One of his many tricks.

POOP EVERYWHERE

I was talking to my mom on the phone while I casually picked up the house. I threw away a wet diaper on the floor, I figured Zach changed Jonah and just forgot to throw the old one away. As I carried on with my conversation, I could hear Jonah screaming with excitement from the bathroom.

"Zachary! What's Jonah doing?", I called out. Zach got up to go check and I suddenly hear,
"Caitlin!!! POOP EVERYWHERE!!!!!" great.
"Mom, I gotta go." I could smell the grossness as soon as I stepped foot in the hallway.

Jonah had attempted to go potty like a big boy. Maybe he would have mastered it if the toilet wasn't locked, but I think he just would have just fallen in.
There was poop (excuse my use of the word poop a lot) Everywhere! We found it in places you would never imagine. Zach stepped in a puddle of pee in front of the toilet, and Jonah had smeared poop all over the bath tub, his body, and all over the bathroom floor. Oh it was so bad.

All we could do was laugh as we threw Jonah in the tub and sprayed him down. He's never been happier. Note to self: Onesies only from now on!
The best part about it, is now Zach has it in his head to potty train Jonah! No Thank you! I'm not potty training him until he can say the word, " Potty"! Jonah doesn't talk yet.
Plus, it seems really early to potty train an 18 month old? Is that even normal? Anyway, there is NO WAY I am doing it, my husband can give it a shot and after two hours I guarantee he will stop.

What Not To Do

My husband sold his old phone to a lady on Craig's List. The plan was to meet her tonight at the local grocery store. She was getting a great deal on a Verizon Voyager that still had the box, with two batteries and all the accessories. She drove an hour after work to pick it up.
She and her husband called Zachary, letting him know they were in the parking lot, in a silver car, flashing their lights.

What NOT to do in this situation:

1. Assume the silver car behind you with their brake lights on is the buyer.

2. Walk up to the car, and start handing them the stuff, while saying ,
"Hi! You just want to look it over for a second. Make sure it's what you want."

3. After the couple explains you have the wrong people, (and you feeling humiliated) try to make a joke of it and say,
" Well, aren't you here for the drugs dude? they're all here in the box."
If you say this to a stranger in a dark parking lot, it will really freak them out.

4. Laugh awkwardly, and apologize as the car speeds off.

5. When you finally find the right people, say,
"Are you the right people?"


As badly as I feel for my poor husband, I can't help but laugh at how awkward it is to buy/sell stuff on Craig's List. I think the website should start a dating or friends listing section..or do they have that already? That's exactly what it feels like when you make a deal with a stranger through Craig's List. You text back and forth, asking questions about what it is you want, and then when you finally decide to get it, you meet in REAL LIFE and realize your now BEST FRIENDS!

Okay, so maybe it's not exactly like that. But for some reason my husband always texts a person for like three days before making a deal. If the person is buying it from us, they will text us asking us for specifics or price checks, or he does the same to them. It's the hardest money you'll ever make.
