Ben has officially used the toilet...twice! He is getting in the habit of telling us each time he has to (or just went to) the bathroom. Most of the time it is right after, but a few times it has been before and 2 times a success. He sort of just started this on his own, as opposed to us sitting down and deciding to potty train and making the commitment to take him to the toilet every hour or so. It is hard for me to believe that he is at the age to start potty training. I remember Joshy seeming so much older. By 2 1/2 he was potty trained and sleeping in a big boy bed and Ben just still seems too small for any of that. Perhaps I am just clutching tighter because he is my baby. For me personally, the first year feels like FOREVER but after they hit one, it just seems to fly by. You no longer have to choose between them and sleep and are not so mortally tired that it feels like a toss up. They walk. They have a personality. They say "brother hit me" right after they, in fact, hit brother. I love his hugs and how he buries his head in your shoulder. How he'll surprise me by answering a question of Diego's rescue pack that I wouldn't expect him to know. Can Diego use a zip line to get to cloud forest? "Yes." *head turn* How do you know zip line? "Wa wonder pets?" No Ben, mama is sick of Wonder Pets. "Wa wonder pets?" I am going to kill that caterpillar just so I don't have to see them save it. But children's programming aside, I suppose it is happening whether or not I am quite ready for it too. My baby boy is growing up. He is a big boy on the big boy potty and we all know that it's toilet today, Wall Street Journal delivery to his crib tomorrow.

That's a very good analysis of how it works. You might want to keep a note pad on some of the sayings they come up with. Then you all can have a nice laugh about it when they become teens.And when they do become teens you will all of a sudden become one of the dumbest people on the face of the earth.Ha-Ha
Love to all,
