Well it has begun....We have broke Luke off the bottle and started the potty training. He is doing really good with both!! It seems like he is growing up over night.

I wasn't really planning to start any of it..but it just kinda happen. Which was really nice. First it was the bottle. Well one day we were out of milk and I couldn't go get any, so I thought ok we will just see what happens. It was time for Luke's nap and I put him down and told him that the milk and the baba was all gone. He was not very happy about it. He kept getting up and getting up. After about 5 or 6 times and when I opened the fridge and showed him there was no milk he finally realized he was too tired to care and went to sleep. It really wasn't that bad compared to our previous experiences of trying to take it away...which involved crying and screaming and kicking and never settling down. And each time it has gotten easier. At first he would ask for the bottle and I would say "no more bottles" and then he would toss and turn for a little while and go to sleep. But now he is not even asking for it.

As for the potty training, that is still a work in progress. We got him a potty chair months ago and when we first got it he was very interested in it. He would sit on it and everything but would never go, and then eventually he wanted nothing to do with it. So I decided I would just put it away some where in the closet and bring it back out when he seemed interested in it again. So one day he kept saying " Where Luke potty go?" Then he saw a commercial on TV for Pull Ups and thought it was pretty cool. So I showed him his big boy underwear and asked him if he wanted to wear them. And to my surprise he did. So we put them on him and then took him to the potty after a little while. He sat down and was trying to go but couldn't quite figure it out. So I turned the water on in the sink hoping that would give him the urge to go, and it did. So now his is using the potty when we are at home to go pee pee, but hasn't done the doo yet. But it is a great start, and it all started happening with the bottle and the potty on the same day. So that's why I said it seems like he grew up over night. It is really neat, but also sorta sad. He is definitely not a baby anymore.
Workout: Took Luke for a 30 min walk this morning.

Congratulations! This is in my very near future. I've sat John on the potty a few times, but never any action. I think he's just interested in sitting there, but not in actually doing anything!
Ohh thats fantastic. Both in one day . What a good Boy.
Way to go Luke! I decided letting the twins set the pace for the training was the best way to go...kids do it when they are ready and not a moment sooner. For them this meant being 3...and it seemed almost effortless.
this is encouraging, esp about the potty training. how old is luke?
WOW good for Luke - accomplishing two tough tasks at once - what a good boy!! It must be hard to see them at that stage, as you say it's kind of sad at the same time. Sam's getting there too - eeek!
