Potty Training

Had a fabulously busy week! Could not have made it through without my amazing BFF. Thanks, Hunny!

We have bordered the potty training train and it is a bumpy ride full of ups and downs. It's sometimes a little scary, like today when I heard the potty singing in the living room from the kitchen at my sister's house and went to wipe a bum, not only did I find poop in the potty but everywhere around it too and my sister's dog trying to eat it.

But it's really exciting for all of us and Giovanni is doing really well (as long as he is not wearing any pants.) Yesterday we read Once Upon a Potty and Giovanni loved it. He had me read the part of the accident over and over and then skip to the part where he gets it in the potty and we "oohed" and "awed" over that again and again. Some days are better than others but I feel optimistic. :)

We got a ton of whipping cream today so I made butter. I want to make pancakes in the morning so I can put bananas and whipping cream on top. I gave a bunch to my neighbor who will be making ice cream and who just told me some exciting news, she's expecting.

Giovanni's Daddy put him to bed for the first (intentional) time tonight! Yay! I'm not sure how or when I can get Giovanni to sleep in his own bed. My friend says she still has trouble with her attached 16 year old son.
