What a Weekend!

We had a very fun-filled weekend (which unfortunately, makes the weekend pass by much too quickly)! Nolan pooped on the potty for the first time (he told me he needed to, and then headed that way). We went to Monkey Joe's for a birthday party:

Nolan's buddy, Tyler came for a visit & slumber party - and they played HARD!

So hard, that this morning I found Nolan like this...

The Clean-Up Song

Nolan loves Dora - he quickly picked up on the "Clean-Up" song, and it doesn't help that I've always just sang it at home because we used to sing it at La Petite when it was time to pick up. Well, last night Nolan was cleaning up so he could have his snack, & he was just moving about picking up quickly and singing to himself. Go figure when I get the camera he stopped singing on his own and then changed moods, too! Is it ever easy to get pictures/videos after age 1?!

Potty

I would like to start by saying we have not been working with Nolan on potty training at all. I still feel he's too young with not even being two & he's a boy! In my experience at La Petite for 5 years, I dealt with the 2's & 3's room frequently. It's just been the trend that boys have taken the longest to train. Nolan has been waking up in the morning dry for several months, and even remaining dry up until 10 minutes after being awake, to even not going at all until we make it to the babysitter's. With that said, on Wednesday night, Nolan kept telling us "Pee-Pee", well I checked his diaper and it was dry, but he wouldn't give up. Finally when he continued saying it and pointing down there, Brian took him back to the bathroom and put him in on our toliet. Sure enough, the moment he sat him down he began to pee! He was so excited (as were we)! I still figured I will not push this, but maybe when he says he wants to then I'll let him. Thursday he did the same thing a couple of times (we were off work) throughout the day. It was exciting, but very hard to believe at the same time. It's bittersweet - my little boy is growing up!

*P.S. He has seen a couple of the kids at Jen's working on potty training, so I'm assuming this is where his sudden inspiration came from!

Nice Weather = Slacking Off

...Sorry! Speaking of nice weather, we are definitely ready for Baseball Season. Nolan has been roaming around the house with his bat, ball, & Daddy's hats! On a different note, we have a funny story from last night - definitely one to log in our "Nolan Funny Files". One of Nolan's favorite shows is Little Bill (Little Bill Cosby cartoon). Last night, we turned on the Presidential Address, and Nolan's face completely lit up, he ran to the TV, looked at us, and said "Lil Bill!!!!" Wrong - yes; Laugh-worthy - definitely! So, we told him that it was Obama, and he then he started wondering the house shouting "Bama". After all, how can you not smile/laugh at this boy?!
