A little happy note on Mikey. When Presley was here a "Happy Mikey" phase began. I think it was because he finally had someone to play with and better yet who actually wanted to play with him. He's been pretty good the last week and a half as well. On Monday when I was getting him dressed he insisted on wearing underwear. I needed to go shopping so I was not going to let him. Up to this point he's only worn underwear about 3 times with no success. He insisted and was working his way into a fit and I knew if he didn't get his way on this one we'd be late getting Conner to school so I gave in grabbing an extra pair of pants and diaper for the "accident" at the store. Well he had no accidents. I just had him go to the bathroom every 2 hours. He even slept in underwear at naptime and bedtime. The next day he wanted to be a baby but I thought you did so good yesterday let's try it again. Not so good, 4 accidents. On Wednesday he wanted to be a big boy but I said oh no, you're not ready. I'm not going through that again but again he insisted and he's been in underwear every since, even to church. He's hasn't pooped in them at all because I've told him I'll just throw them away. I don't scrub poop out. He did pee pretty bad in them this morning probably because I didn't remind him to go but that's it. I'm amazed. He potty trained himself. I'm not very good at potty training. I just hate it and so I've always waited until the kid was ready and it's been an overnight success with all three boys. Needless to say they were all 3+ when they finally started being big boys but I've never had to deal with all the messes that come with doing it early. Conner has never peed the bed and Sam only once at Nana's and so far Mikey hasn't either. I wish I could do it when they were two. I hate thinking of all the money I would have saved if I would have started earlier but it is so worth my sanity. As a mom there's always battlse you choose and this has never been one of mine.

Darth Mikius
I have been able to get the boys real light sabers and this vader mask at the DI but the boys prefer to fight with the ones Neil made them.
