Drew picked up potty training much better than I was expecting. He wet the bed the first night and hasn't since. We're on day 7 and the last 3 days have been accident free. He even told me he had to go when we were at Chipotle, so he went in a big potty which was a first too. He's 1 for 3 on the #2 part of this so we'll see how that part goes. But after Aiden, I'm really ready for anything. Drew filled up his potty chart on day 6 and is really proud of himself. I must say his tiny tush in underpants is pretty much the cutest thing ever.

This is how I'm spending my long weekend...chasing a 2yr old around in underpants. I decided I've put it off long enough. I asked Andrew if he wanted to go potty like a big boy and he said yes, so I put him in underpants and immediately he peed on my dining room chair. Then an hour later he peed on his chair. But then at snack time at the table he says, "Mom PEE!" and we ran to the potty where he peed and he was so excited to get a treat since he's been watching Aiden get treats forever. A half hour later he said it again and went. So we're 2 for 4 at the moment and right now he's sleeping so we'll see how nap time goes. I won't be going anywhere for the next 3 days so wish us luck!

We headed down to Long Beach last weekend so the boys, Joe, John, Brian and Matt could help Tim build a shed that he's been talking about forever. It was our Christmas present to Joe's dad and it went remarkably well. We stayed with Brian & Heather & the kids had a blast.
