersaucer about 2 1/2 hours into the video. When that didn't stop Caroline's crying, she grabbed her up, and SHOOK HER VIOLENTLY. That, of course, didn't stop the crying, so she put her in the swing, pretty roughly.
Once she realized the swing wasn't going to stop the crying, she picked her up, to shake her, once again. I'm talking holding her with both arms, shaking her HARD.
I had to stop watching.
My husband watched the rest of the video. It shows the nanny roughly handling Caroline, flipping her over to spank her. Later in the video, she SLAPS Caroline in the face twice. My poor baby screamed for pretty much the entire day.
The thing is, DD practically never cries, and when she does, she's easy to soothe. This evil witch never even tried to calm my baby. She just went straight to abuse.
We spent all day yesterday between the doctor's office & the hospital. This morning we went to the pediatric opthamologist. The good news is, Caroline is physically okay.
My husband went to the police yesterday with the video. The violent crimes detective said it's one of the more egregious cases he's seen, and he was surprised that my baby wasn't physically injured based on his experience. We are still waiting for her to be arrested, although the detective assured my husband that she WILL be arrested. I want to destroy this woman. I want her life ruined. I want her to spend a LOT of time in prison.
I can't imagine what DD has gone through every day when I left for work. The lady was with us for 2 1/2 months. I have to believe that this just started a couple of weeks ago, when Caroline started to get upset when I'd leave for work. I just thought it was separation anxiety.
Right now, I'm just trying to focus on the fact that Caroline is okay. My mother is going to move from NC (we live in SC) to keep Caroline while I work. Once we are financially able (there's a lot going on right now - DH starting up his own firm as of March 1), I think I'm going to quit my job as an attorney to stay home with her.
I feel so many different things. A lot of guilt, because I feel like I should have known somehow, or "listened" to my baby more closely. Deep sadness, because I wanted my baby to know only love. Vengeance, because I'd like to take revenge on this woman.
We checked this woman out very thoroughly (so I thought) before hiring her. She worked for an agency prior to us hiring her. Her husband is a retired policeman. She's church going (not that it matters, but she held herself out to be a very Christian person). We did a background check and checked references - everything checked out okay. We did everything we were supposed to before hiring her. And she seemed okay. Caroline used to smile at her when she got here in the morning. I really thought the worst thing I was going to see was her watching TV all day.
Sorry for the long post, if you got this far. What I saw on this tape made the CNN video look harmless. I hope no one else here ever has to go through this.
