Zachary will not be outdone!!

Hello.. my name is MaryBeth and I'm a diet Dr. Pepper-aholic... it's been about 30 minutes since my last can was finished.

Needless to say - I passed on my problem to Jarod... who will ask for a 'pepper drink' when we go to Sonic (or sometimes even when we are driving around and we pass a Sonic and he'll ask 'mom can we get a pepper drink'). Sad.. sad.. sad (I can see my mother-in-law shaking her head).

So the other night Sarah and I were both sitting at the island on our computers and Zachary was just wondering around. I hear the trash next to me crinkle and I look over to this:

A picture is worth a thousand words... but let me just add some of my own... that would be my 11 month old.. in the trash... having found a pepper drink.. and knowing EXACTLY what he's supposed to do to get some of that deliciousness.

And this is mom attempting to take it away:

Jarod's Pictures

The first few are when we got on the bus to go to the fair. As you can see... he does the peace sign great - to bad when you ask him how old he is he pretends he's never practiced!

The others are from the other night when he and DJ got a hold of the camera and took 75 completely random pictures. Please excuse his dirty face - it was dirty but man the camera makes it look waaay worse!!!

Oh and while on the subject of Jarod - he did the greatest thing tonight!!! He went potty in HIS potty!!! I've wanted him to sit to pee - so as not to have to clean up 'oops' well evidently if he's going to pee he's going to do it the 'right' way - upright! He took his diaper off and sat down himself - no prompting (I've given up on trying to coax him into doing it) and then he stood up and low and behold PEE! Now only a mother with 2 young children - both of whom are in diapers can truly appreciate the excitement of the 'first pee'. But since this is technically my 'diary'... I guess you all get to share! LOL (He can beat me later - then apologize when his child does it).

Jarod, Jarod and umm.. more Jarod

Oh see how they've grown!!
