The finished wall! I am really loving the change, Tom came over today to hang the mirror before Tommy came home!

Potty Training Update:
Ok, Logan has NO CLUE what the toilet is for!!!! He may tell me his diaper is wet but that is it!!! So, my latest effort is to put the big boy underwear on over the diaper. Not sure this is a method in and of itself, but he has also figured out how to take the diaper off, so the underwear make it stay on...oh well, we will try again soon...

And finally, to the lady who TOTALLY cut in front of me at Sam's. Did you enjoy hearing my son cry and fuss while you took your turn in front of us? If we had gone in front of you, we would have been out of range faster and would have, no doubt, added years of life to your ear drums. But as a christian mommy, with children watching my every move, I just smiled and acted like hearing Logan cry and fuss is the easiest thing in the world to endure. That took up all of my energy and I was cranky the rest of the day. (smile)

i love the wall color...i have chocolate brown in my house too. obviously we both have great taste:)
Stacey, one thing we tried with potty training was putting the diaper over the underwear. That way they could feel that they were wet, but it didn't make a huge mess. Maybe worth a try????
People can be so aggravating, can't they. Good thing I am never like that :)
I have never understood why people lose their manners in stores!?!?! Even with kids, if someone has a baby I let them go in front of me!
As a Christian lady you showed grace! Good for you!
The wall does look really nice. I love the white fireplace against the colored walls.

I had to read your post to Kev right away due to your encounter at Sam's... too funny!
Oh Stacey! In Asia witnessing people cutting in line is an EVERY DAY occurrence. We have remained silent numerous times, but now, with a huge grin, I politely say 'excuse me mam/sir, but I was in line here' and they usually reply with an 'Oh, so sorry, didn't see you.' (yeah right)! Honestly, if we don't, we'd never make it through any lines. It seems to be the worst at airports and with older generations. The younger bystanders actually physically push the elders back. We definitely will not be resorting to this method! :-)
I wondered too how I would handle the situation with our children present someday. There are several points of view as far as an opportunity to teach a life lesson.
Anyway, I just wrote a novel - sorry! Your post really hit home - as usual!
Oh I definitely feel for you as far as the potty training goes! Zeph sits on the potty but doesn't do a thing. Then he gets in the bathtub and pees. lol! I really like the wall. Good for you!! And the Sam's story is too funny! The Sam's in Greenwood is busy everytime I'm there. No matter what day of the week or time of day!
