Oh What A Day

Robert: Yesterday was a very interesting day here in the Bermudez part of the world. It seemed to be filled with 1 surreal moment after another. Maybe we are being a little dramatic. We are going to go through the highlights & you can decide :-)

1. Sparky woke mommy up at 3:40 am to go potty. When mommy went to let him outside the handle to our sliding glass door came off in her hand. The outside part went crashing to the ground on the patio. Thankfully we have another door to our yard through the laundry room
2. Once the day officially started around 7:30 am it was the usual routine of Sparky & Tiger go outside before anything else happens. Sounds normal right? Well after their usual 10 minute morning potty mommy brought them back in & went to use the bathroom herself. Sparky followed mommy into the bathroom. Not to be too graphic here but as mommy was going potty Sparky lifted his leg & peed right by my bath time toy chest. Mommy yelled at Sparky. He just looked at mommy then walked over the the dirty clothes basket (all of ours are the short ones so I can put my dirty clothes in the right place). He pulled out a dirty towel then dropped it on the pee spot. I am not kidding!
3. After a call to maintenance about the back door, showers, & starting dinner in the crock pot it was off to go shopping & meet a friend for lunch. Mommy got some crazy deals. She got my winter wardrobe for approx $160. Just to clarify what I mean by winter wardrobe I am talking about everything from pjs down to new socks. It was insane. I got so much stuff that it took 2 loads of laundry to wash all of it.
4. Since the back door was broken & couldn't be locked mommy left Sparky & Tiger loose while we were gone. They are extremely intimidating to strangers & work very well as guard dogs. The weird part of this is that Tiger didn't chew on anything. We swear this dog is part goat & will chew on just about anything sometimes form anxiety & sometimes for no reason at all.
5. Once we were home from our shopping adventure I went down for a nap & mommy went outside with the dogs. As she was scooping dog poop one of the lawn care professionals walked by. Tiger took this opportunity to squeeze through a tiny crack in the fence. If you have seen Tiger & the crack we are talking about you would not believe us. It is like trying to put a whole watermelon down the garbage disposal. Somehow he managed to get through & in record time none the less. Mommy charged out the gate after him. Tiger chased the poor lawn guy back & forth on the hill behind all 6 of the houses in our row. mommy was mortified & she also got a refresher course in Spanish curse words. I am sure it was quite amusing to by-standers. Mommy would have laughed if it was anyone other than her.
   
6. Then came bath time. I have had a lot of issues lately with bath time. I throw a major temper tantrum as soon as the bathroom door closes. One of my parents have had to get in the tub with me just to keep me from cracking my head as I am going for the world record for longest tantrum by a 20 month old. My mommy made sure that while we were out shopping that I picked out 2 new tub toys in an effort to stop the bath fits. Mommy was successful. I was pretty mad when I got into the bathroom but my smart mommy had the new toys hiding in their packages under the sink. I quickly quieted down as mommy gave me one package to open while she took care of the other one. I was having so much fun that daddy let me play in the tub with my new toys a little longer than usual after I had gotten clean. Daddy took this quiet moment to get my diaper out of the vanity & get my towel unfolded. When he turned around he got a very big surprise. Mommy came rushing into the bathroom with lightning speed as a result of daddy's screams (OK men don't "scream" but I don't know what the man version of a scream is called). Daddy was holding me wrapped in a towel & was just pointing at the tub. Mommy crept over to the edge not knowing what to expect. When mommy peered in she started to laugh because daddy was so freaked out by the fact I had pooped in the tub. Needless to say the tub, bath mat, & all of my toys got a bleach bath last night.
