May 4th...
Nice day today! We had lunch at Steak N' Shake (because IHOP had a 30 minute wait, and with 2 little boys that close to nap time...NOT HAPPENING!) Some friends are heading home for a few weeks, so we had a goodbye lunch! Then we braved the waters (HA!) and took Averi to Nashville to get her helmet adjusted. She must have gone through a growth spurt right after we got it home the first time, because the Dr. had to actually shave some of the inside layers down, it was so tight! She is much more comfortable now and not near as sweaty as she was before. I am very pleased. Cael spent a lot of time in the yard today picking flowers. He brought his first one to me and said "Momma" and then got himself another and said "Mine"
I never thought getting an ugly little weed would make me want to cry, but he is just getting so big! He spent the entire evening camped in the grass in the backyard picking flowers one by one and popping their heads off...he is still a boy after all!
BUT...the BEST news of the night??? Cael went potty in the toilet! I am so insanely proud of him I don't even have words. We were getting ready for his bath and after I took his diaper off he said "Pee!" so we ran to the bathroom and he wanted on the big toilet (I bought him a potty seat for the big toilet and he was afraid to sit on it for a long time) I put him up there and he sat there and talked to me for a few minutes, drank his sippy cup of milk (kinda gross to have that in the bathroom, i know...but I wanted him to pee! I wasn't taking anything from him!) and sure enough, a few seconds later I looked at him and said "Cael, did you just potty?" and he just smiled at me! I was literally dancing in the bathroom! He was excited to, he got an M&M and he got to use his Buzz and Woody big boy toilet paper wipes!!!
I can't even describe how proud I am of him! The first hurdle is over, now lets see how easy the rest of this goes :)
