Potty training- it's about the little successes....

Okay, so I know its been WAY TO LONG since I've posted an update, but as usual things have been a little crazy. I have been meaning to post a bunch of pictures of Emery's trip to Cleveland, but I just haven't had the time! Thanks to Dad for putting some up...and I'll do my best to get some more up as well (hopefully before the holidays :) ). But I really wanted to post a quick update since we just hit a MONUMENTAL potty training cornerstone. Yep, he pooped in the potty! Last week I caught him on the verge while changing his diaper a couple of times and put him on the potty. He managed to get a pellet out each time. We celebrated his big boy success and made a huge deal with a cerimonial flushing of the blessed specimen. But today he did the full fledged thing! It was a real poop and he was very pleased with himself. Of course I still had to catch him in the act and rush him to the potty, but its a start at least! I've explained that if he let's us know that he has to poop he can poop in the big potty all of the time, but I think that's still a little far off. Still, its a sign that my little guy is growing up! I look at the time ticker at the top of the blog and I still can't believe that he's almost two! Well, that's not necessarily true, he's been acting like he's two for about 4 months now but still it's amazing how time flies by....
I will try to do some more short updates here and there, but for all of you who haven't heard, I have gone back to school so my time for anything but studying and kid time is extremely limited (my motto, you can never have too many degrees. And my second motto, if all else fails, go back to school. Words to live by...). I will do my best to keep things up to date, promise!
That's all for now! Cheers!
