Sunday at Home

We had a nice, productive weekend outside and inside, and now I'm just chillin' while Eric grades papers for his May term Prob & Stats class. I thought I'd post a couple of Ian pictures for all you family out there. We had a really nice day, even though we're all battling colds.

Eric installed the first part of our project to fence in the backyard and Ian helped him. He's getting really good at his "tool" vocabulary and is able to hand Eric things as he needs them. He even has his own "work pants" with holes in the knees just like Daddy's.

Right before bed every night, if Ian has had an accident-free day, he gets to pick out a sticker to put up on his potty chart (or sometimes on his jammies). Today, he beat his own record and went THREE WHOLE DAYS without an accident, and we decided he needed something a little more special to celebrate. So we gave him a train engine we had put away for a special time, and gave it to him. The engine's name is Murdoch, and Ian got to stay up 20 extra minutes to play with him a bit before going to bed. He was so excited!

PS: Thanks to Ian's Nana (a.k.a, Mum/Pam) for supplying us with Murdoch a few weeks ago!
