We didn't really intend to start toilet training until well in Year Two. Seriously, if diapers weren't so expensive and if pre-school didn't require it, I wouldn't give a hoot about when the kid becomes toilet trained, because there is something about wiping a butt on the toilet that seems grosser than wiping a butt on a changing table. Anyway, we'd kind of started talking about the potty just to get the idea in his head. Now he's starting to get insistent about wanting to sit on the potty. We had one sort-of success, in that he was on the potty and some poop came out, but, uh, it didn't land in the toilet (it was not very much, luckily). So yay for him being interested in the potty. Sigh for having to actually put thought and effort into this endeavor right now. Also, toddler butts are tiny and toilet seat holes are massive.

On the way upstairs this morning West was actually wrangling himself up on two feet using the bannister for balance, saying "ok self" at each step. OMG, this child cracks me up with his adorableness.

In technology news, I took the leap last night and ordered a pre-paid Virgin Mobile Android phone from Amazon. Once it shows up I'll activate it and get on their $35/month unlimited text & data (with 300 phone minutes), no contract plan. Technology I can afford!
