I love this time of year when there are TONS of fresh fruits at the store. Today I picked up two new fruits we have never tried before. I got an orange flesh melon and a camouflage melon. The orange flesh melon looks like a canteloupe on the inside and is really sweet. The camouflage has kind of a weird consistency. I am not sure if the one I got is too ripe or if that is just the way they come. It also didn’t seem to have a lot of fruit on the inside…mostly seeds…hmmm…I think it is too ripe.

They have stopped making my favorite milk. I went to get some today and the whole section where that milk usually is was empty. It came in glass bottles that you took back to the store so they could reuse them AND they would give you $1.50 when you brought it back. It cost less than $3.00 to buy, so once you got the refund for the bottle…that’s pretty cheap milk, especially organic milk. It was from a local farm, so I felt good about buying it and it tasted SO good. It was really great milk. The grocery store said they were looking for another kind of milk that was comparable. We’ll see…
Does anyone ever feel like their children do not have the same sense of urgency to get out the door in the morning as you do? I feel like the more I tell them (especially Liam) to hurry the slower he gets. He has plenty of time, too. He just dawdles. Honestly I’m not sure what takes him so stinkin’ long. Just get your clothes on, please, so we can get on with our day! Then once we get in the car Colm has about 15 other things he needs to do before he actually plants his bottom in his carseat. Ugh! Just get in the %&^$# car! I was a little frustrated this week. Can you tell?
I have a little under two months to get Colm to realize that he needs to do his business on the pot. Montessori said they will let you have a little wiggle room, but technically they need to be potty trained when school begins. If I could just get him to go #2 I think we’d be okay, but I can’t even get him to sit on the toilet. We are going to be purchasing some of that thick underwear this weekend and see if that works. I know I should just let him run around naked and let him pee down his leg so he figures it out, put when you are trying to sell your house you really don’t want your kid peeing everywhere.
