# 1 and # 2 All in the Same Week!

We haven't officially started potty training Spencer but we have started doing little things to get him interested in the toilet. For example, sometimes before a bath I'll sit him on the toilet. We also told him if he goes poop in the toilet he'll get a sticker. A few days ago he told me he needed to go poop, so I put him on the toilet and after a while he looked in and said there was poop in there. I looked and he was right. Then tonight as I was changing his diaper (diaper was already off) he said he needed to go potty. I didn't want to get squirted so I threw a wipe over him while I got the diaper ready. I then took it off to put his diaper on. He said he wanted to pee in the wipey and I said no. I then noticed a little dribble and asked him if he wanted to go on the toilet. He said he did and I told him to hold it and ran him to the toilet. Well, shortly there after he went potty in the toilet for the first time. I was pretty impressed. I was also impressed that he held the urine in from the changing table all the way to the toilet. Maybe toilet training is around the corner.

My Family's Got Talent!

At the beginning of the month we had a family talent show. My eight year old niece thought of the idea herself and put it together. We had it at my parent's church building and my mom decorated for the talent show. Spencer and I sung "I Love to See the Temple". Well, acutally, he wouldn't sing so I invited the audience to sing it with me.























































My sister and nephew told jokes.















Valerie was the mc and did a great job. She kept us laughing.











My brother and his wife did the Salsa for the talent show. They did an awesome job.











This picture is of my sister in law and her almost 10 month old son. He demonstrated his talent of walking with a walker.






Some other talents were, my 8 year old niece played a song on the piano that she had taught herself, she also sang a song with her mom, a trumpet player, my cousins' kids ages 2, 3, 5 dancing to the song "All the Single Girls" (not quite sure if that's the title), magic tricks, and building with legos. My mom and sister in law also used their talents in making desert. It was a fun night and I hope this becomes a tradition.
