Devin Update

I updated a bit at the end of the last post on how Devin was doing this morning, but I thought this update deserved it's own post. Devin has done AWESOME! We ended up going to Great America to get our passes completed and only intended on staying for a short while (since we can go whenever we want with our passes and it is only 10-15 min away). We got there around noon and left around 6! Devin only had a very slight accident because one time when he told us he had to go we were a little far from a bathroom, but really didn't even have to change his underpants (although we did). He had other very successful trips to the bathroom throughout the day. He is completely independent going to the bathroom, with the exception of needing us to pick him up if there isn't a stool for him to stand on. He tells us when he has to go, runs fast to the potty or waits for us to show him where to go, pulls his pants down, does his business and wipes, flushes, closes the lid, pulls his pants back up, and washes his hands. It's great! If we're at home, we don't have to do a thing :) I think I can officially say that he is potty trained!
We'll still wait and see what the overnight brings, but I'm not so concerned about that quite yet. It took Aiden about a month to be consistent with that.

I took a few pictures with my phone at GA...I wasn't full on prepared with anything more than changes of clothes since we didn't anticipate staying the day.

I loved how Devin just kept going around in circles ;)

Patiently waiting for a ride...Devin was putting on the glasses and then tried to put them back on Micah ;)

This boy has had quite the growing up experiences over the past month or so. I took his blanket away last month...I didn't take Aiden's away until his 5th birthday after we moved here. I had his special blankets in the wash and it took me a few days to get to doing the laundry (go figure) and he was doing just fine without them-so I figured I'd just pack them away. He asked about them and I told him I put them away and he was fine with that. Done deal.
On Easter we let Devin go back to Sunday School during church for the first time. The age is supposed to be 3 and up, but we figured he was getting pretty close, and he'd be with his brother. Again-he did great and loves going.
He finally figured out how to pedal his big bike and does pretty good on his scooter too. I was especially proud of him for learning to ride his bike after seeing another boy about 9 months older than him still trying to figure it out. I think this is about the age they do that, and was just happy he got to that milestone.
And now he's a big boy going potty with the best of them :) So proud of this "not so little" guy. What happened to my baby?? He's growing up so fast!
