Jakob's Birthday Party, Part 1

Jakob wanted to invite his whole class to his party this year (how inclusive!), so we rented the field house of our gym to give them a big space to play in.  Only three of his classmates were unable to attend, so with four non-school families invited, we had nearly 30 kids in attendance.  It was chaotic but in a good way, and all the kids had a blast.  Jakob was so happy with it, which was our goal.

First Poop on the Potty!

I apologize that this whole post will qualify as TMI (and sorry, future Jakob, for the embarrassment it'll inevitably cause), but this is a big day in our house.  After I left for work today, Jakob went poop in his potty for the first time!  Dan noticed him straining and asked if he wanted to sit on the potty.  For the first time, Jakob said "uh huh," let Dan undress him, and sat on his potty until he was "all done."  He tried to flush it down about 10 times and was rather confused that it stayed in place, as opposed to what he sees the normal potty do, but he was VERY proud of himself nevertheless.  He said "Jakey did it" the whole way to daycare, and he even tried to go again when we got home.   We certainly don't expect this to be the new normal in our house, but we're very excited and proud of the little guy anyway.  Way to go Jakob on this big (although little, as you can see in the picture) milestone! A tiny deposit, but a big dea...

Jakob Potty Training Update

Our little man is a peeing pro these days.  It's been almost a month since we told him we ran out of diapers and he started wearing big boy underwear fulltime.  He loves nature peeing and will happily do it anywhere (backyard = good, middle of downtown Burlington = less good, but we're working on that), and he's getting better at using the potty when we're away from home.  Yesterday he used it while at the movies with Grandma and Grandpa Janelle!  He still needs his pullups for going #2, but with one exception at the very beginning he hasn't had any nighttime accidents.  Way to go, Jakob, literally!

Grandma and Grandpa Janelle (and, of course, Zoey!) came to visit us this weekend.  Jakob showed them how much he's improved his eating skills with finger foods, and he loved watching Zoey run around!
