Here is a picture of Wally in the hospital right after he knocked the light fixture down on his head.

They glued it shut. It's been several weeks, but as you can see from this other picture, the scar and the glue are still there. I was looking at him yesterday with the scar on his forehead, bloody nose tissue and dried blood all over his face, big fat lip from a trampoline accident, and even walking with a limp from crashing into Zach at the park. I had to take his picture. He is my daredevil, live or die child. Sure to cause me lots of worry and lots of money. :( My mom said he was my "little Jeremiah." Those of you who know my brother Jeremiah will understand what that means. ;)

And from this cutie little patootie, you can see Richie and I have been working on potty-training! Oh, exciting time of life. So much money saved on diapers, so much spent on carpet and laundry cleaning expenses. (Not to mention therapy for me from all the stress. haha) Seriously, though, he has been doing a really good job. There have been several days where he goes by without a single accident. The last two days he hasn't had a "Number 1" accident at all. He even goes on his own, pulls up his pants and everything without me reminding him. But he has had "Number 2" accidents both days. Ugh. I am getting tired of it too. It is seriously disgusting. Ugh. Ugh. Ugh. Wally and Richie sat there watching me wash Richie's underwear off in the toilet bowl and Wally asked me why I was doing it. "Because Richie pooped all over his underwear and somebody has to clean it now, right? And guess who is the mom? Me. So guess who has to clean up all the gross stuff? Me! Because I'm the mom. Me! Me!" as I angrily scrubbed underwear in poopy water. ha ha ha... He was quiet after that. Probably thought I had lost my mind. But Richie really is trying hard, and I am impressed with how well he is doing. His biggest motivation is not treats or stickers or anything, but the ability to wear pants. He HATES it if I just make him wear his underwear. That's his punishment if he has an accident, and I sincerely think that is why he goes so successfully. He always mentions getting to wear his pants because he is such a big boy. What an adorable little guy. I seriously just love him!!!
