Houston, the eagle has landed…

Hurray!

I’ve decided to “clean” up the wording in this post, so you’ll have to use your imagination to get the gist.

Taven finally decided to not drop a duce in his pants today!!! He didn’t roll the dice all day yesterday, so he was relatively eager to give it a go today before nap time, and we HAVE LIFT OFF! (or touch down/goal/score/splash down/etc).

This was a first splash down for this kid! (I liked that euphemism the best) After a week and a half of no pull-ups, we’re SUPER excited that he’s catching on & letting go at the right time. We’ll see if the idea sticks. We had a big fan-fare, he got to open up a new Matchbox car, got 2, count them, 1…2…, pieces of candy, and LOTS of cheers and hugs & praise from Daddy & Mommy for dropping off his load in the proper docking station.

We’ve already decided that when Bradey starts showing signs of interest or when we think he’s ready, we’re jumping straight from diapers to underwear, no more pull-ups for this family (Woo Hoo!!! We’re already saving about $40 a month from losing Taven’s pull-ups!!!)

We’ve only had a couple of wet nights, so we’re optimistic on that front too!

Ooh! We also went to play & swim at some friends’ house on Friday and both Taven & Bradey had fun actually jumping to us in the water for the first time. Bradey even enjoyed getting dunked a little bit (as part of his landing from a 6 foot vertical flight, hehe), but of course, Taven HATED getting his face in the water. He’s just not that big into getting water on his head in general.

Welp… That’s the update for the day.
