Beautiful Day - and First Bonafide pee in a Toilet

So we had amazing Paris weather today (well until about 8:30pm). We awoke to sunshine and afternoon highs in the 60's.

First things first, we grabbed the ping pong paddles and Michael and I played in the park. Then we went to buy birthday presents and had lunch at McDonalds (no judgement please) where Michael had 5 high school-aged French girls cooing at him and waiting for his marriage proposal. A guy their own age came by and gave up when he realized he had no shot against Michael.

Then, we came home and both passed out for a nap.

When we woke up, we ran to another park for Oliver's 2nd birthday! It was great fun to see everyone at playgroup and EVERYONE WELL! No sick kids! A miracle after this winter. We all went back to Laura's and had cake and homemade Pizza. Yum yum.

Brian came home early from work and we went to an Italian place for dinner. Then we came home and Michael took a bath.

And this is where it gets crazy.

Right before he started to pee, he said to me, "Michael needs to pee." And he did a little bit. Stopped. Then said, "Pee in big Boy Toilet."

So we hurriedly grabbed the toilet and he sat on it. And peed. Unfortunately, he doesn't know how to hold his junk down so we got pee all over the floor. And almost all over us. But it still counts right?

**Might I add...we are not the kind of parents who have been potty training our kid since age 7 months. In fact, we didn't even want to bother with it until August when we are done with all our traveling. And really, we don't push it now. But he's started to do it so here we go, whether we like it or not!**

Love,
