Grown up Two Year-Old

We were cleaning up before bed tonight and we looked over at Connor who had his arms curved out like he was hugging someone and we hear him say:

"Hold me, Connor!"
"I can't hold me, I'm myself!"

We laughed for about 3 minutes straight.  He is a silly kid.
In other Connor news, this big boy is potty-trained!  I'd been thinking I needed to do it for a few months now, but hello, new baby, so I finally decided to do it a few weeks ago.  Having two kids in diapers is great motivation to get it done. :)  Jeremy had just finished classes and it was still a few weeks before our move, so I figured it was as good a time as any.  Connor's been interested in going on the toilet for a few months and has randomly done so, so it wasn't too hard to get him going.  After a couple days just staying home and him running around naked, he really got the hang of it.  We've finally conquered his phobia of going #2 (he would do it, it just took some pep-talking) and he is doing awesome!  He hasn't been in a diaper during awake time since we started, and within a week he was in underwear 24/7.  We've had a couple accidents here and there - all at home thankfully, but he's really doing amazingly well.  He's very proud of himself and loves to get up on the toilet by himself.  He then exclaims to everyone in the house "I went pee/poop in the toilet!" and demands high-fives from everyone.  Way to go Connor!!  We love you!

Way to go! I'll talk about the potty to Isaac all the time and put him on it before/after baths, but all he says is "NO!" or "No, thanks!" I'm not sure what to do. Also, how do you get them trained through the night? And what do you do when you are out on errands?? I'd like to not have 2 kids in diapers, and would love some tips! :) We still miss you guys!

Hey there girl! I have followed your cute blog and your family is so cute and you are such a good mama! I heard you have moved to Portland... Liz lives in Portland. You ought to call me and we can figure out if you live near her or not. She has three cute little boys and has loved Portland. They've only been there since March so they are still exploring all there is to offer there! Anyways, thought you'd like to know. Hope the move went well...what a big road trip that was I'm sure! If you ever in Boise let me know! Thanks!

Yay for the Pacific Northwest! I'm so glad you guys will be closer! My SIL is from Portland and LOVES it. I know you will too!

And HOORAY for potty training! It has been SO nice having Violet out of diapers, and she is not only so proud of herself when she goes, but she is very encouraging every time we go potty on the toilet too. ("Good job, Mommy!") I still let her run around bottomless at home because it has been so hot lately. And I love little nudie baby buns :)

Any plans to visit your folks any time soon? I would love to see your sweet little Anna. She is so precious!
