The new house needed just a few adjustments yesterday. Mainly, it just needed to be kid-proofed. Of course, we have proofed the kitchen, I put all of the outlet protectors on in the kids’ room. Much to my husband’s fear, O had to go potty yesterday and piddled on the floor a little. Good thing my mother-in-law had disposable gloves, napkins and cleaner.  I told D that since O is just potty learning (not yet potty learned for a year yet), that he should expect him to make “some” mistakes.  I think D realized that (finally) yesterday.  It hit him that kids are kids not teenagers.  Explaining things to them does go a long way, but some things can’t be explained away nor will they be understood by younger ones.  O is only 3… so, you know, he doesn’t realize how rough he is on furniture nor has he mastered the art of using his you-know-what on the potty.  Hopefully, D will be a little more understanding when we finally do move in.  My D is a great dad though, so I know that he’ll be understanding!
