Where's my raincoat?!?!!?

Awesome! Jay is adjusting well in his new room at daycare. Lots of new fun toys to play with, he is back with his older friends and he is learning all sorts of new words. He amazes me everyday with the new SENTENCES he says to me. My favorite was when he told he, 'No Mommy!I'm not finished playing,' when I said it was time to go while we were visiting Mimi's. He comes home and tells Daddy (and his duckie) that he missed them and then gives Lucy (the dog) a hug. He is turning into such a sweet and caring little boy. Not my baby anymore!
The biggest adjustment for Jay though is my favorite part of his new room...potty training! This is wonderful. The thought of not buying diapers is mind boggling! Just think of all that extra money. Of course, I am assuming all that 'extra' money is now going to be spent on more laundry detergent, plastic sheets, and all the spiderman underwear that Jay can imaging.
So last night, Jay and I ventured to the Wally World or as Melanie (my stepmother) calls it, "HELL ON EARTH." We already have an ELMO potty upstairs in Jay's bathroom. But I figured we would need one for downstairs as well. So Jay picked out his big boy potty seat! This one also has ELMO...I was scared he was going to go for the pink and purple one but he chose the Elmo one with Bert and Ernie in the bathtub. Anyway! We then went and picked out 'training' underwear for him to take to daycare once he gets this potty thing down! Good deal. We are set. Man that stuff is expensive!
So we continue our trek through Wally World (aka Hell on Earth) as various items jump into my cart. (I swear things actually grow legs and randomly jump into my cart...or at least that is what we tell daddy when he looks at the receipts!) Juice boxes, summer shorts for Jay, Easter Candy for Jay's class, an All YOU magazine for me (gotta get my coupons)and stuff like that.
We head to the fabric department. Note to self: don't bring Jay to the fabric department in Wally World. I was looking for some cute material to make a friend some bandanas. 'FROG FROG FROOOOOOOOOOOOOOG!!!' screams the two-year-old while trying to jump out of the cart. People are staring at me like I am beating the child! Jay has seen the cutest fabric with frogs, turtles and grasshoppers. Soooooo...I will now be sewing Jay a new blankie and a pillow (he requested a new pillow)for his Easter basket. I really hope I can get it all down! It really is cute though. I will have to post a pick for sure!
Now...One thing I did not buy at Wally World (aka Hell on Earth) was a rain jacket. I should have. Note to self: buy a rain jacket! Jay decided he needed to go potty while we were playing basketball in the bathtub. (doesn't everyone play basketball in the tub?!?!) So we are sitting on our potty, reading a book (like all big boys do on the potty) when eureka! The Fountain of Youth! Only one problem...it wasn't making it in the potty. But hey! We were sitting on the potty! It counts! Mommy just needed to change her clothes...so I am thinking I should get a cool rain jacket and leave it on the hook in the bathroom. Maybe one with frogs on it!
