This week's story falls under the category of "what was I thinking?" It started on Monday. Jonathan and I needed to get out of the house, so I decided to take Jonathan for a walk. The problem was that Mac learned that since he is small, all he had to do is dig a little around our chain link gate and he could wiggle out. I knew that if I left Mac behind, he would eventually come and join us. So, I put Jonathan in the stroller and put a leash on Mac. I didn't stop to think that I'd be training two things: a boy and a dog, because of course, Jonathan wanted to hold the leash. It was kind-of a fiasco, but Jonathan thought it was the best thing ever and laughed out loud the whole way down the street! The second story of "what was I thinking?" happened on Tuesday. Jonathan had a stomachache so I decided to give him some ginger ale mixed in his juice. Before I gave it to him, I decided to try to get some of the carbonation out since Jonathan hasn't had much soda before. So I just put the lid on the sippy cup and shook it up for a bit. Well, pretty soon I had soda shooting out of the cup! And it didn't just shoot out, it shot out and stopped and shot out and stopped about four times! Obviously, I had failed to think about how the seal on the sippy cup would work with soda. The funny thing is that Jonathan must have shook up the cup at one point because he had soda on his head and in his hair and on the back of the chair! Needless to say, the next time I used a spoon to stir up the soda--I didn't shake the cup!
