no more diapers!

TA-DA!! Aidan is potty training!! He's been dry throughout the day for three days straight AND today he woke up from his nap totally dry!!! Aren't you all just so jealous? Sometimes I'm not sure who's being trained, me or him. At first I asked him every 30 minutes if he had to go and then he would go try. I'm getting a little less paranoid now and only insist that he go when he wakes up and when we leave the house. Other than that I've been trying to rely on his own cues. He loves the Spiderman underwear my mom bought for him.



Isn't he so cute?! Ignore the crazy lady in the photo.




Nathan has been having a great time playing with his facial hair. The beard went away, whittled away actually, to this glorious specimen of facial hair. I missed the handle-bar mustache that went down to his chin. It was awesome, let me tell you!



These were my gorgeous birthday flowers from mi madre. They were so beautiful and brought spring into my house for two weeks, which was a blessing in disguise because there was snow on my birthday and I'm so sick of winter!...but I digress..

And here is Camden showing us how to do his new green belt form. I'm not sure why he has his shirt off but I think it adds a little something to his concentration. And Aidan copying him?...he does that ALL THE TIME. Aidan is constantly asking me if he can hit and punch me "for pretend." And anything becomes an object to do a side block on. A book, a card, a banana...you name it and he wants to karate-chop it. good times.

Yay for potty training! I'm trying really hard to get Nicole potty trained before this baby comes. I have actually had a few days with ZERO diapers! Since I'm about to start all over, I thought I'd enjoy a few days diaper free.

Yikes on the facial hair! I've never seen Nate's hair so long either. With that mustache he needs a leisure suit or something.

Sorry Chester-The-Molester, I'm going to have to go with a big, fat NO on the facial hair. But don't worry. It's not just you, that rule applies to EVERY MAN!!!
