pee update

mr. flea (correction: he reports Dillo learned at school) taught Dillo to pee standing up about a week ago. He's a little drippy on the floor after the fact, but hey, three years old. (Note to self: must clean bathrooms more frequently than I am currently doing.)

Dillo has also been dry on wakeup (in diapers) consistently for nearly a week. I think it's too soon to go diaper free overnight, but I think it's a good sign, and maybe we'll start trying in a few weeks.

A story. We first gt cups like this at The Grasshopper Shop in Ellsworth Maine when I was 6. They were orange. On later visits my mother got more colors (pastel rainbow) and also some taller ones. We have had 6 at my house as our main glasses for several years now. And I found a way to buy them online! These are 5 of the new ones, available for $3.19 each at http://www.kidsmartliving.com/benplasdrina.html. They have taller ones, too! (They are BPA-free, dishwasher safe, unbreakable, and not tippy. Also, PRETTY. Win for kids!)

Members of my immediate family: if you don't want a dozen for Christmas, speak up now. I may develop a small problem with buying them ALL.
