Teatopia

Telling it like it is

**After this, you're going to know way more about my bathroom habits that you ever needed to know, but you moms out there know exactly what I'm talking about!**

Lately, it feels like I've been stuck in a bit of a rut. I go through stages-- as I think all bloggers do-- when there's so much to say and you're on a roll and then other times you're in a slump. The truth is, Olivia is so much more work lately (gotta love those toddler years!) and at night, I'm just so tired and don't feel like writing. I've even been slacking on my night time prayers and my reading. Just. so. tired. *sigh*

I haven't been posting as many pics lately. I just haven't taken the time to transfer them and upload them, so I thought I'd catch up a bit.

but first--

I know I've mentioned this before, but really, do any of you moms get to go to the bathroom alone? I NEVER get to go alone if James is gone, and even when he's here, he never gives me any peace. A couple nights ago, I got caught sneaking my laptop into the bathroom just to get a few minutes online alone. When it's just me and Olivia home, going to the bathroom is a dreaded task. She pulls the toilet paper off (how do they get off so much so quickly?). She wants to help me wipe (she says "wipe peep" which is what we call her privates-- too cute!) and she won't stop trying to touch me so she can "help". She wants to sit on her little potty, which is great, except she wants me to put her on it, and I'm a bit busy. And it's not like I can put her on it before I sit down, because she wants to get up and sit back down continuously. And half the time she falls trying to get on and off. Then she wants to sit on my lap because she's has an "ooowww!"

This is the latest situation:

See all the candles? Two mins on the john and Olivia brought all these one by one, screaming at me if I didn't "smow" them immediately. My poor feet have suffered so much this week at the wrath of falling Yankee candles!

Really though, she's so much fun. She's obsessed with using forks lately and feeds herself pretty well.

Her hair is so curly now (like her Daddy's) and her eyes are still so blue. She gets so many compliments on her hair and eyes, neither of which are from me. Gotta love her shirt, and that cute cloth diaper!

I still have to post beach pictures, but like I said, it was so humid that our camera kept shutting itself off. Most of the pics are on James's cell phone, which I can't find right now and he's sleeping.

More pics to come!
