Closing Out January 2010

Ian has been a potty training machine!  Daycare requested the we start him in underwear this week.  He gave me a fit this morning.  He did not want to wear them.  I did not fight him on this.  I just packed up the underwear and took them to daycare.  This was not a fight I wanted first thing on a Monday morning.  His teachers were able to convince him to wear them.  From the written report, it looks as if he did well all day with them.  He does well here with going to the potty, too, but if I can get him to go to the potty at home like he does at daycare, all will be good! 

This past weekend we helped some friends get packed up to move back to Savannah.  One of the things they did not have room for was a Barbie jeep my mother gave my niece when she was Ian's age.  So amongst other items we are lodging for the time being, we have the Jeep.  Catherine has grown out of it now, she is 9 years old, but Ian fits quite nicely in it.  Yes, it is pink.  Yes, it has Barbie all over it.  Ian does not care.  We were quite surprised at how well it works after 6 years. Mark says we can just go get some paint/dye and make it camo! This is the most fun he has had in a really long time!

Here is a quick video of the excitement.


Here are some picks of the pink Barbie Jeep and Ian!
