Potty training prizes

William gets a prize for using the toilet for his business instead of his diaper.  He loved this little mask, but in typical frazzled family style, we lost it within 24 hours of purchase.  Bummer.

Edit: The mask has been FOUND!  (in Mimi's purse, of course)

Model parenting

Someone shat herself while we were at MimiPapa's (William's term for his grandparents' house), and outgrew the backup outfit in the diaper bag. I blame her...obviously. She blames me...also obviously.

Potty training rewards

We're working on the potty training with Big Dub, and it is progressing slowly. He gets a different reward for going in the toilet at each of his frequently-visited houses (ours, Ba/Om Noi (?), Mimi/Papa (M&Ms)). At our house he gets a SURPRISE which he has come to expect every time he goes #2 in the pot. At first, I had actual surprises, and when I ran out, I made things up, but last night William declared a pair of Eleanor's 9-month pajamas to be his surprise for a successful toilet sit. There wasn't any space left for his double diaper once he squeezed himself into the outfit, so he couldn't sleep in it.

ELvis

The bow and smocked dress PROVE that she is a girl, people.  Don't you know anything about baby fashion?

Temper tantrum

There's no telling what will cause a temper tantrum or riotous laughter. This tantrum went down at a restaurant when Mimi and Mama brushed away the pretend poop that William squeezed out of a rubber lizard that he perched on a menu. Drama.

What's Eleanor doing this week?

Wearing funny hats and figuring out what her tongue can do.

Dessert dreams

Superman (who thinks he's Spiderman) and Paige checked out desserts after dinner in Chinatown. Notice Paige's larger-than-usual rear? She's wearing one of Williams size 6 diapers!
