hey out there. how's it going? it's late here. and i'm up. i was going to do some work tonight, but the site is down and alas, i cannot. so here i am talking to you fine people. i was going to tell y'all about a fun saturday we had this past weekend. there was no wedding and so we went to red robin for dinner with josh and joy and listen to this... back in portland while we were in college, jake worked at red robin. he had a manager there named aaron. he was so great and after jake quit working there he was always so kind to us and occasionally gave us discounts or free drinks or whatever :) anyway, we heard a couple weeks ago from a server we are friends with on facebook that aaron moved to charlotte! say what??! we went to the red robin on saturday that we always go to and that is the only close one to us and who is there when we walk in the door? AARON! yes, i tell the truth. it was so nice to see him and he was so friendly and it was just really nice seeing a familiar face in still, a new city. anyway, i still smile about it because i think it's hilarious that we all moved here! and jake and i still, just might, keep getting the red robin hook up... it's gotta be a record for years-past-working-still-getting-discounts-even- across-the-country or something. after dinner we went to THE BEST SNO CONE PLACE EVER. i do not exaggerate. it's called pelican sno balls! and they have these cream flavors that are ah-mazing. it's a pretty cool location and they have some corn hole set up and finley has indeed thrown many bean bags over the hill. whoops, sorry, pelican's. anyway, it's always a treat to go there. the kids get all red faced, sweaty, and sticky and it's just so summer. love it.
YOU GUYS will not believe this potty update................. yes, keep reading............
finley, like, just goes. a few days ago i asked if he wanted to go potty, he said no. then i said, "when are you gonna potty train?" he said, "potty train!" and he always calls his potty the potty train, so i guess it being a train made all the difference! anyway, he sat down right away and pottied (is that a verb?). today he wore underwear all day with no accidents! he even went in the marshall's restroom while we were returning something. we haven't tackled poo at all yet, and he's still sleeping in diapers at night, but i am beyond encouraged. and so thankful it seems to be really natural. he was/is ready and i know it won't be long till we are a one child diaper house. holla! i thought you guys would be as excited as me. especially, meema!
well, it's later now. sure hope life is alright with you.
with love.

That's so great that you saw someone familiar at Red Robin and I, too, am excited to have only one kid in diapers! Blake is starting to potty train now. YAY for less diapers!!
ReplyDeleteYeah for potty training! Willow had a very similar experience when she was trying to teach Hudson to write letters. She tried and tried and nothing would work. She was getting really frustrated because the two older girls were so much easier. And then one day, for some reason, she told Hudson his pencil was a car and the letters he was tracing were the track for the car. And it took! So remember this "potty train" for future boy-learning moments! :)
