Marathon Moms

If it weren't for postpartum body fat I would be fainting on my couch right about now. I have spent the better part of the lunch time hours getting Josiah on his potty. And it worked! Two #2's! Hoorah! I have the charts, the stickers, the communication and the cheerleader pose ready for my boy when it does it, anywhere outside of the diaper. I must admit, it was difficult to realize that this was not going to happen on it's own, and my boy is getting waaaay to big for dipes. Thanks to a fellow ATLblogger for a link to a video I'm sure my son (and my dad and bro) would enjoy, this will be relief after watching Bob the Builder a gazillion times. It's 3pm and I'm finally getting to eat lunch.

Now I digress: Has anyone else heard those HP commercials where the lady is asking her grocer if he has oranges in any other color like cadmium orange or burnt sienna? Or the guy getting post it notes and comments that they are more burnt umber than yellow? I dunno this painting mama who has lots of drive time these days thought it was funny.

Another Marathon Mom got Eden some pretty presents whilst in Chinatown. Cute stuff! Thanks Lynn!

A bib with cute Chinese girls on it, a cute pair of pink shoes (Eden wears them everyday whether they match or not) and some strange snack that tastes....interesting, but the big yellow faces are to smile for!

The shoes are cuter on.

Here's my latest nude in progress. Some folks from church gave me the "giggles and raised eyebrows" for my nudes this past Sunday when they looked through my portfolio. Oh well, that's why I'm where I am. The church needs to learn, and get free, and the arts need to be redeemed. We're all sinners.

It's a bit Picasso right now, the shoulder and breast are off a bit, not in a good way. I skewed them down and messed them up. But I like the primitiveness of the face and hands.
