Miles was quite excited about potty training, especially given that it meant he got to pick out big boy underwear. I wasn't planning on trying to work on this before Jack arrived, but he is currently the youngest in his class at school and was desperate to try to catch up with some of his older friends. The purchase of Buzz Lightyear and Diego underwear, his teachers at YCA (they deserve all the credit), and some sheer bribery (video rental and gummy bears) = a pretty painless process. After a week or so of hit or miss, he's pretty much out of diapers. Just in time for Jack to arrive. In the third photo, he's attempting to flex his muscles. Kenneth, if you are reading this, I seem to remember a similar photo of you from back in 1984. Incidentally, when he first started, his teachers at school were asking me why he kept trying to put his underwear on this head. I think the first photo explains it all.

Great work Miles! So cute!!
ReplyDeleteI love the blog idea - can't wait to see more pics and read more stories!
I kind of hate you for having a painless PT process. That is all.
ReplyDeleteWe really cannot take any credit at all. Full credit to Miles' teachers at school. We just came up with the supplemental bribery!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see some of these photos at Miles rehersal dinner one day...
