Trey went #2 on the potty! It was a BIG day in our house. The older boys were so good about praising him and high fives happened all around. We made the call the Nana and Papa and Trey told them the good news. He was most excited to get candy and a new Hot Wheels car. He’s had many successes now on the potty and he’s pantsless this morning so we’re hoping that’ll inspire as well. Could backfire on us, we’ll just have to wait and see.

I never would have thought I’d be writing a blog about the toilet, seriously, it’s just not polite conversation but as a parent it’s big news. If we could get Trey out of diapers I would be one happy mama.

Nana and Papa came over last night and brought Nana’s amazing chili. It was so good, everytime they bring a meal it takes me back to childhood and I have such fond memories and had some delicious food. Dad did the BBQing, Broccoli Beef and omelets and Mom did the rest.

Nana also brought Halloween cookies for the boys to decorate and they did a lovely job. Carlos just ate the gumdrops off the top of his, Trey ate the gumdrops before he even got a cookie and Levi meticulously decorated the cookie and carefully ate it. We watched our family slide show DVD from when the boys were babies and the boys played with their new “Diesel 10 aka Pinchy” train cars. Trey had a bit of a fit when it was time to put Pinchy (and himself) to bed.
