Happy fourth of UTI!

I woke up at 3 AM on the 4th with the unmistakable signs of another UTI. Interestingly, it was exactly the one year anniversary of my last UTI, which is odd. My body somehow rejects America's birthday. I dunno. Luckily I had a course of Cipro ( I know, I know, I really shouldn't be diagnosing myself and taking old antibiotics) in the cabinet and after 24 hours I am already feeling 95% better.

To celebrate fourth of July I did my traditional making of the red, white, and blue food. I have had some really good creations...this year wasn't one of them.

These are the patriotic pancakes we had for breakfast.

This is my annual red, "white," and blue Jello. This year I could not find the white grape flavor, which is clear, and had to use pineapple which was way too yellow. Big disappointment. Two years ago I used white chocolate pudding. It looked pretty, but tasted awful.

And speaking of pee (weren't we?) we took the opportunity of a long weekend and started the potty training process. In some ways it is going much better than I thought, and in other ways it seems like it might never end. I'm already sick of saying "do you need to pee" and I feel like a total idiot asking him every seven seconds. He seems to get the idea, but he only likes to use his special small potty, and we are all confused about what we are supposed to do if he needs to go while we are out. We are using the bribery method and every time he uses the potty, he gets candy. I don't really like to do anything with out a theme, so potty training theme is "frogs."

I hope you had a great 4th, without so much talk of peeing.
