We had a really nice weekend enjoying the beginnings of Fall and celebrating Great Grandma Della's birthday. Saturday we had a nice boat ride to see the Fall colors with Gram and Grandpa B, then we had Grandma's birthday party Saturday night, and Sunday we spent with Grandma and Grandpa B hiking in Wisconsin. We also had the pleasure of a visit with Katie, Joe and Isabelle last week. Isabelle is so big and just adorable! Thanks to Katie's brother Paul and girlfriend, Nithu, for hosting us - and to Donna & Emil for watching Luke so we could go downtown on a weeknight.
Here is the Luke update - first, he is talking so much more, it is so exciting. We seriously can have two way communication, almost like real conversations! His independence is blossoming, too. There is never a stool for reaching things too far away. He likes to turn on and off the lights in every room, and especially likes to wash his own hands. Emil made him a wonderful high reaching stool for our European height bathroom vanity:)
We are continuing with the whole potty training thing slowly. I think I mentioned that he has gone potty on the big toilet with the toddler ring several times. But we just got him his very own little potty seat, and he loves it. He is more interested in going pee on little potty than he has been on going on the big toilet. He goes on it almost every night. Last week he even had his first #2 on his potty! Quite the milestone. Matt tells me that it is inappropriate to post the photo of this accomplishment, but don't you worry, we have it documented!
