He did it !!!

Yup, he did it! Nathan went pee pee in the potty tonight!! We just finished giving him a bath and he was running around a little. He went over to the potty and said "potty" and then sat down. He did this a few times before he actually sat down and went. It wasn't much but it counts!

I was talking to his one teacher the other morning and she mentioned that Nathan has been using the potty at school daily. I was like "Really?" because he hadn't used it at home yet and she said this was common because at school he sees his friends doing it and makes him want to do it too. I was so proud of my big boy!! She says he seems to have an interest in the potty so it's a good time to start potty training.

So she told me that what they normally do is ask that the parents start on the weekend having them in only underwear the whole entire day, other then at night of course. They prefer underwear over pull-ups as those are basically diapers and don't let the wetness go through them like underwear would and the only way he is going to learn is by feeling wet so here we go!

She said to pick a weekend that we don't plan on going anywhere because we are in for some messy days :\ I'm actually excited though. This is such a big step for my little guy and I can't believe how fast he's growing up.

Halloween n' such

So this is what Nathan ended up wearing for halloween. He was originally going to be a dinosaur but we tried his costume on the night before just to be certain and what do you know...he's grown! It doesn't fit anymore!! So friday morning off we go to wal-mart in Newmarket to find him a new costume. And of course they have nothing!! So at this point I called work to let them know that it was going to be a busy morning for us and that I would be in as soon as I found Nathan a costume. I was not letting him go to daycare without a costume, so we had to wait around until 9am when Value village opened up. We looked all through there and all we could find was this poor batman costume that looked so cheap and I really didn't want to put him in it, so then we decide to head to the mall. First we try Toys "R" us but they are all out so then to Zellers which is where we found this. Thank God!! I was starting to worry...

We went to 3 of our neighbour's. Nathan was pretty quiet through it all, not really sure of the whole thing. He would just stand there and stare as our neighbour's would put candy into his pumpkin like he had no idea what was going on. It was funny. TJ decided to wear the head piece of Nathan's dinosaur costume. lol

Here they are enjoying a piece of a kit kat while waiting for trick or treaters. This one kid came up near the beginning of the night with the mask from the movie scream on and Nathan started to get upset. After that he didn't really hang around the door too much. lol

Today we cleaned up the front yard and the boys had fun in the leaves.

Nathan was the bag packer. Whenever we needed to pack down the leaves we would have him come and jump in the bag. He loved it!
