We've started potty learning!!!

I guess it officially started on Monday. W. was home all day and wore his big boy underwear. He, of course, had a few accidents. On Tuesday he independently went to potty. He knew he needed to go and he did!! It's been unusually easy, however, we have yet to venture out so that will pose another challenge. Any tips or suggestions are appreciated!

I became an Aunt again yesterday! John and Meghan gave birth at the Atrim in Middletown. He weighed 6 pounds 9 ounces and was 20 inches long. He has a full head of dark hair. Todd and I won't get to see him until Sunday. I believe he is also nursing like a champ!!

Just photos today. No time for thoughts.

Jen and I at Shadowbox Cabaret at Easton.

The whole Nye Crew at Shadowbox. What a great time! Thanks Jen!!!!

On Christmas day W. is in his new play kitchen. I made a stove out of a cardboard box. He had a grand time opening the oven and putting the pots and pans in and taking them out.

Todd and W. opening his first Thomas the Train set from Uncle Ian and Cuzzy D.



Grandpa and W. at the Ramming Christmas celebration. Grandpa put together the LEGO ferris wheel for W. awhile ago. W. likes turning it on and changing the direction of the ride.

In East Liverpool, visiting John and Sherry.

Merry Christmas to all!!

W., Grampy and I went to McDonald's yesterday (it was W's first time!!) and he looked so cute eating his ice cream cone I just had to snap a photo.
Merry Christmas to all!!

Out and about in Groveport Ohio

I took W. to the Groveport Town Hall for a LEGO exhibit. This exhibit is FREE and runs until Dec. 30. They built an amazing LEGO town with gardens, crops of corn, a lake, a skyscraper, houses and much much more. There was a table with a million tiny LEGOs for the children to play with. I guess I didn't realize how tiny some of the regular LEGOs are. W. only has the larger size LEGOs. They also had an area where kids could play with Lincoln Logs. They displayed many items from the past; an apple cider press, corn husker and many old photographs. The most interesting item W. found to look at was the chamber pot. He kept wanting to take the lid on and off.

Today at Graeter's Indoor Play Area

We went to Whole Foods on Lane Ave. to get a few groceries. We left our house at 10:30 and W. fell asleep on the way there. I let him sleep in the carseat for about 45 minutes before I woke him up
