I do not think that means, what you think it means

Joshua, after a great trip to Nebraska while Mommy went East to visit friends, was cuddling with Mommy last night and in a loving way turned to her and said.

"Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you too."

This morning when Joshua woke up he and I laid on the couch together for a couple of minutes and he turned to me and said, "Daddy, nice to meet you. Nice to meet you too."

I couldn't help but turn to him and say, "You keep using that word. I do not think it means, what you think it means."

I am not sure what Joshua thinks that phrase means... perhaps "I like you", "I am glad to be with you", etc.

But he definitely met a lot of people this weekend and it is shows.

I Go in the Potty!

We are in the midst of potty training.

One week in we are doing very well. Yesterday Joshua was dry all day... Not always clean (if you know what I mean) but dry.

So last night we ventured out to Good Friday service at church and halfway through the service I (Matt) took him out to use the restroom. Success! First time on a big-person toilet and it worked. So I said to Joshua, "Mommy is going to be so proud of you, you'll have to tell her."

As we returned to the sanctuary it was dead silent. I mean not a peep.

They had just entered a time of quiet reflection and prayer as people beganecoming forward to take communion. So it was dead quiet, not even music, people were packed in the isle.

As Joshua and I reached the row and started to slide down he proclaims, "Mommy I go pee in the potty!"

As the echos off the 1,2000 seat auditorium walls die down, I quickly turn around to grab and hush him, but not in time as he proclaims yet again "Mommy I go pee in the potty!" This time as the reverence was partially broken his proclamation was followed by a few snickers.

Kristin and I were a little embarrassed, but it was also one of those moments where you just have to laugh and think to yourself... "Joshua you are going to hear the story of how you proclaimed your potty success to the whole congregation for the rest of your life."

Busted Phone

Message from ATT Wireless to Matt:
“Welcome back. Here’s your phone that won’t charge and even when you do get a battery that’s charged, it won’t dial or text message because the cancel button is stuck down.”

Message to friends of Matt:
“Do you have an old ATT cell phone we could borrow for a while as we make our decision about cell phone plans/contracts etc.?”
