{a very bloggable event...}

today was a MONUMENTAL day at the peterson house.
for weeks now tate has been telling me he had a "pup" after the fact. (poop, for those who don't speak tatineese)
sometimes even taking the iniutive to take off his diaper, again, after the fact. well folks(drum roll please!!!)
we have broken new ground...
today tatie took his first "pup" in his big boy potty!

(sorry i tried to screen the feces as much as possible)
here is tate looking on to a job well done.
now i do realize we still have much of an uphill battle ahead, but we have taken
the first steps and i couldn't be prouder! my goal is to have it done by the time the baby comes...
i guess we will have to wait and see.



the sweet taste of victory!
just think tate, you could possibly enjoy the melt-in-your-mouth, savory taste of a sucker 3-5 times a day!
(or 27-30 times if you are a prego)

Woo hoo, Tate! I love the moment of reflection pictures at the end. What a sweet taste of victory for all parties. I hope you treated yourself to a sucker as well.

PS I think it's Dirty Kenny's turn to host. We'll be standing by...

Yeah! He is too cute. I just realized I have never seen your place, but it looks like a cute neighborhood from the pics. Where is the invite, lady?

Susan said...

haha....so funny! but that's nice that you can start seeing the light at the end of the tunnel for one baby! Now for the next one!I agree..are you guys finally living in that place that you had bought while ken was working at pinnacle that was pre-construction?? It's super cute!

That's awesome, Tate's way ahead of the game. At least at our house, Savy is almost 2 1/2 and has NO interest whatsoever in potty training, we're trying though!

Jana said...

Go Tate! Pups and suckers...what a good day.

jodi said...

Congratulations- this is usually more monumental for the mom than the child! It will be so nice just having one in diapers when the baby comes!
