I realize this news flash probably ain't going to count as "big news" for you guys, but the particular event made me very happy yesterday. Verneri doodied in his potty for the first time! Yay!!! I know you can't relate to my excitement, but man, it was like finding gold! We've been potty training for the entire summer. Every once in the while we get an occasional pee in there, but yesterday, -boom!. Just like that there was a chunk of a doody in the potty...(please don't imagine that for your own sakes..) Verneri couldn't understand my excitement as I was doing a rain dance around the apartment chanting "poo in da potty, poo in da potty...cha cha cha" Gee, I'm so happy!! It's as if a bird spotter saw the rare bird after months of desperate wait...Please bear with me here! This just means that another milestone has been reached and the kid is growing up!
