Potty Success!

We've been working on potty training since the first of January. We have a great movie with a song and lots of little kids learning to use the potty that Daniel loves to watch. It's called "Once Upon a Potty For Him".

This past week Daniel has been telling us when he went in his diaper. On Thursday he finally sat down long enough on his potty to relax and go potty!!!! An hour later he went again. I was over the moon, but he seemed to think it wasn't such a big deal. Almost as if he was saying, "Geez Mom, this isn't so hard. I can do it whenever I want." :) So we'll keep working on it and hopefully he will start going all by himself in a few weeks. Yeah!!!

Christmas and Wintertime Fun

Daniel helped make Christmas cookies. He really liked licking the spoon!


Christmas Day- His present from Mommy and Daddy


As first-time parents, we were introduced to the term "Some Assembly Required". Fortunately, Daniel liked helping us put it all together and even played with all the parts as we sorted through them.


An hour and a half later, we finally had it all together on Christmas morning. Daniel loves playing with his kitchen.

On New Year's Eve Day we awoke to perfect snowman-making snow! So after breakfast we bundled up and headed out to make our first snowman and clean up the driveway. Daniel loves to pretend he's driving the snowblower everyday because it sits in the garage waiting for its next use. So, he was very excited to see it actually being used today.






Eating breakfast-He picks up his bowl at the end and drinks the milk out of it.



It's a crab! No, it's just Daniel showing off how he can put Mommy's gloves on his hands all by himself.



A recent sunny day, Rocky was sunbathing in the back room and Daniel jumped up to sit next to him. Rocky was probably glad when he didn't have to share the sun with anyone anymore.
