I'm a Big Kid Now

Bottles to cups...check. Crib to big bed...check. Giving up paci...check. Diapers to big boy underwear...check. Gehrig's potty trained!

Daddy gets all the credit for working with him last week while on Spring Break. We've talked about it off and on since last summer and are so glad that we waited until now...it has been much easier than we anticipated because he is old enough to understand and communicate well and do most of it himself.

Now come the interesting trips to public restrooms while balancing a 6mo old on my hip and trying to keep everyone germ-free! Oh, and the long trips where the aforementioned 6mo old is finally sleeping and we must stop to go potty. And the calls at 2am that he needs to go peepee...can he stay in diapers at night forever? :) We'll figure it out and enjoy the small boost to the budget, all while mourning just a tad for our baby boy who is grown...

Way to go Gehrig! What a huge accomplishment! We worked with Anna Leigh on potty training last week, too, and we're almost there!
