The potty dance


This morning Amanda took Ben, Caleb and Molly to Costco so that Matthew and I could get down to the business of going on the "big boy potty." It took a while and quite a bit of Coke, Cheetos, and goldfish crackers, a cupcake and some Sourpatch Kids to get him to go on the potty. We went through about six pairs of underwear. But by Noon when the folks all got back, Matthew had peed on the potty three times and even dropped a deuce. (Sorry about all of the potty talk, but these are the things that get parents of a two-year-old excited.)He was very excited as you can see from his potty dance pictured above. This of course is only the beginning. We will have many months of wet pants from time to time, but it sure beats changing diapers all the time. Celebrate Matthew with us today! He's entered the world of the big boys.
