Forgot about the other thing we tackled this month...

Potty training! The super stubborn boy is officially out of diapers! Bye-bye diapers, it's been nice knowing ya!

Now I have to give his oh-so-patient teachers pretty much all of the credit because they really did all the hard work over the past couple of months. He had been staying mostly dry at school in pull-ups for a while now, but with all the craziness we just weren't ready to tackle getting him fully there. And of course whenever we did try getting him in a better routine of going at home, it would always backfire with tantrums and drama. He knew he could get away with it and we weren't ready to break it with all the traveling and routine changes over the past few months.

Finally his oh-so-patient teachers said they thought he was ready to go to underwear so we went cold-turkey. It's been really successful and he's been doing great. The only small problem is he refuses to go number 2 on the potty at home. We've tried bribing with everything we can think of, but no luck yet. I might beg his teachers to come home with us to see if they can convince him. Either that or I'm going to make Alex install one of those tiny toilets like they have at the school in our bathroom!
