Here are my Leatherkid-related Facebook posts from April, May and June, 2012. They are unedited and should generally be assumed to start with “Carla Reiter Leatherman…”
I think there were a lot of good posts in this quarter, from the goopy animal cracker to Cal announcing he's going to be "bad" to the unexcitement over the dry Pull-Up to Cal understanding why we didn't read books before bed. My favorite over all of them was the one on April 13th about what Cal would take to school that day -- it was classic, and we still laugh at it today.

wishes she could re-do the first trip through the line to the see the Easter Bunny this AM... either that or stay firm on her "no" for the second trip. Cal: 1, Mommy: 0.

just had a wet, goopy, half-eaten animal cracker shoved into her mouth by Ella and could have done without THAT generosity.

wonders how long the clip-on tie will be on Cal's polo shirt this AM - to school, through to naptime or all day?

has an unsolicited "I love you, Mommy" from Cal this AM that will prevent the spilled coffee and stiff neck from ruining her day.

is a little concerned about her kids' sensitivity to living creatures - Cal's first instints were to kick the cat and smush the spider, and Ella likes to poke people in the eye.

thought the clip-on tie might make another showing at school today for Picture Day, but Cal opted for the lovely train t-shirt instead. At least he wore jeans instead of sweatpants.

had a rough morning with an obstinate Cal. On our way out the door, Cal changed his mind about bringing something that starts with "N" to show-and-tell today, to which Dan responded (sounding it out), "you'll bring na- na- na- NOTHING." Too funny.

wonders if people are asking themselves if it's dirt or goopy animal cracker handprints all over my skirt this AM.

learned just yesterday that Cal's favorite team is the Blackhawks. I didn't even know he knew they exist!

"Where IS MY iPod?" Cal just asked in an accusatory, possessive tone. This was somehow translated from Dan's, "Do you know where the black iPod is?"

was told "pick up the pace, Mommy" by Cal earlier. He used it correctly, which is to be expected considering all of the times he's been on the receiving end of that comment.

is regretting letting Cal take that 4-hour nap this afternoon. On the plus side, he's calling for Daddy.

is a little concerned after this comment by Cal: "Mommy, I'm going to be a BAD BOY today." Early signs are that he's right.

Cal and Zoe... is this the same kid who terrorized Squeaker with the shopping cart?

next time I tell any of you that I think Cal's past the terrible 3's, please punch me in the face.

The kids and me on Mother's Day -- Cal could only muster a fish face for the picture. I'll take it over no picture.

thinks this is an indication that Cal's going to be in a Pull-Up at night for awhile despite all of our enthusiasm and encouragement otherwise:
Daddy <after showering Cal with praise and excitement after seeing he had a dry Pull-Up this AM>: "Cal, what did you want to tell Mommy?"
Cal: "Mommy, I had a GREAT BIG GIANT POOPY!"
Eh, I was proud anyway.

likes that Cal at least gets it -- check out this exchange:
Me: We didn't read books before bed TWO nights in a row. Why didn't we read books before bed two nights ago?
Cal: Because we watered the flowers instead.
Me: Why didn't we read books before bed last night?
Cal: Because I was grumpy and didn't make good choices.

is still laughing at the scene in Ella's room this AM after an engaging Cal left it: Ella sitting up in her crib, focusing on something; a pair of jeans, t-shirt, socks and diaper tossed in with her; and our girl trying (unsuccessfully) to put a sock on her right foot.

was informed by Cal on the way home from school yesterday, "I kind of had a rough day, Mommy." I eventually learned this was all due to almost getting a scratch after a fall on the playground.
