Why I will replace all our dishes with paper ones
I will answer that question in just a bit.. First: why our neighbors don't like us:

For those with bad eyes (and without a mouse to click & enlarge): that's Colonel Hathi's march from the Jungle Book CD played 43 times. FORTY THREE!
What song does your child makes you listen over and over and over and over and over?
It is unfair to pretend that I don't like the songs, because I do. We laugh and dance and act silly and sing. And the only reason there is a 'normal' song between the children's music is the enormous amount of trumpet played in that song.
Speaking about repeat, here's one I could do without:
Emptying the dishwasher:
get dish out of dishwasher
remove baby out of dishwasher
get dish out of dishwasher
remove baby out of dishwasher
get dish out of dishwasher
remove baby out of dishwasher
get dish out of dishwasher
remove baby out of dishwasher
It takes less time to travel the world on a turtle, then to empty our dishwasher.
And finally, the repeat I did not expect so soon:
"MOMMY I AM POOPING IN THE KITCHEN!" ............ "JUST KIDDING! HAHAHAHHAHA"
"MOMMY I AM PEEING ON THE CHAIR!" ............ "JUST KIDDING! HAHAHAHHAHA"
"MOMMY I AM POOPING ON THE GROUND" ............ "JUST KIDDING! HAHAHAHHAHA"
Poop, pee and fart jokes. Monkey started them at 2.5 years and have not stopped yet. He repeats the same over and over and over and over again. I thought poop jokes where something for 5 year olds. But I understand I have at least 2.5 years of poop jokes ahead of me. The joy. And he takes his poop jokes very seriously. He really pretends to do the act, and a few weeks ago, that triggered an accident in his bedroom.
"MOMMY I AM POOPING ON THE GROUND" ............ "MOM? Something happened.. Mom?"

Ah, the repeated favorite song. My 5 year old took a shine to the Cha Cha Slide last year.
It's never too early for boys to begin making poop/pee/fart jokes. I believe males come pre-programmed with them and feel they need to take full advantage of all the time they have available to perfect them. ;-)

One little secret that not many Mom's clue you into before you have your own children is that you are destined to repeat many, many countless things from songs, to diapering, to laundry. The list is endless. In our house, the song that is most frequently on "repeat" is "This Old Man." OMG! There are days when I might literally tear my hair out if I have to listen to it one more time. However, there are few things a mother won't do to keep her kids happy. :)
Thank you for your e-mail. Wonderful of you to drop us a note.

On a related issue, how is it that having two kids quadruples the amount of dishes you use?

It's not just boys. According to Rae, there is nothing as sublime as a poo/pee/fart joke. She's 6 now and shows no sign of slowing down. Watch out for Roo poo jokes in the coming years.
