Diaper-free Ian

Although fairly quick and easy (especially since it wasn't us that had to deal with it), Ian's potty training for during the day time went quite smoothly. After a couple months of that, he even was able to go without diapers during his naps. However, we were convinced that it would take much longer to go without at night since it was always very full and he is a very sound sleeper. I even bought two boxes of diapers when they were on sale since I figured it wouldn't be until the summer before he got out of them. Lo and behold, one night we forgot to put a 'night-time' diaper on and he was fine and hasn't looked back since (well, maybe a couple glance over his shoulders where he didn't quite make it to the toilet), but it has been a month of only one kid in diapers in the house. Looks like there may be an end in sight to stinky trash due to diapers.

Kiera's loose tooth

Just before her 6th birthday, Kiera is getting her first loose tooth. She was very excited when she first noticed it, although would sometimes not be able to tell which one it was. A few weeks later, it is still there, but definitely can tell it is a loose tooth. She is looking forward to getting money from the tooth fairy, which she is very keen on putting in her piggy bank (and maybe buying candy).
