Today after work Lucas and I had to pick up our prescriptions at Rite Aid. Normally I carry him or put him in the cart, but today I held his hand and walked. We had so much fun. We played with the balls and picked out ice cream at Haggen. It's hot today, so I thought ice cream was completely justified. We got home and he ate dinner and then we had ice cream. When I have him a scoop of chocolate he said, "Mmmm, cream." It was so cute.

Lucas really enjoys this hand-me-down book I got about using the potty. Some time ago I bought him a cheap little potty at IKEA and he loves it. He sits on it, randomly and says, "Poooo." it cracks me up. He doesn't really get the connections between those "sensations" of using the bathroom and actually doing it though. I let him go diaperless yesterday and he peed on the floor right next to his green potty. Ha! I'm not expecting him to ACTUALLY use his potty any time soon, but I figure the exposure can't hurt!

I read this article somewhere on Pinterest tonight about things people don't tell you about raising boys. There was some section about weddings or something and the quote was, "There's a good chance you may scoop up your son, hold him close and slow dance with him in your kitchen, thinking: One day you'll be taller than me and we'll be doing this at your wedding." I got all weepy. I'm getting all weepy just rewriting it.

Damn time going so quickly.
