Well, he did it! He finally gave in to becoming a big boy and potty training. It was not an easy process with this strong-willed little guy. He was smart enough to out smart us every step of the way. We tried everything (and I mean everything) to get him to use the potty for months and months. No promise was big enough to sway him from the ease of being able to use a diaper. But when he decided to give in to the potty then all those promises came back to pour on him and
wreak havoc on us (

Last night was just another step in his growing up potty process. He got to see his first movie at a real movie theater, eat his first BIG bag of popcorn (not counting the little pieces he
sneaks at the Y during skating time) and drink his first BIG soda (... okay, provided by mom and dad and containing caffeine).
After Aaron and Mary came over to help us with Lexi who is just too young (and energetic) to take to the movies, we headed to see The Bee Movie. To say he was excited would be an understatement. He was all smiles. And apparently really important because we had the entire theater to ourselves. Thank goodness though. I think it may have disturbed others when he burped twice extremely loud in the middle of the movie (after drinking that entire Pepsi). He held his pee though through the whole thing. Guess he didn't want to miss a minute of the movie.
When it was over a very happy little boy quickly ran off the bathroom to relieve himself and prove once again why we were celebrating at the movies.
The Big Boy was standing a bit taller and bouncing a bit higher (aka Pepsi again) as we headed back to the car. Only down note.... too much popcorn sure can sting those little lips! (
