Day 7

BB breakdown:

So last week was double eviction week. Shelly ended up going home first, then Steve won HOH. He put up Meg and Jackie. I can't remember who won the veto, but the noms didn't change and Jackie went home. 

Liz won HOH this week. Meg and Becky may have convinced her not to trust Vanessa. And they are right. She has her hand in almost every pot. Steve has joined in with Liz, Vanessa, Julia and Austin to form some strange alliance. And Liz put up Becky and Johnny Mac. 

The bachelors in paradise are still crazy. I don't know where to begin with that train wreck. 

I know that you've seen Cale's video by now. Don't worry. He's not always sad. Typically, he's the same ball of energy he always was, but I guess he was just having a hard morning. I cried with him. I just thought it was a very sweet and genuine moment, and I'm glad I caught it on video. 

He sat on the potty a few times today, but still no results. He's doing better though, no longer flat out refusing to try. I'll take it. It would be nice to have him out of diapers before we have another one in them. But he will train when he's ready. I'm not trying to rush him. 

This morning he woke up, looked at me and said, "my name is Cale Forntin." I had to laugh. All I could think was, "well, thank goodness we cleared that up. I'd have been freaked out if you were someone else!" Then later he was playing with his phone and said he was talking to Gaga, walking around with it to his ear and telling you his name. Sometimes I think talking to a toddler is similar to talking to a very drunk person. It's all kind of jumbled and a word salad, but if you can get the gist, you're doing ok. I usually get the gist. 

Tomorrow starts week 2! We've made it an entire week! Happy Dance, spirit fingers, moving on. Let's keep rolling. We are kicking butt and taking names, and I know it's hard on you, but we love you and are so proud of you. You are our hero, and we will always be right here, cheering you on. Wouldn't want to ride this roller coaster without you. 

Love you to the moon and back, soldier. Goodnight. Muah.
