Potty Training...What?

I recently read a blog where my friends SON was completely potty trained with no serious accidents by age 2. Saki is 18 months and I have started wondering when I should start this fun little task. I know it can take FOREVER if started too early, but after reading this blog, I wondered if I am already behind. I have heard tons of different ages to start, but Saki just seems so little to me still. He's only 20 lbs., and I don't even know if he has any idea what a "potty" is. I have also heard that girls are usually easier to potty train than boys. Do any of you mommies out there have any ideas?

Nothing New

Since everyone has been asking me why I haven't updated our blog, I thought I would do that really quick. We have been up to...pretty much nothing.

• Ife is doing summer school. He finishes his first class today and has one more four week class that starts on Monday. He should be done with summer school on July 3rd. Life has been hectic for him and us. He is working full time and going school. He normally does this, but with summer school, he goes to school every day so Saki and I have not been able to see him much. I just keep telling myself four more weeks. After summer school Ife will have a two month break and then start up his last semester at ISU. He has been recuperating from his knee surgery well. He was in physical therapy for a few months, and is now doing the work-outs on his own. I have never met a more dedicated man. He studies hard, works hard and still manages to be a good father and husband.
• I am doing the same things as usual. I still work two full days a week as a dental hygienist and the rest of my time is spent doing the usual...cooking, cleaning, doing laundry, running errands...the stuff that is pretty much never ending. But, I have been having so much fun with Saki lately. He is almost 18 months old and can I say that he is so much fun to play with. I have been wanting to read some good books, but haven't really had time.
• Sakiusa's days are spent playing and eating and playing. His new thing is giving Eskimo kisses. He loves it and laughs so hard when I give him one. He's to the point where he knows what he wants for meals and will keep pointing and trying to tell me (in baby speech) what he wants. He gets the biggest smile and laughs and claps when I get it right. He misses his grandma and grandpa in Fiji and has been practicing saying some Fijian words. The doctor asked me how many words he could say and I told him about fifteen or so. When I started naming them off he looked at me crazy and then realized that about half of those are Fijian words. Cute huh!

Anyway, we are still here, but wanted to give a little update on our fairly boring lives.
