Miles is excited to announce that he has gone diaper-free! He has a new-found affinity for his little potty and loves to plop himself down, announce "peeee!!" (followed by leaping up, demanding "dump" and scooting himself behind the toilet to "flush"). He has little hand gestures to go with his words, and each part of the process is equally rewarding (and pretty adorable). For my part, I am very relieved (knock on wood) that we won't have to manage "two in diapers"! But I think he's figured out that not wearing diapers gives him more mobility, and thus more productivity on his little projects. It's been hard to capture a photo of his face lately as he is always diligently working - moving wood from one stack to another, loading the wheelbarrow, or chasing Ada on his little bike.
For her part, Miss Adelaide (who is "4 and quarter" she's happy to tell you) has taken off like a banshee on a two-wheel bike. We give Papap credit for the bike and for the first lesson, but within the first 15 minutes, she was off and going - no training wheels, no skinned knees. Amazing. For her 4th ride, we did a 40-minute "family run" - Adelaide on the bike, and we only had to push Miles in the Bob. I was quite impressed with her quick progress and her stamina ("can't we keep going?"), and I can't help appreciating that we've made space for our new baby in the two-kid running stroller. Win-win-win!!
