Potty Training?

So I posted a few back about how Caleb had used the potty. Well apparently, he quite likes the idea! Last night when we got home I took his coat off & sat him down. He promptly went into the bathroom, put his little toilet seat on the toilet & tried to take his pants off! I couldn't resist that! I helped him out, sat him up there & there he went again! Today I thought I'd give it a go again & he knows exactly what to do when I put him up there!! I'm so surprised because he's still so small (17 months today). I guess we'll keep encouraging him & see how it goes! Merry Christmas mom?!

Pink Glove Dance

You absolutely must take the time to watch this video.

Our daughter-in-law, Emily (MacInnes) Somers, created, directed and choreographed this in Portland last week for her Medline glove division as a fundraiser for breast cancer awareness. This was all her idea to help promote their new pink gloves. I don't know how she got so many employees, doctors and patients to participate, but it started to really catch on and they all had a lot of fun doing it. When the video gets 1 million hits, Medline will be making a huge contribution to the hospital, as well as offering free mammograms for the community. Please check it out. It's an easy and great way to donate to a wonderful cause, and who hasn't been touched by breast cancer? Ann Somers > > > > > > > > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OEdVfyt-mLw

Wow!

After dinner tonight I went into the bathroom to put Caleb into the bathtub. I have put him on the potty a time or two before (thanks to the inspiration of Rylee!). I didn't figure he'd do anything because he never has before. Much to my surprise (and delight!) he used the potty! I was really surprised, & actually, so was Caleb! I made a big deal out of it to him though & he thought that was great. Maybe he'll do it again soon??
