We've had two. Count them. TWO.
And yes, between some potty success and a new washer and dryer, life for me is good. This is indeed what excites me in my life and I am one with it.
Anyhoo. I am almost super-excited to tell you what finally worked and I promise I will if we have another day of success. (Who knew!! And no, it wasn't even the bribery of Mr. Cheese!)
But as promised, he earned two coins and a trip to Chuck E. Cheese and the rest is a story best told by pictures.

A fireman in his glory.


The fireman telling the mechanical mouse ALLLLL about it. Yes. He thinks he's real. Who am I to shatter his little fireman dreams?
