Potty Talk

a little update on ethan and his potty training.

things are going great! so much better than the first time we tried. looking back, he definitely wasn't ready and we should have stepped back earlier. but at least we'll know when we attempt this with miles! while he has accidents, they are much fewer and farther between and he often goes to the potty by himself and just lets us know after he is done. pooping, which was a huge issue when we first tried, isn't perfect, but it is so much better. i bet in a few weeks to a month, he will have figured it all out.

now, i am not sure when we'll start the potty training during naps and nighttime, but at least we made good progress with this and i am not as nervous about attempting that in the future.

and now for a fun little story...

friday night we went out to dinner with a friend from work and some of her family (most of whom i had never met). the boys did great during dinner and after i took them around the mall to walk arond a bit. fast forward to when we got back to the restaurant and i took ethan to the bathroom with me. well, he knows how excited we all get for him when he uses the potty so he must have decided that the whole table (along with plenty of neighboring tables in the restaurant) should be just as excited for me. when we got back to the table he proudly announced that "momma went pee-pee in the potty!" fun times! i am sure that there is much more of that in store in the future...
