Potty Time ?!

Nolan will only be 17 months is a few weeks, but has been showing signs that he is interested in potty training! Like, an interest in the bathroom habits of others! Whether it be with me & Nick, or the kids at Meme's, he's become quite curious. In fact, when I picked him up on Friday, Meme said "Hey Nolan, Do you have to go to the Potty?!" He quickly lost focus in his toys, shot up, picked up potty seat, put it on the toilet and climbed on up. I was so amazed!  

Check him out:

 He has also become aware of his bodily functions. It is no longer JUST happening, he KNOWS it's happening. My lil guy is also staying dryer longer, which illustrates bladder control.

I don't want to rush anything as I've heard that if your child is not ready to potty train it will not happen, or they will lose interest and the process becomes long, drawn out & frustrating. BUT I also have a girlfriend that potty trained her son at 18 months!

So here we go..... Wish us luck as we venture into this potty training thing. Maybe Nolan's New Car Potty Seat and Step Stool with be a plus!



Mr. Clean

I am guessing Nolan will not always enjoy his chores..... What a bummer!

Sushi

We were lucky to score a dinner date with my mom & Jeffrey when Nick was out of town last week. Dinner of choice: SUSHI !!!! Nolan put on quite the show for his Grandma & Uncle Jeff. He was full of giggles & thought eating via chopsticks was pretty fun !!!

Never Grow Up!

Nolan - I wish I could bottle you up and keep you this age forever and ever !!! Never Grow Up by Taylor Swift brought tears to my eyes thinking about you:

(If you've not heard it, d/n it !! GREAT song!)

Your little hands wrapped around my finger

And it's so quiet in the world tonight

Your little eyelids flutter 'cause you're dreaming

So I tuck you in, turn on your favorite night light

To you, everything's funny

You got nothing to regret

I'd give all I have, honey

If you could stay like that

Oh, darling, don't you ever grow up, don't you ever grow up

Just stay this little

Oh, darling, don't you ever grow up, don't you ever grow up

It could stay this simple

I won't let nobody hurt you

Won't let no one break your heart

No, no one will desert you

Just try to never grow up, never grow up

(Meme's Garden - Nolan, 16 mths. 8/14/2012)
