The Real Cottles

On our way out to Utah we stopped in Grand Junction for some gas and to stretch our legs. Well, we pulled up to the pumps at the Diamond Shamrock off of Horizon. I began to fill up the car (40MPG baby... oh yeah) and Cyn went to the restroom. After a bit, she came back and got Alex Jr. and they went inside the convenience store and I went to the restroom. After relieving myself, I saundered into the store and saw Cyn. I noticed something hanging off her back and when I went to pull it off it ended up being a 8 or 9 square piece of "something"... T.P.... toilet paper. And not just on her shoe, but stuffed into the backside of her pants. She claims that she as to put down something on the seat in order to use the restroom. It was pretty funny and in retrospect she remembered seeing a couple of guys kinda laughing and holding there cell phones out... so look out internet.

This was a lot funnier than I wrote it. Ask Cynthia about it when you see her.

Well, it's been a while since we've posted. Not having internet will do that. Not much has changed though. Cynthia is getting bigger, Alex Jr. has discovered the joy that bears the name Namco (Ms. Pacman, Galagla, Pole Position, etc.) and is peeing on a regular basis in the toilet, and I'm staying busy with work. Cynthia's scheduled to go in for a C-section the first week of September so we are preparing for that. The weekend of memorial day, we are going to Utah (Monroe to be exact) and hope to relax for a the week with my parents. I'm sure Cynthia will post during that week. Alright, I'm out.

So here's a short story. After months of on and on potty training without success, today without saying anything and all by himself, Alex walked up the stairs , placed the potty chair on the toilet and went potty (only number 1). He did it twice throughout the day and we are in shock! Only because he just goes and does it without any warnings. Ahhhh I'm so happy and so proud of my little boy. I thought this day would never come (we still working on number 2).
