So we have been working with Ethan on potty training and he has been doing great. He is such a funny kid. He told me the other day that monkey needed to go potty so he put monkey on the potty. I think he is just the cutest thing in his little underwear. He has figured out that claiming he has to go to the bathroom will get him out of places he doesn't want to be, i.e. his carseat, church, or his high chair. We will let him watch some tv while he sits on the toilet so if he wants to watch a show and we say no then he will say "potty" and sit down. So manipulative but just adorable.
In other news we now know that September 15th we should find out the sex of Baby Fish if all goes as planned. So stay tuned for the blog announcement around then.

CUTE CUTE CUTE. I seem to remember Jess doing the same trick to get out of unwanted circumstances. The good news is it doesn't end. They still "need" to go potty in the middle of sacrament (not that I always mind). Look forward to the 15th. Exciting.

oh what a cute and adorable character. i love that he's smart enough to figure out how to manipulate you two! btw, what is up with switching your plans on me? i really hoped you'd be in utah at christmas!!!
I know, Michelle, we wanted to come at Christmas but since Ethan will be 2 we will have to pay another $500 for a seat for him. With two mortgages we just don't have the money for that. In addition I will be very pregnant and I'm sure flying with Ethan will be even less fun at that time. Hopefully we can still get up to NY to see you sometime. ~Meredith
Ahhh... potty training- it's the pits. My parents told me it only takes second to teaching our kids how to drive. I guess that gives us something to look forward to! So it sounds like you won't be home for Christmas- bummer! I always look forward to seeing you guys but I understand. Who can afford to go anywhere anymore and especially when you're about to pop! Can't wait to know what you guys are having!!
We are coming home for Thanksgiving, that was one of the reasons that Michelle was upset because she is planning on Christmas.

Why do kids have to be so smart? They learn, faster than we can even think about it, the ways to get their way! You are very brave to tackle potty training! ;) Hey, one kid in diapers is nice!!!
Can't wait for the news next month! Wahoo!
Congrats on the potty training! It's always a joyous occasion!
Congratualtion on the baby! How exciting. Potty training...very exciting as well. Be careful when he tries to take the stuffed animals to the real potty. At our house we had Snow White fall in! OOPS! Shannon
I am so glad you have a blog! It makes it so much easier to keep in touch. Ethan is adorable! Hope you're feeling well Meredith.
