Last Wednesday was Damion's birthday and he had relaxing birthday by spending the night at home recovering from his minor eye surgery. Yup he spent his birthday weekend with Jeff and returned home hurt. This time was not as major as last year though. He was having eye irritation and light sensitivity. After getting yelled at by his general care doctor for not going to an er earlier, he got into an eye surgeon. After 30 minutes there he came out with his eye looking better than when he went in and said that the doctor removed a piece of rust that was embedded on his eye. Its a week later and he is doing better with the occasional headache and light sensitivity, which the doc said to expect for the next bit.

Moving forward to today, Anna spent the whole day, with the minor exception of nap/relaxing time, in training pants!!!! Don't think that's exciting? Guess I should mention that she did this without having a single accident and that even includes her wearing them around town for two hours while we ran errands. See, told you it was pretty spectacular, well at least for this household.

My parenting tip to the first day of success? A “potty timer”. Oh sure, to the common person it might look like a simple kitchen timer but in this house this timer magically goes off when Anna has to go potty. Pretty remarkable timer they sell at Target, eh?!?!

A nice side effect is that Jack is showing some interest in this whole potty thing. Now granted this morning his interest was more so in unrolling the toilet paper around the living room, BUT this evening he too decided to use the little potty. Much cheering commenced after his success.

So, here's to hoping that tomorrow is just as good as today.
