The Best Father's Day Present EVER!

We had a nice Father's Day. The boys and i made gingerbread waffles (i adapted the recipe to be gluten-free and they were delish!) and orange julius for breakfast. But first we had to wake Doug up and did so by storming in with our new nerf-like pop guns. We've been through a few of them lately and i was excited to find new ones at Target. So he was bombarded. We had breakfast. The boys gave him a cute card.

We drove out to the Garden of the Gods for a hike around the Siamese Twins that we so enjoy. This was the first hike Keegen did all by himself! He would NOT let us carry him (it's a mile loop). It was a beautiful, hot, sunny day and we were all pooped from all of the vitamin D.

After the hike we decided to take advantage of the fact that we were right above Manitou Springs and got some lunch at a Mexican place we like called The Loop. The boys were so well-behaved that we actually all had a good time.

We've blown bubbles and played in the sprinklers and had a nice little dinner.

But, the BEST part was yet to come...

Bode pronounced after we got him in his jammies with his "nighttime Pull-Up" that he had "to go poop on the potty!" (he's been pee-trained for about 8 months but has NEVER once in his lifetime pooped on the potty. He instead holds it and asks for a pullup at home and then we make him clean everything up. Much harder than just pooping on the potty. But i've already chronicled a lot about this subject so i'll say no more).

He ran downstairs and very quickly and efficiently did his business! We whooped and screamed and danced. The whole neighborhood is now well aware of his success.

Doug and i are in total disbelief. Seriously. Will we wake up in the morning and it will all have been a dream?

Best present EVER.
