Potty??? Naps???

So Saff is teething and R is well on the path to being potty trained. Here’s a shot of half his new stash of underpants:
He picked them out. They are superheros.

So far I’ve just been following his cues. A week or so ago, he started telling me when he was “going pee-pee” and we started telling him that the potty was “the place” to “put his pee-pee”. Last Saturday he watched his friend Julien use the potty and practiced by peeing outside. This week we started putting him in underpants (I skipped “pull-ups” on purpose). The first day or two he peed in them. Yesterday he peed in a couple and then was able to hold the last couple of the day and go in the potty instead. Today, he only wore underpants (except for during nap and for bed tonight). We only had two little “starts” that resulted in changed pants. The rest were totally in the potty. While I am not sure we’re totally “there”, I do think that we are well on our way to saying goodbye to diapers.

To add to the potty stuff, he did not nap Wednesday or Thursday. He took an hour nap today, but hasn’t really acted overtired, so we could also be close to giving up naps. At this stage in the game, I would trade naps for fully potty trained. Of course, I would LOVE him to nap two hours everyday and potty in the potty, but I’m a reasonable girl.

Here’s a picture of them on the couch… I really love these couch picture because you can see how close they are in size (already) and it gives you perspective on how fast Saff is growing.

Still no word on the house.

Oh I almost forgot, N got to bring home a 2011 Camero for the weekend. I can’t wait to drive it!!! He’s been joking all night about “smoky donuts”, but I know he won’t actually do that in a company car. We might install the carseats in it for the weekend… really test it out. It looks super cool parked out front and really classes up the place. Not to “dis” the beat-up, 30 year old Scirocco; but if the shoe fits…

My final thought: I missed my Blog-avesary. I've had this blog for 5 years now. I've been looking back through and oh how our lives have changed in the last 5 years. Feel free to e-mail (goldiepre@gmail.com) me or post a comment.
