Leef is on vacation.
Day 1:
Saturday morning Daddy was determined to finish off the potty training once and for all. Strip 'em down and pop 'em on I say. Well Charlie waltzed in and just took care of bizznezz, Harry took a little longer. But so far the score is Potty 2, Mishaps nil.
I did manage a bit of household bill management and set H&C to shredding the mess of paper on the floor. But when Harry came across a photocopy of Leef's passport picture page he refused to shred it saying "This has Mommy's picture, I can't crunch this."
Then it was off to the DC Trolley Museum to meet up with our fellow mom-less family, the Barnetts. We were treated to a ride through the woods on a 1950's era Toronto Transit trolley car. The docents were a bunch of old geezers but I didn't know this when upon entering I advised Harry, who was shushing everyone, that it was a museum not a mausoleum. I recommend a visit especially if you live in Pennsylvania.

Day 2:
The score is Potty 0, Mishaps 1, Diapers 0
It's Sunday morning and we're off to the National Air and Space Museum Udvar-Hazy Center. There's Charlotte still sleeping after the ride out in front of the Waterman Aerobile #6.
In case you're wondering, no Daddy didn't drug them. There
she is full of Vim and Vigor. My little Hurricane! Behind her is the Hawker Hurricane, bane of the Luftwaffe. And here's Harry having declared the Enola Gay to be his favorite airplane.
Leave it to Harry to find the one and only railroad freight car in an airplane and rocket museum. I'll keep the location secret as a challenge to interested readers.

Day 3:
Not much to report. Everyone under the weather and it's cold out. After naps we watched back-to-back episodes of This Old House, Harry like the building bits but not when the visit the decorators.
And oh btw... when you leave a sick wife and kids the week before Christmas to fly out to Vegas for a week, "Instant Karma's gonna get you." I finally got the dreaded crud bug the very day Leef left.
The writer is father to Harry and Charlotte and is very happy Leef is home.

Excellent guest post! Well done Paul-I'm impressed. What was the final tally on Man v. potty training?
