Dear Etrain,

For the past four years, Auntie Ansley has been taking family photos for us. The first year it was just me and you in my belly, but the next year we did a Christmas photo shoot with Dada too. A first we just thought it'd be fun to have nice photos of us all together, dressed up and all, but it turned out it was also nice to make Christmas cards out of it. We also took photos together last year, but I didn't feel too pretty in most of those photos (I should have planned more time to get ready...and I should have picked out a better outfit), so I got a card out, but didn't make a blog post for it. I'll dig those up sometime...there were cute shots of you.

Dear Grandson Ethan,

Dear Etrain,

As I mentioned last month, we started potty training. I got a book named Potty Training in 3 Days, so the plan was that the weekend after all our vacations we were going to hunker down in the house for three days and do it. You actually did very well, I think. The first day there were accidents, of course. The next day you seemed to get the hang of it. The last day was Monday, so I kept you home from school. I was pretty confident you got the hang of it all until you peed all over the floor (like full blown, had been holding it all night, morning pee) downstairs. Which set me back in confidence on taking you out in the world. So I opted for taking your underwear off completely...and that seemed to work. We did that again on day four, Tuesday, and skipped My Gym to stay home and practice some more.

Dear Etrain,

This year Halloween season was packed with activities and fun. It all started with a Daddy and Me pumpkin carving event at your school. You and Dada headed to your school early one morning for some doughnuts and pumpkin carving. Looks like you two had tons of fun. Your pumpkin turned out pretty awesome, although sadly he didn't make it to Halloween. He was carved a bit too early and sort of melted...you'll see photos below.
