A good week

This picture says it all. This was the week that Priya was going to be potty-trained. The whole process went surprisingly well. Tish started out on Monday by telling Priya that she wasn't going to be wearing diapers any more and that she was going to be using the potty. She had one accident the entire day. The hard part was getting her to go poop. She didn't go all of Monday, and finally went on Tuesday. Throughout the week she had one accident while at the park, but that's been it. We went to the movies today (Horton Hears a Who), and we went to the bathroom in the middle of the movie. So as far as the hard part of getting her to use the toilet is over.

Speaking of other good news, Priya's bed-rails came in this morning. It's amazing how easy it is to use parts actually made for the bed! You can read my experience with off-the-shelf rails here. Tish already has the bedding picked out, and when that gets here, I will put up a picture of the final bed.

I was in Pittsburgh this last week where I had the pleasure of being in the same town as George Bush. On the way to the airport, the expressway was shut down for 40 minutes. We were dead-stopped, and I had no way of knowing what was going on. At the airport, planes were lined up on the runway for over 30 minutes waiting to take off, but couldn't because Air Force One had to take off first. Coupled with that and bad weather following it, my 7:30p flight didn't leave till 11p. The fun of traveling. I will be going to San Jose this coming week - can't wait.

Happy birthday, mama
