Milestones

So the first thing I'd like to say... and it's prematurely I know... but Evan requested to use the potty this morning. Now if you don't know, most boys potty train around 2.5-3yrs and it can take a long time. Evan has had NO interest in potty training.... except when boys at daycare were trying. Then the only boy Evan's age moved away and took Evan's interest in potty training.

For Evan's birthday, he received a book from my aunt and uncle about 'Zack's Potty'. And for the past 2 weeks, it's become a daily routine to read the book (per Evan's request). And Evan gets excited when Zack is successful in using his potty. So this morning, as I was half asleep, when Evan asked me to use the potty because "poop is coming".... I jumped out of bed as fast I could and we raced to the bathroom. Nothing happened except the idea that Evan may be too big for his Diego potty. And the other amazing tidbit of the morning is that Evan requested a pull-up to wear today.

This is amazing b/c Evan would scream, run away and cry at the idea of the potty or a pull up... I'd like to thank his friend Chris. Chris uses the potty and yesterday's adventures at the Children's museum reinforced the idea that Chris is a big boy and Evan wants to be a big boy!! Another milestones in my eyes is Haley's alertness. She is 9 weeks old now and sleeping 4-5 hrs at night. AND she's starting to coo and "talk". It's very cute and amazing to know that's she's healthy and getting big. Monday's doctor appointment had Haley at 8lbs 12oz and 21inches in length. She's only in 10th percentile for her age, but since she was 5lbs 9 weeks ago, we are all very happy!!

Today's adventures will take us to Dan's work and Haley can be introduced to the 'City of Groton'... although I think she already met the mayor when he came to our house to campaign... and we'll also pick up a beach pass... YEAH... the grill opens this weekend and then our summer can begin...cheap yummy food with a beautiful atmosphere to eat at the beach. Great place to take Evan for dinner on nights Dan isn't around...
