So I'm doing something pretty much unheard of for me: posting two days in a row. The kids are being good, my house is clean, and I have something relatively exciting (for me, anyway) to report. Dottie has finished her course in potty training: she wore her panties to bed for the first time last night. Now to those of you without kids, this may not seem that exciting, but believe me, it's a landmark in her young life. Potty training during the day is quite different from potty training at night. She was afraid of me not taking her to the potty when she had to go at night. Well, we had a little heart-to-heart yesterday, and I convinced her that I would take her to the potty, no matter what. When I put her in her jammies, she told me she didn't want to wear her diaper anymore: she was ready to wear the panties. So here is a photo of her this morning, after a night of being diaper-free.
Elliots big accomplishment for the day was holding a rattle. It's the first time we've tried, and he loved it. He cried when he dropped it. Right now, it's no longer in his hand, but around his wrist, but he is as happy as a clam shaking his little toy.
