Peanuts?

Owen still shows interest in the potty... almost on a daily basis. We are pleased, but not prodding. This weekend he experienced more success by actually using it rather than just acting it out.

Emeline is the best big sister! It's a role she was meant to fill in her life. When Owen came into our lives, she just shifted right into sister mode and has never looked back. She has learned that when Owen sits on the potty he must point his business down or else the bathroom will get an unexpected shower. So while Owen was sitting on the potty one afternoon, she gently reminded him to "point your penis down, Bubba". Owen looked at her and then he looked down to point down what he called "peanuts".

We don't use nicknames for body parts in our house, but that one is too funny not to share, write down in a baby book, and remember as great story material for the first girl Owen brings home to meet Mom and Dad.
