Look who wants to potty train!



Dean has recently become obsessed with sitting on the toilet! He wants to sit on it (changing potty seats every 30 seconds and dropping little bits of toilet paper into the bowl) every day for multiple long stretches. He also enjoys sitting on and playing with the training potty. He hasn't actually used either one yet, but he has peed on the floor next to the training potty many times.

Wouldn't it be amazing to have him out of diapers on the early side? I would be doing a major happy dance. I'll keep you posted. In the meantime, I anticipate many hours of puddle duty...

Halloween Parade

The boys and I went to Casa Gardner last night for their neighborhood's annual Halloween parade. It was a blast!



Clever Amber gave me the idea of "buying" the kids' candy from them, so when we returned home, they each got a toy. (Graham did get to keep 4 pieces of candy, since he's 4 years old.) Graham got a fabulous set of Zoomorphs, and Dean got Pirate Mr. Potato Head. We played with the booty until bedtime, and from the moment they woke up this morning, of course!

Zach will be carving pumpkins with the kids on real Halloween, and there will probably be some more trick-or-treating, too. Hooray for Halloween!
