Happy New Year (or, in Tagalog, Manigong Bagong Taon!!)
We took Jason, Tyler and Dylan to the Children’s Discovery Museum for the Countdown to Noon and the Noon balloon drop then headed to Cindy’s house for a whole lot of Guitar Hero, food, and a couple of games of Buzz.
While waiting for the countdown to midnight, many fell asleep, one for a short while and two others for the rest of 2007!
At midnight, we all clinked champagne glasses and said “cheers!” to each other and to Dylan who was shockingly still awake and cheery and enthusiastically clinking his plastic sippy cup of apple juice against our glasses!
So the featured picture in this post is of Dylan helping the doll go pee pee on her potty. Clearly, he’s continued to have an interest in this.
Using the potty in the morning has become routine now as is the periodic sitting on the potty during the day. But until today, he hadn’t successfully pooped in it. At times, he’ll say “pee pee pee pee” in a distressed voice while passing gas and promptly removing himself from the potty. Then, when asked if he wanted to remain on the potty, he’d answer with a firm “NO”, so we’d slap a diaper back on him only to have him poop mere minutes later.
But this evening, we sat him on the potty after dinner (at his request) and, once he finished, we let him wander around sans diaper figuring there was no immediate threat of an accident. We both turned to do something else when we suddenly heard Dylan say “bye bye”. We turned back to him and saw him standing next to his potty waving and saying bye bye to his POO POO!
Well, we are just so pleased by the little guy! He did it all on his own, with no prompting or help from either of us!
Way to start the new year little D.!!!
