Cabela's Piss Pot
Yesterday we went to Cabela's with Justin's dad and girlfriend. Cole loves going to places like that because he loves being around people and he loves deer. So we walked around the whole store and he pointed out every single deer. And a couple of elks and sheep...which are not deer, but don't tell him that.
As we were checking out I thought I would go change Cole's diaper. Now, I am not good at changing him on those little changing stations in public bathrooms. I will readily admit that. Regardless, Cole and I headed to the bathroom. The changing station is at the very end of the bathroom past about 10 stalls. Luckily, there weren't many people back there where we were. I laid Cole down, pulled his shorts down, not off, and opened his diaper. For anyone who has a boy, you know you can tell when they're getting ready to pee. Well, I could tell he was about to, so I closed his diaper back. A few seconds passed and I checked again and it seemed he was done so I took the diaper off and of course, he started peeing. I already had the new diaper in my hand so I opened it and put it over him thinking that the diaper would soak up whatever was coming out. Somehow that diaper soaked NOTHING up. And let me tell you, this boy had to GO!! He peed for a good 30 seconds, and NONE of it went into the diaper. It filled up the changing table. Filled.It.Up. He was laying in pee soup and all I could do was laugh.
I took his clothes off and soaked up the pee with the diaper. The very best part is I, for once in his life, had no change of clothes for him in the diaper bag. So I haphazardly put a new diaper on him, put his shoes on so he could stand up on the bathroom floor, and commenced to wipe him down with baby wipes because he was COVERED in pee. After I got all the mess cleaned up, I walked out of the bathroom with Cole, wearing only a diaper and his camo crocs. Justin looked at me like I was crazy. "Where are his clothes??" I said, "They're covered in pee. I have no extra clothes. Our child is a pee-covered naked orphan child. Let's go."
So, I have learned my lesson. Never leave home without an extra set of clothes. And, Justin has to change his diaper whenever we are in public from now on.

Naked boy
So this is one of my favorite Cole stories to date...
Cole has been soaking through his diapers at night here lately. It has gotten so bad that I started putting him in night time diapers again. The night time diapers are a different brand than I normally put him in and the tabs don't really hold as well. Well, the first night he wore them it was great. He woke up to dry sheets for the first time in over a week. The next night, he woke up to dry sheets once again, but when Justin went in to check on him, he had pulled his diaper off and handed it to Justin when he walked in the door. We thought it was hilarious. It was so full of pee that I guess when he stood up it just fell off of him. Or so I thought...
So the next night, last night, I put him to bed with his night time diaper on. We heard him playing around in his bed trying not to fall asleep for a good 20 minutes. So after he had been sleeping for about an hour, hour and a half, I went to check on him. I reached for his blanket to cover him up and it was wet. That's strange, I thought. I looked over and he had no diaper on. All I saw was his little naked bo-bo and he was sleeping in a big pool of pee. His diaper was in the corner of the bed, dry as a bone. So Justin and I diapered him from behind while he was sleeping, put a blanket underneath him so he wasn't sleeping in a puddle of pee, all the while not waking him up. It's called skills. We has them. :)
He had his diaper on when we got him out of bed this morning. So I guess if he keeps taking it off we'll either have to start putting shorts on him or duct taping his diaper on.

Deer
Cole will point out the deer on the wall and say "deer." Well actually he says "duh" but we know what he's saying. While we were at the Cabela's store and Bass Pro Shop recently, he pointed out deer all over the place. Even animals that aren't deer are deer to him. Like bears and mountain goats and stuff like that. Whatever they are, they're deer to Cole. Yesterday he did this...
He's so smart. I was so surprised he could point out that tiny little deer on the box. And he even recognized the upside down ones.
Oh, and he's started squealing like a little girl recently, too. :)

Delinquent once again
Well, I'm delinquent once again. I have been bad about taking pictures since we moved. I guess because I have been staying pretty busy unpacking and stuff. I went on a job interview at UNT Health Science Center on Friday as well. I honestly think it was a courtesy interview because my previous boss sent my resume in to the purchasing department there. I'm applying for jobs daily. There are a few I'm pretty interested in. So we'll see. Besides that, we're just getting settled in. Justin is liking the job here. Here are some recent pics of the boy!

Update
Well, I’m officially a Fort Worthian. Fort Worthinite. Not sure which is correct. Anyway, we’re here. Cole is, of course, adjusting well. He’s turning into a holy terror. He runs when I try to take stuff from him. He’s still a funny little guy, though. His third tooth is officially in. It’s one of his top front teeth. The other top front tooth is just about to poke through. He also has one, possibly two teeth trying to come through on bottom. But, he throws a fit when you try to look in his mouth.
I still have a few boxes to unpack and stuff to hang up. I need to buy some more curtains, too. There’s a lot more windows in this house than we’ve ever had. There’s a heck of a lot more ROOM in this house than we’ve ever had. This house is 2000 square feet. This is the biggest house either one of us has ever lived in. EVER. It’s nice because apparently we have a TON of crap. The movers who packed us up and moved us from Texarkana to here made a huge deal about how much stuff we have. Especially the fact that we had that much stuff crammed into a less than 1000 square foot duplex. We’re nothing if not efficient space users. Haha Now we have a garage to stuff crap into. Yahoo!
Justin’s mom came out to visit, see our new place and help us try to get settled. It was nice to see family. Cole loves his Gammy. Hopefully my mom will come visit us soon. It sucks that you have to drive through Dallas to get out here. It stresses you out and makes you regret that you have to be driving. Then once you get out of all that, everything slows down and it’s nice.
Now the pressing matter is me finding a job and finding Cole a daycare. When I go on interviews I was planning on using an hourly daycare. I mapped it today and the closest one I could find is like 30 minutes away. So that’s going to be a pain in the butt, but I don’t know what else to do! I sure as heck can’t take him with me!! I have applied to several jobs already and am just waiting to hear back, but I am of course still looking. I still have a ton of places I haven’t tried, so hopefully SOMETHING will work out.
Justin’s job is going well. He seems to like it. I think it was nice for him to start fresh. He has to walk a ways to get from his office to the job site and to his truck which has been a pain here lately because it’s been so dang hot. Holy crap has it been hot!! Cole wants to go out in the backyard so bad, but of course there are no trees out there and our backyard is in the west. HOT HOT HOT The other day, it was close to 130 degrees back there. I think the thermometer was messed up, but still. Holy crap!
I want to get some pics of the place posted as soon as I finish hanging pictures and get curtains up. I guess that’s all that’s going on out west for now.
