Praise be to "Elmo's Potty Time"!

I was walking down the hall today when I saw Blake sitting on the potty. (He uses the big potty with a child insert, now, so he can be like Daddy.) He told me he was putting his poop in the hole in the potty. And he did! He took care of it all himself including the flushing!!! (Ok, I had to help with the wiping.) Thank you, Elmo! The video even teaches kids to wipe the sink out with a towel after they clean their hands. Trust me, I am not being paid to advertise, but the video is great! With songs like "Trying, trying again" and "Accidents Happen" and a hip-hop-accompanied stroll through a toilet paper factory, we couldn't go wrong!

Will, on the other hand, is having a much drearier day. He received his 6 months vaccinations last night. He has been sleeping them off all day and seems to be a little better now. He has been having a great time lately, though, sitting up and playing on the floor. He has a little car toy he can "drive" while he sits up. The exersaucer has also been a big hit. Tom unearthed it from the garage on Sunday.

It's a beautiful day here! Very hot!
