Yesterday, I kept a tally on my arm of how many times Ben said, "Hey Mommy." By day's end, my count was 151. No joke. It's no wonder I'm a little crazy.
Oh, and he wanted to write his name on his arm since he kept seeing my write on mine! Go figure.

The Boy Who Cried Poopie
BIOHAZARD WARNING!
Ben is in the throes of potty training. Some days he does so great, and other days not so much. Both Sunday and today (Tuesday), he has been the boy who cried poopie! He told me 3 times, "I need go poopie." So we would go to the potty. On Sunday, it was at church but before church started, and I had Annie on my back in the sling and I was trying to get stuff ready for family ministry when I kept getting interrupted. This evening, we were at a park and we had to run across a field to the port-a-john. Both days, 3 trips to the potty with no poopie. On Sunday, we had some success on the 4th trip, but then a mess afterwards. Today, no potty success, just a mess. Ugh! Then he said he wanted to wear a diaper. I hate to encourage regression, but maybe he just isn't ready. He has been recently crawling on the floor and saying he's a baby. Maybe there's some jealousy creeping in. So, I'll trade him the Cars underwear for a little extra lovin' instead!

Chad still recovering
Chad returned on Thursday evening! Yay! Although his flight was delayed in Detroit for 2 extra hours and he lost a small piece of luggage (only for a day), it was still wonderful! I was holding Ben when Chad came up the ramp at the airport, and I said, "Look, Ben! Who is that?" He said, "Daddy!" I put him down, and he ran on toddler legs and wrapped his arms around Chad's knees! So sweet. He really missed him. Even a couple days later, after I returned from a few errands, Ben told me, "I glad you home." I think it was a very big deal for him to have Chad gone that long.
Chad thought he had the jet-lag beat when he slept great that first night home. But then he proceeded to awake around 2:30am for the next couple of nights. On Saturday afternoon, we sat down on the floor to play Uno with Aaron and Katie. After the game, Aaron & Katie and I picked up the cards and left the room. When I returned, I found Chad lying face down on the floor sound asleep. I guess he was still recovering!
