Here is the conversation that I JUST had with my daughter. Please enjoy this little nugget of hilarity..... These are the conversations that I get to have ALL....DAY.....LONG......
Imagine, will you....Ava in the bathroom on the potty, and I am in the family room on the couch ordering birthday party decorations for Parker's upcoming 1st birthday.....
AVA: Mommy!
ME: Yes, honey?
AVA: I went potty AND poopy!
ME: Great job, Ava! Make sure that you wipe very well and wash your hands.
AVA: You wanna come see?
ME: No, thank you.
AVA: Why not?
ME: Because I am eating lunch while I work, and I don't think I want to see it while I am eating.
AVA: But it's a big, giant one!
ME: That's okay. Just flush it down.
AVA: Mommy?
ME: Yes, honey?
AVA: You should come here. Seeing poopy is sooooooo much fun!
ME: (Sigh....) Okay, honey. I'll come see it.
(I'll spare you all of the details, but my daughter was correct--it was poopy, and it was big and giant.....)
At this point I put her up on her stool at the sink and get her started washing her hands. I walk back to the couch and sit down to continue my work.
AVA: Mommy?
ME: Yes, honey?
AVA: Does daddy have a silly bottom?
ME: (Giggling--I remembered that Ava walked in on Eric going to the bathroom last week) No, honey. Remember? Daddy just has a boy bottom.....just like Parker does.
AVA: I think it's silly.
ME: It's not silly. It just looks different than a girl bottom.
AVA: Yeah.....like a tail.
I'm still laughing.

I'll miss you, Gidget.
I know that my blog tends to stay on the comedic side, but I also write this as my "diary" of sorts during the various phases of my life.....both good and bad....
That being said, our family suffered the loss of our dog, Gidget this past week. I had Gidget for TWELVE wonderful years. She was my only roomate for seven of those years. She was pretty much the only loved one from my "old life" that I got to bring with me to Arizona when Eric and I married almost five years ago. She was my girl....and I loved her.
This post is for you, sweet girl. You are missed so much already....and I will never forget the blessing that you were to my life.
