Poopy Potty Time!

Yes, it is toilet training time in our household. ESK so far has successfully done #1 and #2 in the potty a handful of times. The goal is to have her trained by the time baby Numero Dos comes around. So far, lots of praise and rewards of watching Super Why! (her fave show on PBS) seem to be working. ESK will do just about anything to watch Super Why! and dangling an episode as a reward has come in very handy during very difficult situations.

Also, speaking of all things in the nether regions.... Did I ever mention that Portland is kind of a kooky city? Apparently, Saturday afternoon is "Pants Off!" day on the public transit here in Portland. I doubt this event is something actually supported by mass transit authorities here, but it is the 8th annual, so whoever is organizing has had some past success! Needless to say, we will not be taking any kind of public transit on Saturday afternoon...
