...afraid of the dark. All of a sudden. Sunday, you know the "pee on the remote day" my mom was on the computer most of the day as I was and that night when I went to make dinner, momma was entertaining Brandon with msn messenger. We do these little "winks" on there and one was this green kid that jumps out of no where and screams and scares ya. It really scared Brandon soo much. He didn't even want to look at the computer anymore. Kept saying to me "No kid" (it looks like a kid I guess)
Fast Forward to Monday night:
So it's bed time and after our story, I did the 1,2, 3 thing and put his blanket on him as I do every night and shut off his light and shut his door. I go out to the living room and Mike is watching wrestling and has the surround sound on so I couldn't tell that Brandon was crying. By the time I heard him he was screaming and crying. I went in his room and asked him what was wrong. He kept saying "no kid no kid" I said no sweety there's no kid. He was still crying. He hadn't fallen asleep yet so it wasn't a bad dream. He was thinking about that wink from Sunday night! So I tried to calm him by rubbing his back and singing twinkle twinkle little star. I tried to leave again, shut the door and immediately he started crying again. I went in there and he was talking about a monster. I grabbed his bat, and hit it under the bed and said "ohhh there is goes running out the door" I told him not to worry about monsters cause they can't jump or climb (he's still in a crib) That still didn't soothe him so I put his monster trucks in the bed with him. He loves monster trucks. I turned the light off and left and he told me "no shut the door" I said ok. So I waited for him to fall asleep then I shut the door.
Ok so now it's Tuesday night and after going all day without hearing him talk about "the kid" or any monsters, bed time comes and I read him a story..the same story by the way going for 3 nights in a row now! I do the 1, 2, 3 with the blanket and pull it over him and then he goes "no kid" his eyes get as big as bowling balls when he says this too so it's actually quite cute! I told him there's no kid sweety now go night night. He tells me "no shut the door" so I left it open again.
Today at school, he was bit under his right arm (pretty hard it left a good sized deep red mark) and hit a kid over the head with a school bus that he pushes around the floor. I can't yell at him for doing it cause I don't know what time of the day it happened. Mike had a talk with him about it and usually when something happens, I can ask Brandon and he will tell me what happened. Like the last time when he was bit, it wasn't wrote down on his paper and I asked Brandon who bit him and he said "Jake bite me" and told me that Jake went to time out and so did Brandon (himself). I asked the teacher the next day and she said yes they all 3 went to time out Jake, Brandon and Braylen (his best friend) cause they were hitting each other over the head with dinosaurs. So Brandon can tell me what happens!!
At work today, we started this new stupid computer ordering system for our contacts so it now takes me a lot longer to put a contact order in and it's quite irritating. I mean the system wasn't broken why "fix" it!

update:
The remote works!!! I am thrilled that I don't have to explain to Time Warner Cable what happened to it!!
Potty training is going pretty good too. He can go a pretty long time without peeing in his pull up. We are still working on it though.

Potty Training and a Remote control
Weird title huh? Well here's the explination.
So today is pretty much day one on the trying to potty train Brandon adventure. We first tried the pullups. It lasted a little while. He pulled them down went pee in the potty and then was sitting on my lap while talking to Nonna and he peed. First I could smell it then because of the design on the front of the pullups, I could tell he peed. I asked him if he peed in his pullup and he said "Yes!!" I said "NOOOO PEE IN THE POTTY CHAIR ONLY!" So I got this wild idea...let him go bare butt! It actually worked for a while. He sat on the potty and peed a few times and then went to play in his room. Was in there 2 minutes and then came to me and said "Mommy I peed!" I said "Where?" "In my room" I went in there and sure enough there was a puddle of pee under his train table. I spanked his butt and told him that he needed to pee in the potty!! I put him on the potty and then said well that was the first accident and he had been without a diaper or anything for about an hour or so. I thought that he didn't understand the whole potty training concept but when he came running to me telling me that he peed in his room I knew that he understood what we were trying to do.
So at this point of the day, he's in the living room. I go out there within about 5 minutes of him being in there to see if he needs to go use the potty...NOPE...He had already peed a pretty good sized puddle on the floor. I had just literally sat him on the potty about 5 minutes before hand. So I asked him if he peed on the floor and he said "yes" I said "NNNOOOO" and this time spanked him pretty hard and told him to go sit on the potty. I then sprayed carpet cleaner on the floor right there and proceded to make lunch. Hot dogs and baked beans. So then comes 1pm and it's time for Brandon to go down for nap and Mike to wake up for the day. He has a wedding that he's a part of, in May so he went to be fitted for his tux. He gets up goes to the bathroom. I gotta go to the bathroom and I can't wait for him to get out of there, so I go use the bathroom downstairs. I hear him call down to me, "When you get up here, get the remote by the sink" I said "Why is it by the sink?" he said "OH you'll see" I said ok. I came upstairs and Mike was laughing. I said "what's wrong with the remote?" apparently when Mike went to pick it up to move it, it "dripped" on him! Brandon peed on the remote!! And not just any remote, he chose to pee on the flippin Time Warner Cable remote!!!!! So if this remote doesn't dry out, how the heck do I explain to the Time Warner people that I need a new remote??? Can you imagine the phone call.
possible phone call senario:
me: "yes I need a new remote. Mine doesn't work anymore"
Timewarner: "is there any physical damage?"
me: "uhhh yea, pee"
hahaha!!
