My growing boys

Now that Christmas and Ethan's birthday are over, it is time to survive the bitter winter here in Madison, Wisconsin. Yesterday it was 20 below and no one was going to work or school. We on the other had got our gas bill and decided to turn the heat down and do some weatherproofing! We took the boys out to the Aldi to get some essentials and Dan told Ethan that it was so cold that his nose could freeze and fall off. Well, poor Ethan believed him and ran into the store holding his nose! 3 year olds will believe anything! Too cute! Ethan is finally getting potty trained and even though it is a slow process I think he is getting it. Yesterday he went all day by himself and I didn't even ask him to go. I just came into the room and he was pointing to the potty chair. Sure enough he had gone without being told! I was very proud, I almost cried! We took him to Chuck E Cheese's last Saturday to celebrate how good he was doing!
