What? He likes it!
Okay, I am just messing with you, well kind of. The real story is that Trent and I opted to stay home for New Years this year and enjoy a quiet long weekend together as a family. Of course, as you might have guessed, I am not one for being able to partake in too much down time and therefore I hatched a plan to potty train Chephren while I had the 'man advantage'. Since the Internet seems to know just about everything, I turned to my computer as my primary advice-giver on the matter (followed somewhat distantly by my mom). I had previously decided on the three-day potty training method and after reading this article, we were on our way! (There is also a booklet on the subject that you can download for a fee, but we're trying to live with less remember?)
Now, I will spare you all of the grody details about the whole process (if you wanted to know more about this stuff you would have your own kid right?) but I did want to share my latest sewing project: warm fuzzy pants with no bottoms (ahem, 'assless chaps' if you will...) Being that we live in such a cold climate, letting Chephren run around with no pants on seemed somehow irresponsible as a parent, no matter how much he loves it. After experimenting with several varieties: his commercially made Baby Legs from when he was a baby (pretty small on him now) and a handmade pair of leg warmers that I knit (they don't stay up), I finally crafted a pair of fleece 'pants' that are super comfy and cozy and are held up by elastics at the top. Even Trent was impressed that I came up with these things... and it only took me about 30 minutes to make them!
Happy New Year!

Hmmm... I think that bare bottomed potty training ought to earn you some sort of prize for bravery!
