You can't win them all

No I am not referring to the SU loss in the sweet sixteen-- but rather just my life in general. Alex has finally started pooping in the toilet. How old is he you ask? More than old enough. Anyway after buying a Diego toilet seat and new Diego video that he only get to watch while 'going poop'. Not that he ever went while watching, but he would at least sit there. Anyway Monday we had success, even without the video. We have been promising him and the other boys too that when Alex pooped in the toilet we could go to Chuck E. Cheese-- not my favorite place. However I had purchased gift cards months ago (as in before Thanksgiving) so everyone was excited to go. There was something every night this week and Jeff wasn't getting home in time anyway-- So Saturday was the day. However Seth started throwing up in the middle of the night. Not good. I think he was more excited than Alex. Jeff and I decided to go later in the evening because Seth was acting fine all day. We piled in the car got to Chuck E. Cheese, parked and Seth proceeded to throw up again. Now for all of you with kids you know this is a lose lose situation. You can't take Seth inside and the other boys will by very upset leaving after waiting not only all week, but months as well. I stayed in the car with Seth and Dane while Jeff went in with the rest of the boys and Dane's binkie. While holding Dane I noticed a dirt smudge on the back of Seth's head. The only reason I can see it is because he is bald. Thank heavens for that because it is not a bit of dirt but a tick!!! This is his second tick. He gets them in our yard!! So I moved the car around to the front of Chuck E. Cheese parking in the handicapped spot. I was willing to chance the ticket. I tried to get Jeff paged and just watched for Jeff in the window. Seth spotted Jeff only after a prayer. Needless to say I was glad to get home. Oh and for the record Alex has pooped in the toilet 3 more times!!
