Who needs high tech toys for Triplets?

First time parents are a gold mine for toy companies! As anyone knows, kids like the simple things in life. Like say, a table and chairs... Who knew a toy could also be funtional:)

You gotta problem with the way I eat yogurt?

Staying thin staying at home....

I have always been a bit thin but I actually lost six pounds when I started staying at home with our Triplets seven months ago. There are several reasons for this:

1. If I eat with them all I hear is "bite please, bite please, bite please"

2. If I wait to eat when they take a nap, they don't and I don't.

3. If I wait and eat what is left this is what I get......

I know that you believe that you understood what you think I said, but I am not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.

The Triplet cleaning crew....

I have no doubt that they will soon enough figure out the difference between work and play. But until then I am taking full advantage of the blurry line:)









Laughter and tears are both responses to frustration and exhaustion. I myself prefer to laugh, since there is less cleaning up to do afterward.

Potty training is at hand for the Triplets...

Jackson actually went pee-pee in the potty at their day out program the other day. I just picked up three training pottys yesterday from Wal-Mart. We spent about 30 minutes taking turns on one of the pottys. They LOVE sitting on it, now we just need to get them to actually use it. On a side note, how in the world do you clean the cup that catches everything out? I know you dump the contents in the toilet but then what? I am not sure I would feel comfortable washing it out in the sink or running it through the dishwasher. I know you "clean" it but... I mean even after I clean a toilet I don't let the dog drink from it:) If anyone has a solution, please let me know:)

San Francisco is off it's rocker.....

First, I am not sure if San Francisco was ever on a rocker or for that matter ever owned one:) Depending on what numbers you look at you can come up with different numbers. But most people believe that smoking and obesity are the #1 and #2 contributing factors to death respectively. So San Francisco is banning pharmacies from selling cigarettes. What is next? Will they ban them from selling potato chips and other fattening foods? Wait a minute, products heavy in sugar also lead to becoming fat.... out goes the candy. If government really wants to help people make better choices they will stop pandering to idiots and would start actually teaching people common sense. I mean it is nice that we can all do algebra and have an appreciation for Shakespeare but it would be better if we had more common sense:)
