Becoming a Christian

Thanks for the modified picture, Glenn!

Okay, those of you who really know us, know our 3rd child, Chewy, has been a handful for more the so called "terrible twos". Who defined it as such a short time I want to know! We've got video proof of his 3 year old birthday party that that phase didn't end on time! No reason hitting and taking and not helping have been just parts of his personality.

Anyway, something's happened. We have used every dirty trick in the book to get Chewy to start paying attention to when he needs to go to the restroom (he calls it the restaurant). But a month ago he figured out what was going on down below, and the average thickness of his diaper is not all that changed. That success (though it's still an every hour celebration of even a trickle) has translated into other things we have been hoping for, for years. He has graduated from "It's mine" to "that's not fair" - meaning that if he gets a popsicle, he'll make sure his brothers have one too. Can't wait 'til he graduates from fairness to charity (baby steps Miguel...keep it real).


We're enjoying this new success that came with potty training. He's sweeter and more caring. He's more expressive lately and even a bit more responsible (okay, I'm pushing it). So look for it next time you see us. He's better, he's really doing better!
