So, E has not miraculously turned into a toilet using toddler, but...he is eager to use the toilet/potty chair. A big upside is that - instead of being diaperless most the day, sitting on the potty chair most the day, randomly sitting, not potty-ing, etc - E actually told me he had to go "boop" (mind you, this includes potty) and so I put him on the toilet. Amazingly he MADE himself go - not just it happened, but he actually sat there for a while and made himself go (with intentional effort). This is most definately a good sign. Not to mention, he did it again today. I am VERY excited. Diaper free might not be too far off.
This has been a really crazy weekend. Thursday J got a call from a breeder he had been speaking to 3 or 4 months ago. We were going to go look at a puppy of his (with no real intention of buying) back then, but when we called the breeder said he just sold the last female 2 hours previously. Then on thursday he called to tell J that a buyer backed out last minute and J has first chance at getting her, so Friday we went to see her. She was discounted for us (and b/c she is older now, I think) and much more affordable - and so we brought her home, and her name is Sugar. Sug (shoog) for short. She is very sweet and calm, and listens really well. She is a yellow lab, and for all of you who have read the book or watched the movie - yes, we bought the "clearance puppy"! And actually we stopped at Blockbuster to return some movies and a big Marley & Me poster was in the window and M said :"Is that a picture of Sugar?" - I hope not! Saturday was the last 50 cen...
