Jonas had been getting up really late the past couple of weeks, not that I am complaining. It's been pretty awesome actually. I get to sleep till 9:30, and when we go places (like the childrens museum) I can stay out longer because his nap time isn't at noon. This is especially awesome at the childrens museum where we went today. All the kids have lunch and nap at noon, but not us! It was actually so deserted today that I thought something was wrong because I couldn't hear ANYBODY. Like... weird, we were the only ones in that huge room with the train and airplane and stuff...
After Jojo and I got home, I put him to bed and then went to work as usual. Nothing amazing. Jonas got up, and we decided it would be a good time to take Rudy out and wander in the quazi-rain in our rain boots. Soo, we got that ready and opened the door, and what was out there, but a HORSE! Yes, in my suburban townhouse setting, there was a pretty chesnut mare outside of our house. (obviously) we didn't let rudy out because he was going ballistic, but we did go out to see the horse. It was our neighbors... i guess they have horses, and had to be inside for a while, so they let their 15 yr old grandson take one of the horses out for a while. YAY! Jonas was pretty excited (probably not as much as me), and said he wanted to pet the horse, but when we got close he said "No!" and shied away... so I petted the horse instead. Then Zack took the horse aroud the side of the house to munch on the grass there, and we watched. Of course, Jonas tried to eat some grass too, then decided he DID want to pet the horse. No, wait, nevermind, maybe not once we got back to the horse again. Silly boy!
I then went to a meeting for church, and when I got back Brandon and Jonas showed me the tent that they had made around Jonas's bed. Brandon said Joe entertained himself for an hour playing in the tent while I was gone... sweet! It was pretty great. We made some modifications and let him sleep under it tonight. Hopefully it will go ok.
ALlright, I need to go make some cookies!

Pooping in the Potty!
Well, we have certainly had an exciting week in the world of Jonas's kitten love. Monday, Jonas and I went to the Charles's to watch chase for a while, then we all went to the childrens museum. We got a message later that night from Monica saying they had taken the kitten to the vet and that it had a hole in its heart and wasn't expected to live long without a lot of expensive surgery. Sure enough, Wednesday Monica took it back to the vet with Chase because it was acting really sick, and it had congestive heart failure and had to be put to sleep =(. I'm sure the kids were devistated. According to Jen, ashlynn said "One terrible thing happened to the kitten today." Jen: "Just one?" Ashlynn: "Well, it was pretty terrible." Poor kids! Jonas is still looking for the kitten even now a week after we took it in. He even "moooow's" when I mention the Charles's =(.
Joe has gotten better and better at talking this week. He said "uh-oh!" (normal) a couple of days ago, and I said back "uh-oh indeed!" and he walked around for about 20 minutes trying to say "uh-oh indeed!". And he got pretty good at it! Lisa is getting him to say "ice ice baby" and Grammy is getting him to say "Yeah toast!". All very useful =). Brandon was watching Jonas earlier in the week and Jonas asked for a pick so he could dtrum the guitar, so Brandon obliged. Jonas walked over and strummed a few chords, then turned around and looked at Brandon and said "uh-oh, uh-oh!" and THEN proceeded to drop the pick in the guitar. Silly boy, its not an uh-oh until you did it! Stinker!
Tonight Jonas and I went to Advance to see mamaw and papaw (and fish), so we got home a little late. As soon as we got in, I went to get his stuff for bed, and he started pointing at the bathroom and going "Pee! Pee! SsSSssssss!" So I asked him if he wanted to use the potty... "yeahhh" (he says yeah now instead of yes). Well, I figured it was worth a shot, so I sat him down. He sat there for about 5 minutes going "sssssss! SSSssssSS!" and pointing at his lil' penis... he asked for brandon to help, and wanted to pee in the big potty, then changed his mind and went back to his little potty. Brandon and I walked out of the room and watched him, then BAM-- he pooped in his potty! Ammmmazing!! We were so proud. I let him flush his poop and he thought that was super and wanted "more! more!" Awww. I hope this trend continues, I could get used to it!
