Journaling about my kids (plural- wow!) for me; updates on our life for our wide circle of loved ones is for, well, our loved ones; sharing about life with a spunky toddler and the emotional highs and lows of having a wonderful baby with Down Syndrome is for anyone who might be on a similar journey.

Number two

So, I kind of can't believe it that Liam's just over two years old and is already pooping on the potty! Not always, and we are not doing any formal potty trAining yet, but a couple of weeks ago pedro thought we should get out the potty and try it since we always know when he was going number two by his semi squat position and concentrated look.  
And after a few tries he was willing to sit on it!  And if he goes, we clap and cheer and kiss and blow bubbles to celebrate. 
Get this.  Today we were at a birthday party in a friend's apartment, and he was holding a toy car, when he patted his behind and said "po". So I rushed him to the bathroom, and he did it!  
I'm pretty positive that almost no one wants to hear all of this, but here is why it so amazing.... I was scared by the stories I'd heard of kids with DS not potty training until 5, 6 or so.  Not to put down those kids, every individual is different, but admittedly, it did make me sad about the future thinking of preschool in a diaper and what other kids might say.  
So yeah for Liam!
