Mike was getting Lucy ready for bed one night and this is how they came down stairs.
The funny part is that it was Lucy's idea.
So we are in phase 2 of potty training now. Lucy has been running around the house half naked the last few weeks because it is the only way that she will go on the potty when she has to go. So a few days ago I decided to put some undies on her and she is still doing pretty good. We still wear a diaper or pull-up when we go somewhere. She did tell me at the mall last week that she had to go poopie. So I rush her to the bathroom, put on the many layers of toliet paper on the seat and set her on it. We wait, wait and wait some more. Finally, she says, I don't have to go. I say are you sure, and she is. So we get off and go back to the store and just a few minutes later I smell the not so mysterious smell. I say, Lucy did you make poopie. She tells me yes. I said, but we just were in the bathroom and you said you didn't have to. She looks up at me and says very seriously "I tried and tried to go, but I couldn't go." What does one say to that.
One more cute thing... whenever you ask her a question about something she either says I think so or I think not. It cracks me up!
I finally took Lucy to the zoo on Friday. It was a gorgeous day, my nephews were on fall break and Mike had strep throat so we needed to get out of the house (actually, I had planned to take Lucy before I knew he was sick, but it worked out great). Anyhow, we had such a great time... if you know me, than you know I love chimpanzee's, so that was our first stop, after the bathroom of course, I am 8 months pregnant. There was a baby chimp and he was swinging into the window, eating banana's and just entertaining everyone. My nephew said, I want to go in there with him and I agreed with him. Of course, when I got home and told Mike about it, he said the adult chimpanzee's are mean and probably would have bitten me up... thanks for ruining that idea! We also enjoyed the elephants because they had an exhibit room and this one elephant had his face right up to the window staring us down. Just a piece of glass separated us. Lucy said it was scary when his trunk would wack the window. We also smelt a porcuppine mark his territory in one exhibit and it just about made me throw up. Let me tell, 
the area was all his, I was out of there... it was a horrible dirty diaper/body odor smell... gross... aren't you glad I shared! We had a picnic lunch, saw all the animals and rode the train. Lucy and Preston loved the train. They both waved bye-bye to the choo choo for like 5 minutes and Preston even cried when he realized that it was gone and we weren't on it anymore. The older boys said, all we saw were a couple of ducks, so they weren't impressed. We only rode one-way on the train and we chose the wrong way... it was mostly construction we saw and a few ducks. Lucy has been playing chugga chugga choo choo all weekend... she has us all sit on the steps, including her baby dolls and tells us "all aboard" before proceeding to choo choo. She even gets Mike's belts and straps us all in.... such imagination!
