am I ready for this?

Last night Ethan pee peed on the potty without either of us even knowing. He was running around the house without any clothes on, and Steve and I were busy elsewhere. I realized it had been quiet for a while (usually not a good sign) and then Ethan streaked into the living room yelling "Ethan pee peed!" I totally expected to find a puddle somewhere when I asked him to show me where he pee peed. Steve mentioned that he heard a tinkling in the potty, and thought that he had gone by himself. I didn't believe it until Ethan marched into the bathroom and pointed to the toilet. Sure enough, he had gone into the dark bathroom and gone to the potty all by himself. And now today he wants to do it all by himself, with no help from mama. We went to the store and he got to pick out some big boy underwear. He picked out Thomas ones. And then he didn't want to try them on when we got home, go figure.

I'm not ready for this, I really enjoy the convenience of diapers. Trips to the store may never be the same. I will probably give it a shot sometime in the next couple of weeks though. It seems like he really enjoys his independence in this area :)

video overload

My dad got Ethan this floating shark. Took a ton of videos of Ethan playing with it, but if you don't watch them all, at least watch this one. And make sure you have your volume turned up, I was a ways away from Ethan.


I love how he looks up at the shark and asks "how ya doin?"

And here are the tons of videos of adorable shrieking and running around.

weekend in Chicago

This past weekend I got to visit 4 of my close friends in Chicago. Here we are celebrating Natalie's baby girl, due the end of March. (I stole the pic from Holly's blog)

It was a wonderful weekend celebrating an upcoming baby and another upcoming wedding. I had so much fun seeing them all again, and reconnecting with them. Can't wait to seeing them all again in June for the wedding :)

Wantimes

Ethan says the word valentines more like "wantimes". I got an ecard from my dad for valentines day, and Ethan loved watching it. He cried when I put the computer away, and asked to show it to daddy later on in the day :) Here he is boogying to the music of the ecard


abc's

Ethan LOVES singing the abc's. He also is obsessed with drawing on his chalkboard, wanting to do it hours on end. I found it on clearance for being a floor model, so I got a brand new easel that was already put together for a great price!! Love great deals like that.
