We haven't taken many photos lately but have been enjoying the first few months of 2011 here in Virginia.
We've seen lots of movies, and gone to lots of restaurants, and just generally been enjoying all of our favorite indoor winter activities.
North still has his killer smile.
And is pretty well potty trained now (thank you grandma!!!!) although we do still put him in a pull-up when he sleeps or we go out. He's been great about not having accidents although, while out the other day when we asked if he would like to use the store's bathrooms he informed us he would "never EVER poop anywhere but our house," so that's going to be a problem.
We have used extreme bribery in our potty training efforts, including lots of Tron and Star Wars toys. A favorite (which admittedly was really more for Alan than North) is a radio controlled light-cycle from Tron--it lights up and can drive up walls and on the ceiling.
Alan playing.
Grandma has been out for a couple of visits--during each of the federal holiday weekends--which has been great. During a previous visit we visited the National Aquarium in DC (much smaller than it's Baltimore counterpart) and had a great time. Last week she was here all week and potty trained North! Her timing last week was particularly welcome as I have a broken bone in my foot (our cat tripped me on our stairs one evening) and having the extra help while I'm not very mobile was a dream come true.
Before the broken bone we took a trip downtown one weekend to check out the Library of Congress (sadly our only trip downtown in months).
Enjoying the chilly day downtown.
And that's it for my photos. More to come as we take more...
