Enjoying our time in the sun

I am going to put myself out on a limb and throw it out there:

We are potty trained.

Thank you! I do feel like I deserve a standing ovation of sorts. It has been a long and bumpy road, nothing out of the ordinary I am sure, but long and bumpy nonetheless. I have cleaned up things during motherhood I had never thought humanly possible, let alone my ability to touch and clean up. Who knew something so small and cute could spew forth things so stomach-churning?

Anyhoo-not to say we won’t have our occasional accident, but we seem to be going downhill towards the maturity that comes with being “fwee”. Moose can go potty, wash his hands, and sort of brush his teeth by himself. He still asks us to go with him, so we are working on him just going by himself.

Moose is still wearing a pull-up during night time, and I am not sure when to switch him over to regular underwear. He is wearing real underwear during nap time now, so that is a jump, and he has not had any accidents since we switched.

Speaking of our birthday of “fwee” which is this weekend, we are expecting guests to help us celebrate. My Mil, Sil and Bil are coming to visit and we are all looking forward to seeing them. Moose has been talking about it all week. We are having a quiet low-key birthday for him, because of the large Pumpkin Party we just had.

Special thanks to our friend Jake, who mailed a gift for Moose. I came home to a large printer box on the porch this evening, and was pretty miffed Cory bought a printer without even telling me. Then, I saw the address info on it and realized Jake had used a printer box to hold the presents! Duh, my bad.

So I will try and take photos all weekend, and keep everyone updated with all the fun we will be having!
