A day off...

Oh, the bliss!

Dylan is having one of those weeks where he is pushing all the boundaries and just being two.  Combine that with the fact that Edith hasn't been sleeping well and it's made for a rough couple of days.

We took the kids over to the Mundays' house because Dylan was crying and Martin asked him what he wanted.  He wanted to play at Emma's house, and that's ALL he wanted.  When we got there, Emma said that she'd just have him for the night, and it was like a dream come true.  So Martin and I abandoned our kid and enjoyed being parents of one for a night.

I've decided that most of our stress with Dylan comes from his refusal to use the toilet.  He keeps peeing all over my carpet and it's making me so stressed and angry.  So we've decided to put him back into diapers for a little while.  It's frustrating because he was totally potty trained last month and this month it's like he doesn't even get it.  What a huge step back!

Other than that, we're doing well.  Martin got another "job."  He's working 4 nights a week as a delivery boy for Rapi, the Indian restaurant just up the road.  Since we live so close, he stays at home and is sort of on call.  He only actually has to work if there are deliveries to make, and he gets paid £5 a night regardless and a set amount for each delivery he makes based on the location.  It'll be an extra £20 a week no matter what, which will be great to have.  Especially since he doesn't really have to do much for it!

I'm just hoping that he can bring home a curry every now and again...
