From Darci's Facebook part II

• How do you start your morning? With a cup of coffee? Eggs and bacon? Nothing says good morning like your 4 yo doing a modified version of downward facing dog requesting that you check to make sure he wiped good enough after his 20 min poop/book reading session.....

• Noah was whining and asking for help with his socks (which I normally refuse to help him with--he's 4 he can get his own darn socks on) When I asked what was wrong he said that he was having trouble getting his socks on straight and they (the socks) were making fun of him....so I needed to help him put on his socks so they would stop laughing at him. Then he shut his imaginary door to the dinning room and told Grace that she needed to leave, he was getting dressed and needed "privacy".

• Noah is the most healthy one in the house. Looks like it's time for him to man up. On the way to preschool today he said "So, Mom. Someday when I am on TV do I get to be in charge and tell people what to do?" I said, " yes, Noah. If you are on TV someday you can go ahead and tell people what to do." I guess I should clarify if he's looking at acting, athletics or perhaps, America's Most Wanted...

• I will not take my daughter to the MD for a virus...I will not be that mother that overreacts... I will not demand abx....I will not freak out... I will just give tylenol and motrin-... 13 days into various illnesses the MD says "wow her ears are really red," Ugh. There goes my application for mother of the year. Screw it.. I WILL be that mother that overreacts and takes her kid in for everything instead of missing an ear infection.

• As a smell that could trigger uncontrollable gagging floats my way I ask...Noah, did you toot? Well, um, no..he replied. Did you fart? Well, maybe......it's a poop air bubble, mom. A "poop air bubble?" Yeah, you know...like when the air comes out of your butt like a bubble....... "nevermind, Noah. Nevermind."
