Poo Poo in the Potty!!!!

We have been struggling with potty training for some time now.  Gabriel will pee in the toilet but he never really did # 2 until Sunday.  Gabriel on a hike in the woods when the poop face appeared.  After some encouragement from daddy Gabriel squatted and pooped on the ground.  On Monday I showed Gabriel a toy he could have if he pooped on the toilet.  He said he wanted to try so I took him to the bathroom set him up with 2 books and left him.  After about 10min. he said he did it.  Sure enough sitting in the toilet was the long sought after pooie.  He said, " I heard the splash!"  Today I told Gabriel to pee before nap time and he said he wanted to poopie.  Well after a few pushes success again.  This may seem like nothing to most but we have been struggling with this for months now.  I really hope he has it time time.

Myrtle Beach

The boys had a great time at Myrtle Beach after a longggg car ride.  Gabriel and Simon continue their great friendship, sticking together like glue.  They also really enjoyed spending time with Grammy.

Mother's Day

Noah's Birthday

The big 02
Mom's digger cake.

Messy!
Gabriel helps open the presents.

Noah celebrated his 2nd birthday today.  It sounds so cliques but my baby is growing up soooo fast.  Noah can speak in full sentences, he is manipulative, he can say his alphabet and count to 10 and he's pure trouble :)
