Could it be the Beginning of Potty Time?

What a night! Who got any sleep? Well, Daddy did since he dosed on NyQuil and had a few beers at the game last night. William did. An early wake up, but he slept well overall. So, whose left? That's right! Mommy and Madelyn - very little sleep. Madelyn is either sick or teething. But who ever knows?
Daddy went out to Chautauqua with Mimi and Papa to start opening the cottage. William and Madelyn can't go the first time out with all the cleaning that needs to be done, but they will be out the next visit. It will be interesting to see what William remembers from last year.
Madelyn's schedule is completely all over the road. She woke up, maybe four or five times last night. Was up around 4AM. Had a half hour nap. Then an almost two hour, but was woken by William (as he was screaming because Mommy said to be quite - nice). Mommy was able to get her back to sleep and she slept for another 45 minutes.
William and Mommy stayed back in the family room most of the morning and early afternoon to make sure Madelyn got her rest. They played with his block puzzle, made a caterpillar and cut out and glued letter C's. William got carried away with the glue. That was all he wanted to do. No cutting. No gluing C's or any other paper down. Just glue! Squeeze as much glue out as possible. Mommy just let him. He was happy and wasn't hurting anyone. The glue bottle was getting low and it was getting more difficult to squeeze it out. His fingers were also very sticky. Put those two together and you get an extremely agitated two year old. He whined for awhile before he asked for fruit snacks. Mommy obliged.
While Mommy was on the phone with Laura, checking in for the weekend, Duke barked. Mommy freaked out and ran to the front of the house. There was a Trillium Florist van in the drive way. What?
Laura sent Mommy flowers as a thank you for her shower! How nice. Pretty.
And they were on the phone when they were delivered!
Daddy came home from Chautauqua with the canoe. It passed William's inspection.
Best conversation between William and Daddy today.
Daddy: "Why is this book out?" Asking William about The Very Hungry Caterpillar. "What letter does caterpillar start with?"
William: "Letter Ceee! What else letter C?"
Daddy: "Cow."
William: "What else?"
Daddy: "Carrot."
William: "What letter does poop start with?"
Daddy, laughing: "Letter P!"
Mommy and Madelyn stopped by Jamie's Tupperware party just long enough to say hi and order something. Missy, Charlotte's mom said that Charlotte was asking where William was. They haven't seen each other since William's birthday party. Hopefully soon, before Missy has her baby.
While Mommy and Madelyn were gone, Daddy and William took all William's riding toys out of the basement and put them in the garage. Daddy got William to press the button on his Jeep. The button he was deathly afraid of on his birthday.
William expressed some interest in the potty today. Mommy asked him if he wanted her to take off his pants and diaper so he could sit on it and he said yes! He sat on it and tried to push, but nothing happened. He agreed to try again later.
Bed time for William was tough. He wanted to do something himself and was stuck in his tantrum. Daddy skipped books and songs and laid down with him in his big boy bed. They both fell asleep! Daddy woke up an hour later and went to bed.
