Monday May 28: quite an eventful day

 Daddy and Elle relax inside while Noah and Pops work hard in the garden to pick some potatoes for lunch.

Elle was so happy to be with her big brother and her Nanna.

Noah has been using the little potty for about 2 weeks now,but today he pooped in it for the first time!  He was rewarded with a soccer ball.  I think he's been holding it lately since we do not put diapers on him in the house.  A few days ago he asked for a diaper to poo-poo in, but he hasn't gone since then... he's usually pretty regular.  So here's how it happened... he was saying he had to poo and asking for a diaper again, but Jeff decided to just put him on the potty and hold him down (cause he said it was literally coming out).  We praised him and clapped for him to help him calm down... he was extremely proud of himself afterwards!  I hope he will keep it up.
