Updates
1. E is wearing underpants! 2.5 completely successful days so far. About 1000 trips to the potty in those 2.5 days (E-initiated, mostly). We're still working out the kinks ... he had to "go" 4 times during dinner the other night.
2. Took E to see his first movie at a movie theatre yesterday (Toy Story 3) to celebrate his accomplishments with potty training. Except for E being too light to hold the seat still (like all theatre seats, these flip up when not in use), our excursion was a smashing success. I don't know how much he followed the story but he did clasp his hand to his mouth during the surprising moments. He really liked the popcorn and trail mix, too.
3. We had our first parent-teacher conference on Friday to discuss E's transition to the 3 yr old class. E is above average analytically (which is no big surprise) but also was ahead of the curve rhythmically -- he can beat a drum in time to saying the ABC's! He also "discovered" a new art technique which his classmates soon picked up -- he's a natural leader! He has trouble sharing, needs to be first in line, wants to sit right next to the teacher, and doesn't like it when other kids sit in "his" spot on the rug. He is very polite and appreciative; often the first (and always the loudest) to thank a visitor.
E's current teachers are amazing! They deserve most of the potty training credit and they are so creative and enthusiastic. Luckily one of his teachers is moving up to the three year old room around the same time E does. This is a big move for E ... he'll get to use a computer in class, use the big kid playground, the toilet is full size. This is the real beginning of preschool. Hopefully, he'll make the transition easily because not long after his home life will be changing too ...
4. We took a tour of the labor and delivery department at the hospital. It looks nice I guess; big, private rooms. I'm not at all ready though but with ~6 more weeks until the due date, I guess I'd better get ready soon. The little guy is wiggling and kicking frequently and everything is going well!
5. A friend from work organized a very nice baby shower/welcome dinner for us last Thursday. It was very sweet -- I work with great people! Baby boy got some very cute presents!
6. Bill is painting the dining room! It is a nice, happy orangish red. It will look better with our mostly black furniture, compared to previously dark blue color. It is the first room in this house for which we chose the color; very exciting! We're using no-voc paint and it's great -- there is absolutely no paint smell in the house.

At the farmers market
There are these fountains that run in the middle of the farmers market. This is the first time Evan has had a chance to play in them.

Name that tune.
Seriously, we have no idea. It would really help us out if you could name this tune.
