We're behind on blog posts. So, to tide you over, please enjoy this video from my second day with the big boy underpants. Just a reminder, if you're viewing this on the email update you'll need to come to the blog to view the video.
This is our favorite outfit ever, by the way.

Today is Wednesday.
I thought of another funny thing I did lately. Last night mama and I were getting me ready for bed, and I headed off into mama's room to get the little stepstool that I had left in there. It lives beside my bed, but every morning I take it into mama and daddy's room to climb up into their bed to watch cartoons.
Anyway, I went into mama's room to get my stepstool and saw her new shoes. They are brown and they have heels on them and mama wore them yesterday with a skirt suit. I grabbed my stool and grabbed those shoes and trotted back into my bedroom where mama was waiting.
I put everything down and announced...
Ian wear pretty shoes!
Mama thought it was funny and let me prance around a bit.
-----------------------------------
Potty update. I have been doing really really well with pee pee in the potty. No pee pee accidents today! However. I had the big P this afternoon right before mama came home. It wasn't in the potty and it wasn't pretty. Poor daddy.
-----------------------------------
Lately I've been liking peanut butter and honey sandwiches. I mean really liking them. I mean inhaling them.
Daddy made a peanut butter and honey sandwich for me today for lunch.
At dinner time daddy asked me to tell mama what I had for lunch.
Honey and peanut butter sandwich! (because the most important ingredient must come first in all cases)
Mama asked if daddy made a good sandwich. I told her, no, you make good sandwich!
I'm no fool.

Progress and some funny stuff
Tuesday was another good day with no accidents. Today is shaping up pretty well too, though I haven't done the big P in several days. This morning I went and got daddy when I had to potty. And then later I was having fun playing while yamma was at our house when I had to potty again. Instead of interrupting, I decided to take care of business myself. I went into the bathroom, pulled down my pants and went pee pee! That made everybody very excited, even though daddy had to do some mopping up after me. :)
Yep, this is turning into a bathroom blog. Carson's was like that for a while too, while he was learning. But have patience; soon this will be old hat and we'll be back to talking about the funny stuff I did.
Like this!
I'm still thinking about that whole "when I was inside mama's belly button" thing a lot. I bring it up to her almost every day. Last night I was talking about being inside mama's belly and she said when I was inside her belly, her belly was really big. I lifted up my shirt and showed her my big belly. She asked what was in my belly and I said dinner. Then I said I should be in her belly again and laid down on her tummy. She asked me what I would do if I were in her tummy.
....um...prob'ly bite you!
When getting into bed last night I wanted some milk, like Sam gets in my favorite night time book. Mama went downstairs to get it and she took a minute and I picked out my books and climbed in bed and put my books out for her. I finally heard her coming up the stairs. When she turned and came into my room I shouted out...MILK - coming through!

Promises
I want a new train for my train set. Thomas' friend Henry. I asked mama this morning and she said that when I have one week with no accidents on the floor or in my pants then I can go pick out a new train. I just wanted to record that so they wouldn't forget. See you next week, Henry!
Yowza!
Potty learning was slow at first, but by George I think I've got it! Phase 1 at least. The first several days I had accidents - learning to hold the pee was the easy part. Figuring out how to let it go once on the potty took some time. I would hold it so long I would end up bursting - all over my underpants and the floor.
Yesterday morning I didn't have any accidents but we still had to coax the potty out of me. I had to sit there on that cold hard potty chair for so long my bottom turned red. After my nap yesterday I woke up with a dry diaper but didn't make it on the potty at all. I kept tinkling on the floor just minutes after mama had me sitting on the potty chair.
This morning was a completely different story. I got up (with a mostly dry diaper) and mama took me to the potty straight off. I sat down and let 'er rip. Yay! We had a little potty party with singing and dancing and clapping. I was so proud. I had a poopy accident a little later but that doesn't count yet. Then mama and I went to the grocery store and they told me I had to potty first. So I sat down and went potty right away. Did it again after coming back from the store. And then again before nap. Woke up from nap with a dry diaper and went potty on the chair. And a couple more times, once before bath and again after bath. I rule the bathroom, suckas!
Oh I had one little accident this afternoon but I was playing my new Leapfrog computer game and was completely engrossed. I caught it after just a little potty came out. Then I called mama and finished up on the potty. Yay me!

potties, underpants and a poopy toot.
I've really been dragging my feet on the whole potty thing. I like my diapers and that's that. But mama and daddy decided to put an end to it this week. We've been reading the potty books and practicing sitting on the potty and all that. But I was really resisting the change. As I said, I like my diapers.
Yesterday morning mama had me pantsless so I wouldn't depend on my diapers. And we (I) sat on the potty a lot. I was very proud though. I pottied in my potty chair five times! I only had one accident on the floor. The first time I made the potty in there, mama got so excited and clapped - and I clapped too! Daddy wasn't home so we sent him a message on his cell phone. Mama said I'm a big boy now. The second time mama was excited again and I said Mama I did it! After that I kept telling mama and daddy I'm a big boy.
Last night didn't go well because when I woke up from my nap my tummy hurt and I didn't feel good. Mama tried to have me sit on the potty but I threw up and she said I could have a potty reprieve for the night. I ate a little dinner and had some juice then threw up again. I wanted to go to bed early and nobody tried to talk me out of it. After I got upstairs and in bed mama asked me how my tummy felt and I told her it was all better.
This morning my tummy still felt all better and so I had potty time again. Mama was so happy and excited when I pottied in the potty chair and said it was time for big boy underpants. We went to the Target store and I saw the underpants and was so proud and picked out the ones I wanted. I got some Thomas Train underpants and some Cars underpants and some Sesame Street Elmo ones.
Then mama wanted to go pay for them and leave but I wanted to look around. I found myself at a play kitchen and played there for ten or fifteen minutes.
We got home and all of a sudden I wasn't so sure that I wanted to wear those underpants but daddy insisted. I picked the Thomas ones to wear. They were actually pretty cool and more comfortable than diapers.
Playing with my Thomas Train set, wearing my Thomas Train underpants. It's a match made on the Island of Sodor!
By nap time I was ready to be done with the underpants. I sat on the potty one last time and didn't make a potty, just a poopy toot. But I think I'll be ready to the underpants on after nap. Mama showed me my basket of diapers and said that these are the last of them. When I use those up we're all done with diapers. I understand. I don't like change but I think this will work out OK.
