D's a Big Boy Now!

My goodness they grow up quickly. Diego is two months away from his 2nd birthday and is starting to act more like a "big boy" all of a sudden. Just before Christmas he started showing a lot of interest in his potty.. we've had it sitting out for months. We started taking him with us when we went and he'd sit as we read to him. Once he had a few successes I went out and got him some Go, Diego, Go! Easy-Ups and made him a sticker "chart". Cali was so excited for all this and is a great supporter, she always wants to pick out his sticker and give it to him. So far he's doing great when we keep him naked from the waist down, he will run straight to the potty and go when he needs to. Next phase is just getting him to not go when he has undies and/or his Pull-Ups on. Oh and here's the really fun part. He learned in less than a week that the potty is a GREAT excuse to get out of or avoid going to bed. So we've been having lots of fun sitting for up to an hour before bed to see if he really needs to go or listening to him cry and cry from his bed wondering if he really needs out or is just messing with us. Usually its some of both.

On another note he also stopped wanting to sit in our laps in the glider-rocker for bedtime stories. He was sitting on the windowsill instead so we figured it was time to move the chair and create a cozy reading nook instead. Dave installed his Ikea star light and Cali donated her pink couch. He's happy with it but we'll have to work on the idea of sitting still now.
Of course they were sitting so nice and still and cute before I got the camera but you get the idea.
