The weekend before Christmas, Chris and I went to Las Vegas with my dad, Steph and Wynn to celebrate my dad's b-day. We stayed for three nights and had a great time. We saw two shows, Love and Jersey Boys, which were both super. The window shopping and people watching were very entertaining. We took a tour of Hoover dam one day, which was very interesting. Not quite enough sleep, definitely too much wine, and Chris came down with a sinus infection, but a fun trip overall.
While we were away, my mom came to stay with Marshall and the pets. Despite terrible stormy weather, they had an enjoyable weekend. They baked cookies, went out to eat, and played indoors a lot. Apparently Marshall was a gem and did not whine, throw tantrums, or try to injure his grandma. Such a relief, since I get hit, kicked and pinched daily! Unbeknownst to me in advance, my mom came prepared to tackle potty training. She brought up a sticker chart, potty prizes, Cheerios to aim for, etc. Marshall thought it was all great fun and did a wonderful job using the potty. Unfortunately, due to our naturally contentious relationship, I have not enjoyed the same success as grandma. Using the potty and changing soiled clothes has since been a kicking/screaming ordeal. Not once since my mom left has Marshall used the potty for #2. That has been less than fun to attend to, especially when it happens out and about, like in Target! On the plus side, we have had some shining moments when he tells me has to pee and then uses the potty like a champ. It has been a real treat when he has used the potty while out and about or on play dates. Hopefully it won't take too much longer for both us of us to adjust.
Marshall dug the hole and buried his legs.
Wet up to his booty!
