Here are my Leatherkid-related Facebook posts from April, May and June, 2011. They are unedited and should generally be assumed to start with “Carla Reiter Leatherman…”
My clear favorite post during this time period was the first one on April 2nd. 'Nuf said.

Loves Cal's honesty. Note this exchange:
Cal: Daddy, I want my shopping cart back please.
Daddy: Why was the shopping cart taken away from you?
Cal: Because I was chasing Squeaker with it.
Daddy: If you get your shopping cart back, will you chase him with it?
Cal: Yes.

enjoyed a bike ride with Cal this AM and hopes the fresh air and activity have a positive effect on his terrible twos-ness the rest of the day.

needs an effective timeout idea -- the current one is not working on Cal.

should've thought that the "Cranky Crab" t-shirt that Cal chose to wear this morning was a sign of how the day would go.

wonders why she can't seem to get her act together even with all of this non-working time on her hands -- it's "wear-red" day at school, and poor Cal is wearing grey.

is proud to say that Cal can spell GLAMOROUS but isn't sure that he can do so without singing it.

's son wasn't sure if Uncle Jer was a boy or a girl earlier today... Daddy: "Is Mommy a girl or a boy?" Cal: "A grill." Daddy: "Is Daddy a girl or a boy?" Cal: "A boy." Daddy: "Is Aunt Erin a girl or a boy?" Cal: "a grill." Daddy: "Is Uncle Jerry a girl or a boy?" Cal: <pauses> "Is he a boy or a grill?"
is a little sad that Ella is sleeping in her crib (and not the bassinet) tonight... they grow up so fast...
ended her day laughing at Cal -- he pulled out a second pre-bedtime book to read, clenched his fists, scrunched his face up in a tough-guy look and crouched down in a stance mimicking the ND leprechaun. The book? The Notre Dame words book, with the ND leprechaun on the cover. What a crack-up.

hopes Aunts Kel Kel, Erin and Kristi don't get offended by this, but Ella's "I Love My Aunt" onesie has been the victim of a blowout every time she's worn it.

thinks Cal has a crush on the "grill" we met at the park this AM -- when we got home he picked up the ringing play phone and said, "Is it the grill? Hi, grill. Okay, bye"... and hung up.

thinks Cal is so thoughtful... earlier this evening, he held his sippy cup up to his chest and said that he was pumping some apple juice for Ella.

just read the kids' new book "Diary of a Spider" on her own and laughed all the way through it... not sure if it's just that clever or if it's time for Carla to get some more adult time...

learned a valuable parenting lesson yesterday -- never wear flip flops when you take your toddler to the ball fields to "watch" a game or two, especially after a heavy rainstorm.

considered taking Big Teddy & the stroller in place of the Kid for her run tonight but opted to take the iPod instead.

Nicely done! Loved the inclusion of pictures too.
