Swirling the bowl

So we finally got a fish tank, my dad has been wanting the girls to have one for quite some time and the other day the urge hit me. We got the tank and got it all set up and everything was going along swimmingly UNTIL Jason decided to add fish to it! I was happy that the girls just liked the tank with no fish but Jason had to go and ruin it, LOL! As a “thank you” for wanting to add the fish I sent him to the store with the girls when they were really tired to get the fish:) He survived and so did the fish but the girls were in quite a state when they got home.

We added the fish to the tank, 4 guppies and 1 molly. The girls are enjoying feeding the fish and watching them. Piper really wants to put her hands in the fish tank and might be doing it when I am not looking but I have not seen any evidence of spilled water on the floor. Anyway, one of the fish bit the dust today. I fished out the little guy and asked the girls what we should do with him. Piper said, “we should ask daddy.” I told them he was dead and we took him to Jason. Then I left the bathroom, I don’t want to deal with dead fish. So in a couple minutes Piper comes running out with Lela in tow and they are laughing hysterically about the fish swirling the bowl. They said they can’t wait to tell their teacher today. Should be interesting:)

A poop and pee on the potty, are you for real?

Landis did have a poop and pee on the potty and as proud as I was (jk) I did not take a photo of it! Basically she is constipated from adding more solid food to her plate so she is having trouble. So I know when she is trying to go and she doesn’t like to lay down she likes to sit which really defeats the purpose. So my mom suggested I sit her on the potty, genius! I got one of the girls little potties that is like a bowl and sat her on it and she peed and pooped. It was a monster poo or anything but it did help her a little. Not that she has the slightest clue what happened but she was able to bend forward to pick up a toy and I think that helped her out. Potty training here we come? HA! I think not but we will use the potty as much as we can.
