these are the over-joyed parents of a little boy who just went pee-pee in the potty for the first time! and this is the train the little boy earned when he accomplished this very important task! it took a couple of hours of running around naked and lots of juice, but he did it! it’s all down hill from here, right?! we’ve got pictures of Matty on the potty and the pee-pee, but you probably don’t want to see those!

both these little guys are sick–argh! (this photo was taken last weekend, not today) this is matty’s first real cold of the winter–where he had a fever and a cough. he didn’t start preschool today because of it. i was praying david wouldn’t get it–but, this morning he is congested and FUSSY! he’s had more colds this winter than any kid should have in their whole childhood! so he’s home from school today, too. i’m feeling sorry for myself. and a little discouraged. boo hoo! hopefully they’ll spring back quickly!
