Ready?

The family is adjusting well to home life again, minus a few exceptions. Mark keeps waiting for someone to come in and change the sheets and provide fresh, clean towels. Courtney keeps waiting for someone to come in and vaccuum and wash the dishes. The girls keep waiting for a kangaroo to show up on the front lawn to pet and feed. Other than that, all is well.

Katelee may be ready for potty training. She grabbed her diaper tonight and said poo poo. She hadn't gone yet, so we presumed she meant she needed to go poo poo. So, Courtney took off her diaper and put her on the toilet. Nothing. This seems like a good time to put the diaper back on the kid who says poo poo while grabbing herself, but hindsight is a guru.

Shortly thereafter, Mark noticed what can only be described as "brownie mix" drifting down Katelee's leg. This would be the Hershey's brand with the chocolate added. We aren't quite sure how, but an entire trail managed to make it down Katelee's leg without making it to the floor. She was whisked away to the bathroom where we realized it was really much too late to put her on the toilet, not to mention the mess THAT would cause. So, in the tub she went for a good rinse. I'm not quite sure of the association we have created, but we acted really excited for her, repeated "goodbye poo poo" several times, and got her to clap at the end of it all.

Guess we will listen more closely the next few days for "poo poo" from Katelee. As a sidenote: one "brownie" was found on the kitchen floor after a retrace of steps.
