Potty Power!!

Well, I admit we were quite surprised when Will suddenly expressed interest in going potty AND actually went (both #1 and #2) when we put him on there.

For the past week he had been saying "Potty" to us and pointing at his diaper so we would put him on the toilet and he would go a little bit. Then five minutes later (after getting him down and putting a new diaper on him) he would "soil" that diaper.

So this weekend, when he pointed and said "potty" I decided to put him on the toilet and let him sit there for a bit. I even offered to give him some privacy by leaving and closing the door (which he enthusiastically agreed to).

The result: two successful poops on the potty and the enjoyment of Will's hilarity whilst on the potty... which I decided to video and share with you all.

Enjoy!

*Special thanks to our friend Eliana for introducing us to the phrase of Potty Power.

Bedtime

Last night after my second trip up the stairs to calm the kids down, I said to Lyla "If you keep crying you don't get to watch any shows tomorrow and you will go straight to bed time-out." She started crying harder and said "That makes my feelings saaaaad!"

Reasons To Get Out of Bed When You Should Be Sleeping

Lyla just called down from the top of the stairs:

"Mommy, my nails are getting a little bigger!"

But Mom....

We spent the holiday weekend at my(Katherine's) parents house, and on Friday night my mom spiced things up a little bit by making a turkey biryani for dinner. Although Lyla had eaten a similar dish earlier in the week, when she took the first bite of this one it came right back out into her lap as she yelled "It's not tasty!"

Dance Party

Grandpa (Katherine's dad) recorded a CD of songs for his grandchildren. It's a huge hit in our house and something Lyla and Will love to dance to.

(This one's my favorite.)
