My husband and I were playing in the basement with our almost 4 year old son and everything was going great, I was working on folding and sorting laundry, and they were playing hide and seek. My husband ran upstairs to hide, our son went up after him and the next thing that I hear is “Hey! Are you peeing?!” and my child is standing in his toy room with his legs spread wide and urinating through his jeans and on to the carpet. What the heck is this all about??  He didn’t tell us even one time that he had to go, perhaps having too much fun playing? and he does this??  Amazing. Of course we are not happy about it, he has been potty trained for close to year and never has any accidents.

Needless to say, his soaked clothes came off and promptly went into the wash and he had his bath a little earlier than planned this evening. I really hope this doesn’t become a regular thing.

My Mother-In-Law has been wanting to get my son a Leapfrog LeapPad for a really long time now, I’d guess since at least around October of last year. She wanted to get him it for Christmas, but it’s like the most popular toy EVER and was sold out everywhere! Unless of course, you want to get it off ebay or something for 3 times the regular price.. uh.. no thanks.

We finally found a green one (the boys color) of it in stock at a local Walmart this afternoon, and noticed the price had jumped from $80 to $110 which of course didn’t make us very happy. Supply and demand, I suppose? We debated over getting the Vtech Innotab instead, since it’s very similar and still the $80 price, but ultimately decided to purchase the LeapPad.

I’ll be doing a full review of the Leapfrog LeapPad, including my thoughts on everything about it including: price, installation, games and ‘apps’, how often my son plays with it, is it worth the cost, etc. over on my review blog, jennreviews.com, in the next couple of weeks.

I have the absolute pleasure of having one of those children that you leave alone for 2 minutes and go back to check on and he’s climbed up on the kitchen counter, opened the cabinets, grabbed a bottle of yellow food coloring, opened it and now there’s a little on the carpet in the hallway, a little in his bedroom, a little in his toy room..the whole bottle is empty, his hands are yellow, his feet have yellow spots, yellow spots on his clothes.

UGH!! Do you know anyone else that has a child like this? Absolute Nightmare. Thankfully this is an old house and all those carpets are going to be replaced eventually anyway.

Other things he likes to grab from kitchen cabinets and dump on the floor? Spices. Nothing is safe in this house!!
