Okay, there is probably going to be a lot of toilet talk from me since since we are in the middle of potty training. That said, I don't know if this is just a trait of the boys in my life or all boys do this. But, like his dad, William never fails to flush the toilet midstream ( he sits backwards on the toilet to pee pee). So, he flushes right in the middle of peeing and then chases the swirling water with the remainder. I do find it quite funny that he does this just like his dad--with no coaching. Do all boys like to chase the swirling water or is it just mine?

Oh, and be thankful this toilet talk was only about pee pee. I do have a greatly disgusting story about poo poo that I will refrain from sharing.

So much in a day

For Lauren, the new food of the week is bananas. She had her first taste of fruit today. I think she was less than jubilant as you can see by the expression on her face. Maybe she will be more excited with a vegetable.



Oh, that big brother is sooo... funny. William was popping package fillers and Lauren found it hilarious. She and her brother share a joy of loud popping sounds.

Lauren was having fun talking in her crib this morning. She is said, by her Neenee, to sound like her Uncle Greg when he was a baby.

Proud Moment

No pictures today--this is about poop. This is strictly to brag about my very BIG Boy. As most of you know William is heavily into potty training. He has been doing a pretty terrific job going pee pee in the potty; poo poo, on the other hand, has been a little difficult. Until yesterday, that is. William went twice yesterday--that's right twice, in the potty. The second time he went to the potty completely on his own. He made his announcement "poop, mommy" and away he went. He was so very proud of himself; his face was glowing . You could see the satisfaction all over his face and definitely hear the satisfaction in his voice when he shared his story with his grandparents. It is a proud moment for a mommy when your little ones make such huge accomplishments!!
