Yea! Bug is finally potty training. I swear, I thought it would never happen. But this weekend, bam. He said he wanted to wear underwear and we have been happily, Ne I say, messily peeing in the potty. He tried the big potty but changed to a little one we bought at target a few months ago. He insists on peeing standing, just like big brother. I know I shouldn't compare, but his process is to pee every 10 minutes. I swear, by the time Papageno decided not to wear diapers he had a bladder like a whale. He never had to run to the potty. Bug, every store, every stop, every half hour its a trip to the potty.
We ran into trouble at the babiesRus because he couldn't reach over the seat. Since he wouldnt do it sitting down we had to resort to a diaper. Oh well, at least he is trying.
Today was fun, we went to LACMA (LA County Museum of Art). It was a "Family Sunday" and his school had arranged to be there. There weren't many of his school mates, but there were a couple. We started off with a music and music area. This was a couple of guys banging on somed drums while a "leader" 
got the kids to all sorts of movements to the music. It was fun, crazy and right up Papageno's alley. While Papageno was dancing Bug was in another tent doing some sort of toddler craft. It took him a while to warm up, but he enjoyed it in the end. When it

e then went on to a sort of art exhibit. There you were supposed to write a joke and then paste it to a "sculpture" that was then painted. Papageno thought his joke where hysterical. I, nor anyone else for that matter, didn't get them. The joke reads "There once was a squirrel who was a human being" He just told me that is funny because "it is not real." The other joke was "I threw the clock out of the window". That is funny because "you can't really take the clock off the wall", again met with raucous laughter. "there once was a boy who had no brain" That is funny because "nobody has no brain, otherwise they wouldn't remember something" So there you have it, humor to a six year old.

After this we moved on for a tour of some highlights in the museum. This was led by Papageno's art teacher, a employee of LACMA who comes to the school once a week. She is great and does some really fun stuff with the kids. Unfortunatley Papageno was to amped up from his dancing and creating of great prose to be able to handle calmly looking at pictures in the museum so it seemed a good time to leave. Besides, we had a t-ball game to get to.
Story of the day:
So this morning we took the boys to our favorite local diner for chocolate chip pancakes. Papageno had two servings. After that we took Dan home to work and went off to buy Papageno a new car sear, shoes and then go to me his friends at LACMA and then go on to t-ball. Basically a whole day revolving around him. While driving to the store I was listeing to a song I like (Hotel California by the Eagles ... don't say anything!) and he wanted me to put on the Batman CD he likes to listen to (the soundtrack to The Dark Night) I said no. Some arguing ensued about my not being kind, blah blah blah. He then states " mom it would really be kind of you to think of someone else once in a while". I mean ... what do you say to that? (other than beast!)
