Poop & Pink Eye

So we've been working on potty training for a few weeks now and things are going pretty good.  We've peed in countless Pull Ups, underwear on the floor and even in the potty!  Caileb still insists on telling us after the fact that he has to go potty, but we are making baby steps!  Today we get to spend some mommy & Caileb time together since he has pink eye & cannot go to daycare, and what does Caileb surprise mommy with!?  A POOP IN THE POTTY!!!  Looking back I don't ever think I've been excited about poop, except maybe the time he finally pooped after being constipated for a few days.  It's amazing how much I am concerned about poop that isn't my own now that I'm a mother!

To wrap this up I am so proud of my big boy!  He is growing up so quickly and I just wish I could capture every moment in a life like video that I could revisit.  It seems like just last month I was still on maternity leave and enjoying spending every day at home with our new blessing and his complete dependence on me, his cuddling, and coos.  Now I've got a toddler who is all BOY and nonstop.  There are toys EVERYWHERE in our home, and I have stepped on more match cars and balls than I can count.  I remember when I was in my early twenties I swore that if I ever had a boy he would not get the little toys that I would injure my foot on, and look what happened!  I've had more foot pains from little toys & cars, but I am quickly finding that ALL TOYS are a danger to mothers... tricycles to trip on, big fire trucks to stub a toe on, power wheels that roll over feet and anything else in the path, balls to slip on or be hit with.  But the honest truth is that I wouldn't trade any of it for the world.  I LOVE CAILEB and everything about him!  I love his boyness, his quirks and his personality.
