Splish, splash!  Wondering why I’m taking a bath?  Yes, I’ve started potty training with the New Year (my first day was January 1, since it was a long holiday weekend).  It can be kind of a messy proposition, which means lots of baths and laundry.  Mommy and Daddy decided to use the “Oh Crap, Potty Training” method, which meant I was pants-less for the first 48 hours, and commando after that.  I was actually surprisingly good at the whole thing, considering it was my first time out.  After one accident, I made it to the potty successfully the next twelve times!  The trickiest part is going to be navigating daycare, because they want me to wear a pull-up, and I’m wise to the fact that it’s a glorified diaper.

Speaking of daycare, I’m no longer crying at morning drop off (I had been pretty good about this until baby Lena came, and then I started getting weepy again).  Now I’m still a little hesitant in the mornings, but I warm up to my little friends after being there for a minute or two.  When Mommy and Daddy pick me up after school I tell them about my day and ask them about theirs.  Although my vocabulary is pretty advanced, I do have a couple adorable mispronunciations/malapropisms , which Mommy and Daddy can’t bring themselves to correct.  For example, I sometimes call the bean bag chair the “green bean,” I call the basketball hoop a “hula hoop,” and I call my marble tower a “marvel” tower.
