"Let the great experiment begin!" --Tobias Funke
We've officially begun potty training (pee training, really, as Sea Bass is already poo-trained) in a flurry of new (Thomas) train undies, bribery, stickers, a potty poster (which will receive aforementioned stickers), and a promise of delightful prizes to come to he who can remain dry sans-diaper. So far, so good; the diaper is on during sleepy-time, but he doesn't seem to mind showing off his new knickers during the rest of the day. I hope this works.
In other news about my spawn:
Beet Rice is eating solid foods. Finally. She resisted all the usual, standard, bland baby fare for whatever we eat: tonight it was mixed-veggie quinoa risotto w/yogurt. She ate seconds.
Random details for you about me:
I've been going to the YMCA 2-3 times/week to ...sigh...(how I abhor the following phrase for its cliche) 'work out'. I found out I don't hate jogging as much as I thought I did, especially when doing it to "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" soundtrack; it's incredibly humorous and po-mo to hear Tim Curry's vibrato trilling out "I Can Make You a Man" while watching the beefy weight lifters beside my treadmill lifting 50 lb. barbells above their heads in time with the beat of the song...It's all really surreal in that little, sweaty body factory in the basement of the Y...
More later, surely...I suppose I should try to find more readers for this silly enterprise.

Andrew is potty trained during the day now, except when we go to places with those scary toilets without the attached training seat. He also still wears a diaper at night, but I imagine in due time, that will come too.
Congrats to Beatrice on eating some solids! :) Not like she hasn't had the very best since the beginning. :)
What is it w/the scary seats?? I don't understand why there isn't a little person/children's-size toilet in the same stall as the handicap-accessible toilet...
Again, cheers to you and Elise for such a successful, natural birth experience! Huzzah! I can't wait to meet her (and her big brother)!
Yay for potty training and solid food! And I will definitely have to try using RHPS as a workout soundtrack, now that I'll have some time to do that. I'll probably revamp my blog, too. :)
Sarah G: I'll be watching for it, baby! A little more time for a little more wine!
