Everybody Poops

The happy day has arrived! Sam is pretty close to being all the way potty-trained, and we're thrilled! We decided that we we're tired of buying so many diapers and pull-ups, so we tried keeping him in underwear anytime we were just hanging out at home. He has had a few accidents, but mostly waits to do his business on the potty. He used to not sit on the potty long enough to poop at all, but we tried books and movies on our portable DVD player, and now at last he gets those poops in the potty. It's been a few days since the last big accident, so we're knocking on wood and hoping that it sticks. He still uses a pull-up for nap time and sleeping, but we're hoping to retire those as well in the near future. Today he went to church for the first time in underwear, and he didn't have any accidents!
Here is a picture of the little man in action.

Jesus Banks at Wells Fargo

The other day Sam and I were at the bank doing a deposit for work, and a man with long brown hair and a beard walked by. While we were still in the car, Sam pointed at him and said, "Mom! Jesus! That's Jesus!" Sometimes Sam will put my brown headbands around his chin and call himself Jesus too. I guess it's a good thing that Jesus is in his thoughts throughout the day. I guess the next step is to teach him that Jesus wants him to be good (and not to do "jell-o body" and throw fits in the store when he wants a toy truck he sees!).

Phone Change

Just to let you all know, we decided to get rid of one of our cell phones since we really don't need both (we're either at work where there's a phone or together). So now if you need to get a hold of either Chris or me, just call my regular number since Chris' number is no longer in service (and if you don't know that number, leave a comment with your email address and I'll send it to you). There is a possibility that we may change our number to a local Washington number once our contract is up the end of February; but if that happens, I'll let you all know. I think I'll send out a mass email with this update, so sorry if you hear about this twice.
