I Need a Dog !!!

After this week I am convinced I need Santa Clause to bring me a dog.

Every night this week at 11:30 Juliette cried out for me to bring her a bottle, burp her, change her and tuck her back in bed.

Kim reminds me that my pants should reside in the dirty clothes hamper or back in the drawer, even if I am going to put them back on in the morning.

And this week Sienna called her mom in the bathroom, pointed to the toilet and said " Mommy, Daddy did this! " She was referring to the fact that Daddy left the toilet seat up and she could not climb up on the cold toilet seat and could not imagine using her hands to lower it herself.

The next time it happened Sienna called me into the bathroom and said "Look what you did Daddy!" This was the first time I was scolded by my 3 year old. I now understand why women are so touchy on this topic. By the time we marry them they have 20+ years of hating toilet seats. Daddy now remembers to put the seat down or to use his bathroom in the front of the house and not Mommy's bathroom or Sienna & Juliette's bathroom.

At least you put the toilet seat up. They should appreciate your thoughtfulness. I have a little sign in my classroom bathroom. It says,
If you sprinkle
While you tinkle
Please be neat and
Clean the seat.
Don't get a dog. Your father-in-law says he has one for you.
