my life revolves completely around potty training right now, but we had absolutely no food in the house so i had to get to the grocery store today.  i gave gavin the choice of big boy underwear or a pull-up diaper - both totally new to him - and he chose the superman underwear.  of course he did :)  so out we went with the portable potty loaded in the car.  3 potty stops and 2 visits to the grocery store restrooms, and we were home, accident-free.  phew.

i feel like i must have said the word potty about a million times today.  every 2 minutes i'm either asking gavin if he needs to go or talking to him about it.  i'm tired of hearing myself so i know he must be, too.  while potty training is hard work, it is also such a precious time... seeing your little one accomplish something that is so grown up.  i love the way gavin is surprised every time he goes to the potty.  he consistently exclaims, "my pee pee/poopy came out!"  when he sits down and nothing comes out he says, "not working."  cracks. me. up.
