Good News, Bad News

Last night we went to see the Isotopes play with their newest member, Manny Ramirez. Ramirez is currently on a 50-game suspension from the Dodgers so he was sent down to the minor league to finish out his "sentence." The good news was we had a great time. A friend of ours has a suite right behind home plate so we had great (free) seats, and it was the largest crowd in Isotopes history. The bad news was that Ramirez struck out and grounded out in his only 2 at bats.

Our second good news / bad news story has to do with potty training. Cienna has been peeing in the potty for about 2 months now (although not very consistently) but has absolutely refused to poop in the potty. About 3 weeks ago I wrapped a present and put it on the back of the toilet, explaining to her that she could have it once she pooped like a big girl in her big girl potty. She showed no interest. The good news is that out of the blue this morning it was like she had never seen the present before. Her eyes got big and she pooped right there in her frog shaped potty. I was elated! Overjoyed! Ecstatic! She opened her new Polly Pocket and got a red vine and 3 jelly beans for her accomplishment. We called daddy and both grandmothers to share the joyous news. The bad news? An hour later she crapped her pants. Why God? Why would you want to poop your pants when you just pooped in the potty and made mommy, daddy, Mimi and Granny so happy? Why would you poop your pants when you know that you can get a red vine and 3 damn jelly beans just for going? For the love of God, someone explain this to me, because the frog and I just don't get it!

Please Cienna...Come Back To Me!
