Worth the Wait...

I got some adorable pictures of Emma today...

Sitting in her new Bumbo seat! If she'd take her eyes off of her big brother for just a second, maybe I could get some good pictures!

A little boy's dream come true! They chopped down one of our Maple trees because it was rotting from the inside out. What they left us with was a huge hole and a ton of dirt and woodchips. Bring out the monster trucks!

Potty training... quite possibly one of the most challenging parts of being a parent. He's doing really well. We don't push it when he doesn't want to sit on the potty, but we do quite a talented potty dance when he does! He's wearing pull ups all the time instead of big boy underpants. I've heard that doing that can cause some confusion for the kid because it feels just like a diaper. So far, that hasn't been the case. He tells us when he needs to "empty his tank" and has really only had a handful of accidents since Sunday. We're well on our way! I think the proud look on his face while we're dancing after he has peed in the potty is worth all of the worries about if this is the right time for him. It clearly is!
