Potty Training: Day Who Knows

I picked up Zach from Kidz Kabana today around 11:15 after I got done at the gym.  Zach was in the bathroom washing his hands. Miss Stephanie said he did great with potty training today. She also shared that Zach has actually been sitting on the toilet to potty for some time . . . as it sounded good to him. That rascal. Tonight he would not potty before his bath, but he didn't hesitate to take a leak in the tub.  He is such an operator.  I wouldn't be surprised if he is running a gambling wring from his Little Tikes car bed.

Speaking of Little Tikes,  Zach and I drove to Belton today to buy a Little Tikes climber with slide. It was a fabulous deal!  It is in really good condition for half the price of some of the other ones for sale on Craig's List. On the way, I say, "Look Zach. We are in a town named Grandview."  He said, "Yuck."  and a few other choice words like icky and poopie, but I was laughing so he got away with it.  Then we drove past a trailer park and he said, "Look! Broken stuff!"  The neighborhood with the playset was nice. The gal, probably my age, operated a childcare from her house. Their cars had KU stuff on them, so I figured they were ok. They had 2 Labradoodles (my dream dog)! It was fun.

Mike got home from work before Zach awoke from his nap. So we set it up near his tree house for a surprise. I told him the Easter Bunny did it. He had a good time climbing and sliding on it. I want to find something to put on the ground under it to make it a little softer, like wood chips.

My manager is going to cross-train me to work in the ICU at St. Mary's. It will be great to be able to try it out.  I am excited to learn about the gizmos. Then I got a certificate for cookies for being the first person to notice that one lady that had a stroke, even though she'd been there a week and had the stroke years before. It is neat that they are so happy that we called the stroke team.  Also, this goes against my personal trainer's advice, but St. Mary's has the BEST chicken-fried steak with mashed potatoes and gravy.
