BIG NEWS

Boy oh Boy, do we have some big news.  I have been in semi-potty training mode, just asking Daniel if he wanted to try to go & if successful he got a tootsie roll or gummy worm.  He was still in diapers full time & refused to poop in the potty.  I just didn't feel like pushing him or pressuring him.


Well, like someone flipped a light switch, yesterday Daniel pooped in the potty for the first time!  He went pee 5-6 other times throughout the day & kept his diaper dry.  He also peed standing up 2 times...I'm no expert at peeing standing up so I'm doing the best I can teaching him :)


So. today after dropping Rachael at preschool, Daniel & I made a special trip to Target to pick out some "big boy underpants."  He picked a pack of Mickey Mouse briefs & cars boxer briefs.  Below are some pics of the proud boy....
 Doing a little gymnastics in his new underpants...so happy!
 Showing off his muscles & his Mickey Underpants!
His favorites, his car & truck boxer briefs.  What a big boy!

So, we also bought some pull-ups since I know we're not FULLY trained.  We decided to go to Perkins for dinner to celebrate how great he has been doing.  While waiting for the food, he told me he had to go, so we rushed into the restroom.  Keep in mind, he's never gone in a public restroom, and not on such a BIG toilet.  But, he went, no problem, and was dry when we got home!

Also, Rachael is doing great at school & brought snack in yesterday & was line leader.  She talked about a boy named Jack, who always gets picked last for everything.  So, she decided that when it was time for her to pick the line, she was going to pick Jack first!  She came home so proud because she saw how happy Jack was.  I am so proud of the big heart she has.  

One final piece of big news!  I've had two interviews this week.  One with a very small office for part time morning hours M-F & One with a great Store, Hot Mama, in their Corporate Office.  I have a second interview with Hot Mama on Tuesday....that one I'm most excited about, but we'll see!!!
