Eric's home

Eric's home!!! We went up to Fort Lewis to his graduation on Wednesday and it was so good to finally see him! Eli hugged him and giggled constantly. We got to spend a couple of days up there relaxing and hanging out with our good friends. I found him in this picture from the website- can you see him??? This is the day they marched out of the field, 12 days without a shower in 80 weather. yuck. I love my soldier and am so happy to have him home again!

You probably think I dress Eli up like this to be cute, but if you know Eli at all you know he is OBSESSED with hats and wearing big shoes. This is a daily thing for him to find a hat of some sort, maybe helmet, adult size shoes or socks, and top it off with a pair of gloves or glasses and he's ready to go. At least he is wearing males shoes, Eric doesn't know how he feels about the high heels he likes to wear!

hows about alittle poopy on the toilet

Well, well well we had quite a celebration at our house yesterday. Nothing to do with celebrating our countries Independence day or anything... BIGGER THAN THAT...Eli had his first poop on the toilet! We first bought him a little toilet about 3 months ago and he likes to sit on it while we are in the bathroom, and then lately he has been asking to go pee or poo and so we rush into the bathroom. Most the times he was scared to get onto big toilet, but we bribed him with candy. So every time he will sit on the toilet he gets a treat. A couple of days ago we ran into the bathroom and he peed on the floor- so close. But then yesterday, he said poo poo and we made it the the toilet just in time! We probably scared him with how much we all cheered for him and showered him with treats. We aren't "potty training" exactly right now, but just leaving it available for him. He isn't even 2 yet, and I think if we really pushed him we could be lookin at a year of struggle. So we will let him go when he asks for now. Eric did miss the milestone, I saved the poopy for him though... I am TOTALLY joking... that would be disgusting.
