Potty Chair - EDM #30 - Draw a Chair

Journaling:

This is not your grandmother's potty chair. It has sensors in the bowl that detect wetness and play a tune. Alas, nothing but silence today. It also has a flush handle, toilet paper holder and a clear blue plastic lid. Potty chairs have come a long way since my day.

I'm guessing this is the only potty chair in all the chairs that have ever been drawn for this EDM challenge.

Potting training attempts with the triplets go something like this:

(6 hours since last wet diaper; plus cup of juice, cup of milk and a nap.)

Do you need to tee-tee?
Nooooooooo......

(30 minutes later)

Do you need to tee-tee?
Nooooooooo.......

(30 minutes later)

Let's go try to tee-tee. Listen....listen....listen for the tee-tee.

(10 minutes of sitting on the potty chair)

Did you tee-tee? Do you need to tee-tee?
Nooooooooo........

sigh
OK then, let's pull up your big girl panties.

(3 minutes later = 3 wet Pull-ups)

Apparently somebody doesn't grasp the concept, but I'm not sure if it's the babies or the adults. Hummmm.....

Triplet Attack!

Journaling:

The triplets showed up unexpectedly at noon for an overnight visit, so the attic work order is on indefinite hold. All three of us spent every moment herding babies for the rest of the day and night. I drew their shoes after they went to bed because that was the only part of them that stayed still.

Poppy grilled teriyaki chicken (special request from me) for an early Memorial Day cookout. He also grilled huge portobello mushrooms and zucchini spears. Yum! The trips didn't care for the zucchini and all the pieces got handed back to Nana.

The trip with the snotty nose showered me with a sneeze. Joy.

EDM #10 - Draw Some Hands

These are the hands of my triplet great-nieces who just turned 2-years-old. Their little hands are into everything these days!

The girls need some little gay minions to help them out with hair and wardrobe, doncha think??? Those dog ears could use some product.

Wrapping Quilts

Each of the quilts for the triplets have a different color back to tell them apart. The back is the same color as the bottom strip of material on the front.

Mammaw Speck makes quilts for EVERYBODY. Half the pile this year are for nieces and nephews of her sons-in-law and daughters-in-law; kids whom she is not related to by blood or marriage. Golly, she's never even seen a photo of the triplets (I guess I need to remedy that.) The ballerinas are the second or third batch of quilts she's made for them and they're not even two years old.

Spooky Bee Girl

This is one of my 7-month-old triplet great-nieces in her Halloween costume. She was ecstatic about being a bee! Her two sisters, not so much.

I know this is a bit repetitious, but here is the journal page for today. I printed out a copy of the the original painting using a color printer and regular copy paper and glued it in my journal. It may not last, but eh. There it is.



Had to go in and digitally edit out the baby's real name. Her bloggity name is "Butterbean."
