Lukey goes to the potty!

I don't have a picture of this of course, but Lukey used the potty for the first time last night!!
He had just had a PU (poo) and it was going to be bathtime soon so I didn't give him a new diaper.  He just ran around a little bit bare-butted and kind of looked like he wanted to pee.  I told him not to go on the floor and if he needed to go to let me know and he could sit down on the potty.  We then went upstairs for bathtime and he opened up his potty and said he had to go potty.  I asked if he wanted to use it and at first he said no.  But then I told him I'd give him some ice cream-pink and green and orange (rainbow sherbet) and he sat down.  At first it "didn't work" but then he did it!!!  Da came up in time to witness the event too and we all cheered.  Anna cheered really big!  We are so proud of him.  Da is going to buy him some ice cream today and we'll try to reserve it as a treat for using the potty. We've been trying to not let him eat sweets lately and we haven't bought sherbet for him for a long time now so it was a special treat for him for being a good boy.   He sleeps in a bed now and loves it and now he might (hopefully) be starting to use the potty...he's getting so big!!

Valentine's Day

This was Anna's first Valentine's Day.  We celebrated by making a fancy dinner and making chocolate covered strawberries and chocolate covered peeps.  Lukey had his first filet mignon.  He really liked it.

We haven't updated the blog in awhile because its kind of a boring time of year.  Not much is going on. Lukey had fun painting last week though.  He then started to look at the wall and say, "paint the wall?"  I didn't let him though.  He started gymnastics and is getting pretty good at it.  He still tries to run away from me a lot of the time to go do whatever he feels like doing instead of what he's supposed to do, but I think he's been improving a lot.  We're starting to look at preschool options for him for next year.

Anna will be 1 in less than a month!  She wanted to practice wearing her tutu so she's prepared for the occasion.
