Livin’ it Up on Friday Night
Every once in a while people use some interesting search terms to end up on my blog. Most of the time the search terms makes sense. Like “Evenflo sippy cups” because I have had a giveaway for those. Or “Pediatric Trigger Thumb” because Hailey has that and I have talked about it.
But the other day someone used a search time that made me laugh right out loud.
Apparently if you use the search terms “livin it up livin it up oh yeah its friday night” my blog will be one of the results. And that? It makes me laugh. Because we are not all that exciting around here on Friday nights.
Last Friday we went out to dinner. We hardly ever go out to dinner anymore. Why? What is the reason? The 2 1/2 foot toddler is the reason. But for some reason I forget once in a while and when Rich asks me if I want to go out to eat I remember that I do not exactly like to cook and forget how Hailey acts and we go out to eat.
We went to an all you can eat buffet because I knew that would be good for my diet because then we don’t have to wait for our food and it’s a little easier to deal with Hailey. But as soon as I finished my OCD-fashion recleaning of the table and highchair Hailey announced “ALL DONE!” I quickly got her a plate of food, she ate one piece of cheese and said, “ALL DONE!!” And then a little louder she said “WALK!” Then there was the screeching and yelling and more “ALL DONE!” and “WALK!!” announcements. Needless to say, I did not get to eat all I could eat. Although that is probably a good thing.
Afterwards we had to go to Circuit City and Target. I ran in to Circuit City to have a quick price adjustment done while Rich and Hailey waited in the car. When I got back to the car Hailey said “TA!” which means Target. I agreed that yes we were going to Target now and Hailey responded, “Fun, fun.” I have no idea where she gets her love for Target.
We didn’t bother with a cart because I only needed two things. Some Zantac and some forks for Hailey. About a half hour later we were ready to check out with Rich holding the two things we needed plus about 10 other things, one of them being a potty chair.
Next stop? The grocery store.
See how we live it up on Friday nights?
When we got home Hailey wanted to open the box with her potty chair in it.
(As a side note- why in the world does a potty chair make me sad? I mean diapers cost a fortune. Hailey fights me like she is a professional wrestler when I try to change her. But still, the idea of potty training makes me down right emotional.)
And so.
We opened the potty chair box and put the potty chair together. Hailey sat on it a couple of times (with her clothes on) just to try it out. I’m not really pushing anything yet because I don’t think she’s ready I’m ready. I did put the potty chair in the bathroom and had Hailey try it out for real. Nothing happened though until I put her diaper back on.
Anyhoo, Hailey really loves her potty chair and brings it all over the house with her. Since it hasn’t been used for any official potty chair business yet I don’t mind that it is sitting in our living room right now. Or that it sits next to Hailey’s chair at meal times. Or even that it sits next to Hailey’s bed while she sleeps.

This was a cute post.
Loved this post! Kya LOVES Target as well! Good luck with the potty training once you decide to do it. I put it off forever because 1. I just didn’t wanna do it because it was hard for me to see my baby grow out of diapers *SNIFFLE*, so I can totally relate with you there and 2. I have heard ALL the horror stories and how long it takes and this and that and it just wore me out thinking about it. Anywho, I just started training Kya on Thursday and I went with some advice of some of my friends and read the book they told me and I was most AMAZED at how quickly it worked. YAY! I posted about it here, if and when you are ready.

Good luck
how cute! I think we have the same potty chair!
Hi!! I added the Blogaholics Anonymous to my blog site….I’m ADDICTED!!!
We are getting ready to purchase the first potty seat too and the thought makes me SAD too!!!
lol – your Friday night sounds like my Friday night. Or maybe with a DVD thrown in the mix.
But buying a potty chair means lil’ Hailey is growing up already… how fast it flies!
Oh, I have heard of comfort blankies, pacifiers, and teddies, but this is a first to get an attachment to a potty chair. That’s too funny. I am impressed & think you do have a busy Friday night. We would never go to two whole stores after eating, that’s just nuts.
I always get a kick out of the google searches. Mine usually have to do with something DIY, go figure!
Sounds like a Friday night around here, although Ladybug is still pretty cooperative during shopping trips. For now…
Oh now THAT’s just adorable! The best kind of Friday night around if you ask me!
She’s so cute and WOO HOO to a new potty – good luck! Take care – Kellan
My kid loves target too. How funny. Anyway, yeah it is hard to go out to dinner with the little one. One night they are great and the next horrible. They are just bored I guess.I am glad you had such a successful friday night with all the errands.
Tag Melanie-your it.
That sounds pretty productive to me actually!
haha…that is cute that Hailey loves her potty chair so much! Good luck getting her to use it.
