Uncle Roger's Notebooks of Daily Life

Monday, January 16, 2006

Tonight, Jared finally went poop in the potty. This is a major achievement for him. Mind you, the poop was barely bigger than a grain of rice, but at least it was a poop. Now, hopefully, he'll keep it up.

If he does, be prepared for a major upswing in the global economy. He's already gotten ten quarters to put in his piggy bank and a full set of ten inch characters from Toy Story 2 (Woody, Buzz, Jesse, and Bullseye). Next up, a stroller for his doll, a giant tow truck, a bouncy ball, a bath in the big tub all by himself, a ride on a train, and who knows what else we've promised him.

If he does it for his Nana, he gets a trip to the movies and a large popcorn (assuming we can find a movie in the theatres suitable for a three-and-a-half-year-old.) He also gets some more grown-up underwear (Toy Story and Dora, if I remember correctly), and some fancy Toy Story wipes. There's probably a lot more that I've forgotten, but don't worry -- he can recite the whole list from memory.

Oh, and yes, of course I took a picture of it.

Journal Description

My life is, to me, ripe with frequent challenges, occasional successes, spontaneous laughter, adequate tears, and enough *life* to last me a lifetime. To you, however, it surely seems most pedestrian. And therefore, I recycle the name I used previously and call this my Notebooks of Daily Life. Daily, because it's everyday in nature, ordinary. These conglomeration of events that are my life are of interest to me because I live it, perhaps mildly so to those who are touched by it, and could only be of perverse, morbid curiosity to anyone else. Yet, I offer them here nonetheless. Make of them what you will, and perhaps you can learn from my mistakes.
