Connor is progressing fine with potty training.  He is doing better at school than at home as the teachers are good in reminding him often.  Connor has also suggested to go pee or poo to the teachers at times too, so his pull ups have been relatively dry there.  At pick up, sometimes we ask Connor if he needs to use the restroom before we leave, he will happily say yes and walk proudly to the portable toilet there.  He takes off his pants and pull-up on his own, then he leans toward the wall to pee into the toilet.  He flushes, walks toward the sink, and takes out the stool underneath the sink.  He stands on it and starts washing his hand.  I was so surprised to see how independent he is at school.  On the other hand, with us he has his moments.  He has occasionally letting us know that he needs to pee or even poo.  He is very proud and happy with his own accomplishment, and he would remind me that we should go to Chuck E Cheese.  For some reason, he got the impression that we will go there once he has potty trained.  But at times, he still just prefers to do his business in the pull ups.  My plan is that we will move on to underwear after our upcoming trip.  Will see how he does then.

     Something about Connor was funny over the weekend.  Connor was excited to hang out around the pool, sitting on the edge.  When Stuart asked him to go into the water with him, Connor agreed.  But once he was dipped into the water, Connor whined a bit.  They continued to play in the water for a little while but Connor was having a straight face.  He then requested to sit with me again at the edge and he continued to look huffy.  I did not ask him why, but a few minutes later, Connor suddenly started talking with his broken English “Daddy put me….down in the water….down.…I AM MAD!”  Then he showed me a bigger huff and crossed his arms.  His expression was so funny, but I had to try not to laugh.  About 5 minutes later, he suddenly said “Ready now” and he started smiling again.
