Potty

This morning we went to playgroup at Marissa’s house. It was a small playgroup today. I guess maybe people already left town for the weekend?

We had a nice time at playgroup. Marissa had one of those fish games where the fish open and close their mouths and you try to use the fishing pole to catch one. Evan really liked that. He got good at catching fish and was really proud each time he got one.

After playgroup, Grandmom/Marilyn, Noah, Evan, and I went to lunch at Panera. On the way there Yenis called and I invited them to join us. We all sat outside. Both boys ate well. Noah ate the whole time we were there. In fact, he was still eating stuff off the plate as we were leaving.

When we got home I put the boys down for nap. They slept really well.

For dinner we met Matt at Joe’s Crab Shack. We ate outside on picnic tables overlooking the lake. The waiters danced and the boys enjoyed all the music playing. Evan ate a ton of my crab. I spent most of my dinner cracking crab for him. Evan and Noah were so well behaved at dinner. They had a lot to entertain them.

After dinner, we came home and gave the boys baths. When Evan got out of the bath he sat on the potty. I read to him while he sat on the potty. At one point Morry walked by and Evan told Morry he was going to poop. We sort of thought, “oh, ok, yeah right.” Well, just a few minutes later Evan had pooped in the potty. The first time ever! We cheered and danced. Evan got a sticker.

When I went to put Evan in his pajamas he said he wanted to put on underwear. He was upset when we said no. We didn’t want him in bed without a diaper. I let him pick out underwear that he could wear tomorrow and that seemed to make him happy.

The boys are in bed and it seems quiet.
