Three items of big Dutch news.
1. Last night, for the first time since we moved into this house in September, Dutch slept in his own bed ALL NIGHT LONG! I am attributing this in equal parts to his "new" big boy bed and the Cars 2 (or, as Dutch calls it, "Johnny Missile") bed sheets.
2. He has been doing fantastic with potty training lately. We haven't had a poop accident for over a week, maybe even two! It happened right after I called my sister in despair, telling her I was sure he would NEVER poop on the toilet. I know he didn't overhear since he wasn't home when I placed the call, but somehow he knew that Mama really needed him to get potty-trained. It is, by far, my least favorite part of motherhood.
3. Next week Dutch "graduates" from his first year of early-intervention pre-school! I remember his very first day of school when I asked him what he had done that day and he said, "I played with toys." It was the most he had ever spoken all at once and I started crying. Since then he has grown so much and his language improves every single day. I don't talk about it very much, but I'm so grateful for his teachers, bus drivers, and, especially, his speech language pathologist.
That's the big Dutch news for this week!
