People who don't find out the sex of their baby are cute. There are many more surprises in life!

I've discovered over the past couple of weeks that I am still being surprised as a parent. You'd think after Jack shot poop across the room when he was a couple of weeks old that little would surprise me. You'd be wrong. 

First: lengthy, detailed emails regarding poop and potty training

Second: diarrhea in a toddler can and will happen in the middle of Toys R Us. He'll call it monster poop

Third: toddlers don't always tell you when they have to use the restroom (see example 2)

Finally: when mommy's back is turned for not even a minute, the newly crawling baby will get into everything. Including the toddler potty. Yes, my 6.5 month old just turned her brother's (unknowingly full) toddler potty into a mini splash pad. Gleefully. 

We're working on communication skills. I don't think I can take anymore surprises.

On lighter news, we're almost mostly potty trained. Working on the poop thing.
