Guess what!!

(*warning: Poop Talk ahead*) Someone did poop on the potty today. It wasn't me, and it wasn't Mary (well maybe her too, she didn't really tell me)... it was Mike!!! I about died. We knew he had to go, so I sat him on the toilet, thinking we would just sit there for a bit and then he'd go in a Pull Up, but no, all of a sudden I hear "Plop!" (do you love it? I'm sorry if I am offending anyone's delicate sensibilities but darn it, I'm excited!!) and he did all his poops in the potty. I tried not to totally freak out and start hollering because I didn't want to scare him but I was so so so so proud of him!! And he was really proud of himself, too. He had this smug little grin on his face the entire time.


He went bowling today with his new school... Mary said he had a great time and really did well! I'm foreseeing a new winter pasttime maybe?

In other great news, he used his voice a little bit to say "Spi" for spin and he said "Hot d-d-d" for hot dogs! When I was spinning him on the pogo stick, he kept signing for water because that's his new favorite sign, ha ha, but I asked him "Do you want water?" and he shook his head No and says, "Spi!" It was fantastic.

For all who are concerned about progress on his Picture Calendar... I am uploading the photos right now and am going to make the calendar this weekend :) I am very excited about it! Also, Mary is going to order a special mouse for him so we can start playing on the computer!
