Pooh or Poo?

"Chelsea," Chrissom yelled.
"What?" I responded in a really annoyed voice. I was trying to get some laundry in the dryer and I could hear that Chrissom had Zack in the bathroom. The last thing I wanted to do was clean up some poo.
"Zack has some pooh in his underwear, you better come and see," he said coming to get me. I could see that he was trying hard to not laugh. Then I made the connection. Zack has a little Pooh bear that I had just washed and he pulled out of the dryer. He'd put it down his pants and ran to Chrissom holding it in his crotch kind of dancing around and saying, "Pooh, pooh," Chrissom saw Zack dancing and thought he was saying "poo, poo." He rushed him into the bathroom, pulled down his pants and plopped him on the toilet still not making the connection. Zack said, "Pooh in my pants," and pointed to the the Pooh bear only then did Chrissom get that the joke was on him. Chrissom and I laughed really hard about this. We know that Zack is fun loving and likes to tease, but this is a whole new level to his sense of humor.

Farewell to Elmo Underwear

We'd like to pay our respects the the Elmo underwear who are resting peacefully in the sanitary napkin disposal box in the handicap stall of the Lady's restroom in the American Fork Costco. They met their end when involved in a terrible accident between Zack and some really stinky, slimy, yucky poo. We will miss the Elmo underwear and wish to pay respects to the dangerous job they had. They did a valiant job of covering Zack's unmentionables and taking the brunt of his "accidents." Farewell Elmo underwear we hope that you are happy in your new home.

Hot Dogs

Zack just brought me a bag with an empty hot dog wrapper in it. Being quick of mind is a must with Zack so I quickly figured out that he'd put them on the barbeque. When I asked Zack if that was what he'd done, he said "yess" the way he does with that little lisp he has. I went to check and sure enough there were all the hot dogs on the grill. At least he hadn't turned it on. Later when Chrissom asked him about what he'd done Zack said he'd put them on "daddy's barbeque."

Spider Man

For some reason, Zack thinks that spiders are called "Spider Mans." This morning I was trying to get him inside and I asked what he was doing. He was sitting on the grate of the window well looking down. He said, "Spider man." I went and looked down and sure enough there was a spider. He wanted to know what it was doing down there sitting on a plastic toy plate that he'd dropped down there at some other time.

Oh Flip!

Zack is the most coordinated 2 year old that I know. He watched his cousin Wade (who he calls "Wade's House") do flips on the trampoline, so he decided that he could do it too. At first it looked like a dive bomb hand stand but pretty soon the little squirt was flipping right over. Grandmas hold your breath, I know this looks scary but he really can do it, and does it every time he gets on the tramp. Tonight during Family Home Evening we were singing, "If You're Happy and You Know it do a Somersault," well Zack got carried away and tried to do a flip and landed on his head on the living room floor. He forgot he wasn't on the tramp. Ouch.
