Some correspondence, which Bob swears if I don't post, he will. As his audience is significantly larger, I'm opting to release our family drudgery here:
Note to Bob, Tues., Jan. 13 titled "oh lucky you..." Background: Robbie has developed a habit of pooping once a week even though he started solid foods. I have been stressed about this:
"Good morning! You are stinking lucky I did not have a camera upstairs this morning, or you would have a picture of a diaper FULL of poop. The gory details: Robbie has pooped the last couple days, but just a little bit. He hasn't really pooped since last Tuesday. that all changed today. I was changing his morning diaper, which had a little bit of poop in it, when I noticed that he had some stuck poop trying to come out. I pumped his legs a little and all of the sudden, there was a torrent. The kid was loaded and ready to fire. Everything he had been holding back just came out in log after glorious log of his first real solid food boy poops. The poop was a little hard and Robbie had a tough go of it, but he seemed pleased when it was over. Jack was sitting near me for the big event and was himself impressed with Robbie's first showing. And there you have it, the joy of a mother's day, knowing her son's bowels are free at last."
In my defense, I have been WORRIED that the poor kid was going to have to have surgery or something. Important processes being restored are vital family information.
Secondly, Jack learns to operate machinery that "mystifies" his father:
Note to Bob, Wed., Jan. 14 titled "Jack is smarter than you":
"So, here's the scene:
I come downstairs from sorting laundry. The spotted chair is in front of the TV and Thomas is playing. Thomas is not on TV except for Sunday mornings and off the DVR.
Jack: Mommy, something magical happened.
Mom: Really?
Jack: Yeah, I pushed a button and that thing popped out (points to DVD player, which is turned on...) and then it went in and now Thomas is on. Isn't that magical?
Mom, confused because working the DVD player requires two remotes: How did you do that?
Jack: I just pushed the buttons.
So Jack can operate the DVD player and you profess to not be able to."
Bob's response:
"profess, hell, it mystifies me. but at least now i have a second helper in my time of difficulty."
And there you have it: 2009 with the Lonsberrys.

Don't you love that our lives have come to the point where it revolves around poop! I don't know which is better, changing 6 to 7 poopy diapers a day or one really big blow out once a week. Hey maybe if you can get his pooping schedule down and time it right you can just hold him over the toilet and potty train early. Hey it is worth a shot.
Yeah, my life memories are being replaced with stress over infant bowel movements. People keep telling me I will miss these days so enjoy them. In fact, I got told that eight times in one visit to the grocery store. I'm opting to believe them. By the way Beth, I was sorry to hear about your mom. Hope you are doing well. Also, you need to come on over to facebook. EVERYONE is there. Come on...join the dark side...
