Ryan got a potty yesterday! Lately he's been telling us "poop!" right after he goes -- or sometimes he just grabs a new diaper from the diaper basket and lays down on the floor waiting to be changed (instead of running off and putting up a struggle like he used to). His daycare teacher also reported that he wanted to sit on the potty the other day. We weren't going to push potty training when he's barely 2 years old, but since he's been showing an interest, we thought we'd provide the "equipment" and let him decide when he's ready. We got him a bright red potty (his favorite color) and decorated it with Thomas stickers. He's already wanted to sit on it 3 times since we set it up last night.



Daddy and Ryan just left for Barnes & Noble (Ryan likes to play with the Thomas trains in the children's section). Ryan left the house wearing his firefighter's hat that he got at daycare yesterday.


(He's holding his stuffed "monster", which I think is Target's version of Ugly Dolls.)

Our little dairy monster -- he loves his milk and yogurt -- must be how he maintains those cheeks!
