Toilet Training

We had a very exciting weekend around here. I think Ethan is almost toilet trained, which is quite amazing since this is one of the first times we really tried to encourage him to use the potty. Yesterday I just happened to ask him if he wanted to go pee on the potty and he said yes. Then he went to the bathroom and actually went!! Since then he has gone (both #1 and #2) about 5-6 times. Tonight he started telling me when he had to go and then he would go and sit and actually go the bathroom (usually before this he would sit but nothing would happen!! So we will see what happens tommorrow but he did really well this weekend! We had such fun together tonight, he was so proud of himself!

As well, after doing the map of the world puzzle with Scott about twice, he can now do the 24 piece floor puzzle all by himself. He is a pretty amazing little guy!!! Hopefully this interest in the world puzzle won't translate into a hunger for travelling like his Grampy and Auntie Jen. I would rather he stay close to home (and me) forever!

Olivia is doing great, no sign of a return of the ear infection, so we are crossing our fingers. She actually crawled a little bit tonight on the kitchen floor. Her most favourite way of moving is still rolling around although she is quite interested in walking while holding into your hands. She is losing interest in baby food for the most part and her new favourtie food seems to be risotto. Although unlike her brother, she seems more willing to try new foods. She also liked the grapes she had today and the pasta she had last night. She is also continuing to "talk" a lot, she has such a sweet little voice.

Here is some pictures of Olivia and Ethan playing downstairs.
