Bedwetting Tip

For all of you bed wetters out there, I have a new tip for you. This is good, you heard it here first. I'm not even going to charge you for this brilliance.

When you get the urge to pee in your bed while sleeping, sleep walk into your parent's bed and cuddle up next to your mommy, and pee all over her bed..... You gotta cuddle first though, cause that butters her up, she'll think you are all cute and sweet while you are sleepwalking. That way, when you finally pee in her bed, she won't be mad. In fact, as long as you don't pee in the part she's sleeping on for the night, she'll sleep in it:) Ooopppss, I probably shouldn't have shared that part. But if she's too tired to change the the pee pee sheets, she's too tired to read this anyway.

It's the perfect way to avoid going to the bathroom during the night and ensure that your bed doesn't smell like a pee factory.  Try it. Maybe, try it a few times. It's funny to watch them try to figure out why the sheets are wet. As though it couldn't keep being the same reason - ME. 

Wetting the Bed

I'm totally potty trained, unless I'm too interested in playing with something - then I do the pee pee dance and wait for someone to ask me if I need to go potty. At which point I reluctantly go, but I first pee a lil in my pants, so I can create more laundry for my parents by requiring a new pair of pants and undies (Cars undies of course) and then pee the rest in the potty (which gives me kudos from my parents cause they are glad I didn't totally pee my pants).

Those parents of mine, they put me in a cloth diaper at night, as though I'm not able to handle sleeping in underpants. I finally proved myself by going dry most mornings, that they finally let me go to sleep in my underwear. I've been doing a really good job sleeping in my underwear. Until this week....

The first night I peed in the bed, I woke up and went straight to Mommy. I figure she's up all night with Oliver, she's the go-to person when it's still dark outside. So I tiptoe to Mommy's bed, feel for her hair, and start twirling it until she invites me into bed to finish sleeping till morning. Well about the time I crawl over her to get cozy with her and Oliver, she figures out I've peed myself. So needless to say, instead of snuggling up, I had to change clothes and sheets and all that jazz.

So the second night I pee the bed, I've learned my lesson. You don't get up, you just sleep in it. It just happened to be my sister's first day of kindergarten. As part of her new morning routine, she has to make her bed. So I decide I wanna make my bed too. I required a lil help from Daddy. As he's helping me, he feels the wet spot. He says, "Eli, why is your bed wet". My response, "it rained in my bed." How's that for clever. He changed the sheets and I think he belived me:)

Since then, I've gone easy on them, no more bed peeing, cause sleeping in it isn't all that great after all.

Cuteness

Mommy -"Eli, are you cute?"
Eli - "No, Oliver is."

Daddy - "Eli, what does cute mean?"
Eli - "Me"

Birthday Choices

Eli "I wanna monster truck birthday."
Mommy "I thought you wanted a train birthday."
Eli "I have both. Have monster truck and train birthday."
Few minutes later after thinking about it some more...
Eli "I have monster truck, train and fire truck birthday."

Big Brother Sentiments

Spoken the first week Oliver came home:

"Put baby back in the cage (i.e. bassinett)."

Airplane Museum!!

A couple weeks ago, dad took me to the Carolinas Aviation Museum at the airport because they had some neat old plane there.  It was fun and here are some pictures.



I got to sit in a real jet cockpit and pretend I was Maverick and Goose!

I am almost as tall as an airplane tire.

The main attraction at the museum is the Miracle on the Hudson plane, or as I call it - "plane crash water".  Here I am standing next to it.

And here I am standing in front of it.  It is big!  The guy who works at the museum said they dropped the nose and that is why there is a hole in it.  Daddy thought it was from the crash in the water.

Daddy and I!

After looking at the planes inside the big hangar, we went outside to see the old planes.  I'm just sittin' out here watchin airplanes, take off, and flyyyyyyyyyyyyy!

Here is my happiest moment of the day...no, it was not an airplane.  I saw a TRAIN in the distance!!!!

And daddy long arms finished off the pictures with a picture of us.

After we left the museum, we tried to get some french fries, but the restaurant on wheels was out.  So we went to 7-11 and got SLURPEES and a bag of potato chips.  Then we went to the airport overlook to watch more planes and drink our slurpees.  It was a fun dude date!



Yes, I'm a Diva

Who says boys can't wear Snow White heels? They look fab with my Gravedigger shirt I've been wearing for 3 days....
