The kids were taking a bath and Shannon saw Lily grabbing for
something in the tub. When he took a closer look he realized it was two
poop logs dropped by none other than RJ, who of course denied that
they belonged to him.

January 16th 2011
Shannon and I were upstairs with Lily. Shannon came down before me,
"Lib, you need to see this one." I walked downstairs to find RJ
quietly sitting on the couch attempting to gnaw a hole into a bag of
fruit snacks so that he could have a snack. "I want opened." Even
after it was opened the gnawing continued because there was some good
flavor in that bag.
January 20th 2011
I was running on the treadmill and would check on RJ every 10 minutes.
When I finished I came downstairs to find RJ completely naked (he had
removed his PJs and diaper), quietly playing with his trains.
January 22nd 2011
I just found RJ putting Chapstick on Lily. I am so glad that he looks
out for her.
January 25th 2011
Lily wanted nothing to do with me feeding her except to try to grab
the spoon. RJ started feeding her dinner and she ate it without
grabbing at the spoon.
February 1st 2011
Lily was happily playing with a piece of plastic and RJ ruined her fun
by roughly tearing it from her hands and handing her a car.
February 2nd 2011
I just found RJ sitting halfway up the stairs coaxing Lily to continue
her journey to the top.
February 2nd 2011
RJ started crying and I had no idea why until I looked and saw that
he had pulled a mousetrap out from underneath a counter and had set it
off. Apparently he has very long arms and a lot of motivation.
February 5th 2011
RJ just walked in with an unopened beer can, "My beer Mommy, my beer.
Delicious."
February 11th 2011
I was making breadsticks to have with dinner and when I turned around
I noticed that a couple were missing. RJ was breaking raw breadsticks
into bite sized pieces for Lily. So sweet.
February 13th 2011
RJ just drank the last sip of my whiskey and diet. Not that I think
it's funny, but his reaction was.
February 21st 2011
I just turned around to see RJ taking a bite out of a stick of butter.
February 24th 2011
RJ was dropped off at daycare this morning and immediately sat at a
table with a little girl and shared his veggie straws. The girl who
was working asked him if he needed a candle for his date and he
responded with a simple, "Yup." ---- Playa

March 3rd 2011
E-mail I got from Shannon while I was at work (he was home with sick
kids): Just put Lily down to nap -- very cranky – I went poop -- Lily
started to cry and I hear "I’M COMING LILY!" chugger comes flying up
the steps - got him in the bathroom while I was in there & he was
like, daddy poopin? I said yes and told him to go downstairs. He
turned the water on in the sink, washed his hands, and ran back
downstairs.
March 4th 2011
E-mail from Shannon: RJ vs LILY
RJ -3 pizza rolls and a few grapes

Last night at a friend's party RJ was sharing a plate with Shannon.
After a few minutes Shannon realized that RJ was dipping a carrot,
chewing it, then spitting up the chewed carrot on the step.
March 9th 2011
I made cupcakes for Lily to share at daycare and she of course devoured
hers. The girls said that once she was out of her seat she was scavenging
crumbs on the floor and they had to put her back in seat so they could
vacuum floor without her going after all the crumbs.
March 11th 2011
RJ went to the fridge while we were at the shop and walked over to me
holding 3 beers. He handed one to me then walked into the other room
and gave Shannon & his dad each one. Unprompted.
March 12th 2011
I walked in the living room to find RJ with his shirt half off, his
pants around his ankles, & his diaper in the middle of the floor.
March 17th 2011
RJ was just holding out his hand to Lily offering her a snack and was
saying, "Here puppy, here puppy."
March 18th 2011
RJ, "You happy, mommy?" Me, "Yes." RJ, "I know, I happy."
March 25th 2011
RJ came running in saying, "She likes it!" He had squeezed out ranch
dressing onto Lily's tray and she was in ranch heaven. Slapping and
occasionally tasting. MESS.
March 26th 2011
RJ just walked into the living room with a gallon of milk in one
hand and chocolate syrup in the other. "I want chocolate milk."
March 26 at 6:20pm
March 26th 2011
Lily just stood on her own for the first time. We clapped and then RJ
stood up and said, "RJ standing." Yup you are just not the first time.
March 26th 2011
It got quiet and I went to investigate. RJ was in the kitchen and had dumped
out "sugar" on the floor... it was actually Benefiber and he had some as a snack.
April 10th 2011
So, we got home and were outside enjoying the warm weather and RJ was
attacked by our rooster. Scared the crap out of RJ.
April 15th 2011
RJ thinks yogurt is ice-cream. Score for me!
April 27th 2011
Sitting on the couch and we heard the screen door close. Walked over
and saw RJ standing outside the door, diaper in hand, jammies around
ankles, "I gotta pee, daddy."
May 15th 2011
Me: "RJ can you behave for a couple of minutes so I can put some
things away?" RJ: "No." --- 1 point for being honest, 1 point for
making me laugh. So far RJ is winning today.
May 16th 2011
New bedtime stall tactic. RJ picked up a broom and wanted to clean.
May 17th 2011
RJ just said, "I wanna f'n dance." Where did that come from and why

evening. The only item of clothing on his body is a green fishing hat.
June 3rd 2011

Kids are in the wading pool with all of their clothes on...oh well.
June 25th 2011
WARNING: Any parent with a child working on potty training, please do
not make the same mistake I did. Do not allow your child to eat large
amounts of blueberries! Even though they are a good snack choice they
lead to unfortunate events that are traumatic for parents and child
involved!
June 25th 2011
RJ now says, "Yes, Sir", anytime he is asked to do something.
June 28th 2011

June 29th 2011
When picked Lily up from her bed I thought that something felt
different. it took me a moment to realize that it was because she was
naked and her diaper was sitting in her bed.
June 29th 2011
I feel like I may be raising 2 nudists...not only did Lily wake up
naked this morning, but anytime we are outside and have water in the
wading pool RJ strips down to nothing and Lily follows his lead.
June 29th 2011
We heard the distinct music of the ice cream truck & RJ asked what it
was, I told him it was the music truck. "Music truck?!" was the
response I got....he was satisfied.
July 1st 2011
Anytime that RJ is asked what he is doing and its something he should
not be doing his response is, "I don't know."
July 7th 2011
Lily started to cry and RJ turned around with a smile...he had taken
her treat right out of her mouth and was eating it...
July 7th 2011
The kid's playhouse is a firehouse with a pole. Lily really likes
"dancing" on the pole...this makes me laugh, but scares Shannon.
July 8th 2011
RJ keeps saying, "I want to go home". The thing is we are at home.
July 10th 2011
I am pretty sure that Lily calls Shannon and me both "Daddy", she will
look right at me and sweetly say, "Daddy, Daddy"...
July 16th 2011
Shannon: "RJ, did you like the new Cars we saw last night?" RJ: "No, I
like ketchup."
July 18th 2011
If I could hit a pause button for my life I would do it right now.
July 20th 2011
Me: "RJ, is it cold or hot out?" RJ: "It's cold, just a little bit
cold out. It's not raining!"
July 21st 2011
RJ is naked and dancing to Usher in the backyard.

their parents, and RJ keeps saying that he has tattoos.
July 29th 2011

fixed everything that was broken.

RJ managed to start the treadmill on his own so Shannon took out the
emergency card, two minutes later we hear the treadmill beep on
and we walk in to see RJ slowly walking and Lily ready to climb on
board with him.
August 9th 2011

more awesome is that he keeps popping up saying, "I love all kitty
cats & all dogs. I love all frogs, I love pink frogs. I love trains, I
have 2 trains."

RJ dumped some water out of his wagon onto the concrete and not a
minute later he was on his hands & knees licking it up.
August 14th 2011
RJ likes his flip flops, however they don't stay on his feet when he

flop on right foot. Problem solved.
August 17th 2011
RJ touched my face and looked at me, "Mommy, you're beautiful." Sweetest thing.
August 24th 2011
RJ was pointing at Sports Illustrated and said, "He's a champion,"
referring to a baseball player. New word, I'm impressed.

I was told that at daycare today RJ was missing for awhile. The teacher went to check on him and a few of the kids followed. He was found washing his hands in the bathroom with his pants still around his ankles. When the kids reacted RJ turned around to give them the full frontal as well. Thanks Ashley Hughes for that story
