Fast forward...August!!

Cyler is AMAZING!   He has been completely potty trained for a month now.  He decided all my his self and did it in one day.  Of course, this was right after purchasing 2 cases of diapers because they were a "good deal".  How much of a good deal is it if you only use a few of them.  Oh well, donation time.  We have made some changes...ALL OF US!  We as parents are trying to say yes more.  Realizing that we will never know what Cyler is capable of if we don't let him try.  We have also come to the conclusion that Cyler was very much overstimulated.  This was not good.  We went through his toys and got it down to one cubicle and one bin of toys.  Yes, I understand that this is still a lot.  The rest were moved into the walk-in closet to be traded out later and some were donated.  Cyler was very much involved in the process.  We gave him the choice to rotate, donate, or keep out.  It was funny at one point--he climbed into an empty bin and said that he is not to be donated or rotated because he is staying.  At another point he looked at all the toys in the closet and asked why they were in there.  We explained again the whole rotate thing again then asked him what he thought.  His reply--I think you're A**Holes!   Terry, almost fell over and I was shocked that he used the word in the right context.  (remember this child couldn't even talk for 3 years).
