In case you didn't know, it's official. No pink in this house. I get to open up all those boxes of boy clothes and use them all over again come February because we're having another baby boy! I had convinced myself it would be a girl. I was experiencing things slightly different at the start of this pregnancy but I was also so set on wanting another boy I prepared myself for a girl. I had accepted that's what "it" would be and even had a name picked out. (I'm sad about the name. I'm not sharing but man it was perfect.) So when we saw the tell-tale pee-pee I was surprised. Leo was not. He was hoping for and I guess "knew" what the outcome would be. We would have been pleased either way, but of course it sure it easy to use what we've got!
Soon we will have a baby and a very grown up little boy. Today we are taking a stab at real potty training for the first time. It involves very little clothing, lots of juice and snacks and more patience than you can imagine. Leo and I have been watching with eagle eyes all morning and we both managed to miss a couple pees on the carpet. But he did #2 on the pot and later a really long #1 that he must have been holding and afraid to let go off all morning. He even did it standing up! Now it is nap time and the diaper is back on but only for a short time. We have a long afternoon ahead of us with more vigilant watching and waiting. I should probably go rest myself. This is only the start of a long weekend. But I'm already looking forward to our next few activities - lite brite, play doh and perhaps another go at Candy Land (he so does not get this but he seems to like to move the little men around and look at the colored cards. It keeps him busy anyway.) Wish us luck on our on-going adventure. I hope to report a successful weekend soon.
