Potty training, Turkey Day and GG's flesh wound

A little over a week ago, David looked down at his diaper and said "Me wear underwear." Alright then. Since then, he's been making much potty training progress, including going accident free all day when the poor kid had to spend the day at work with me on Wednesday because we were Alma-less. In addition to not peeing or pooping all over my office, David was ridiculously well behaved the entire day despite going without a nap. Many thanks to my co-workers, my medical student and to our receptionists' niece Abby who were such a help keeping him busy and me sane. Here are some pictures of David entertaining nurse Josy and med student Amanda.

We spent Thanksgiving morning at our second home, Brookfield Zoo. It was pretty chilly, but we took in some of the indoor exhibits like the primates, the fish and the play zoo. After naptime, we headed to GG's and ate until we couldn't eat any more. David had fun playing pool with Kevin, Kevin's great uncle Frank, Uncle Dave and Grandpa. He also received his first Christmas present which will probably top all other Christmas presents--Lincoln logs complete with a little train set from great aunt Vic and John. He loves them.

This morning while I was busy saving the world from the common cold, Kevin and David built a village out of Lincoln logs and then headed off to Grandma and Grandpa's house. David helped Granpa put up Christmas decorations and helped Grandma, GG and great aunt Barb with their annual Christmas cookie baking. The boy knows his way around a rolling pin.

I joined them after work and got to decorate cookies. Plus I got to suture the hole GG stabbed in her hand while cutting up snacks. Until those stitches come out in a week or so, Lil needs to keep that hand dry. That means no washing dishes. What do you think the Vegas odds on that happening are?
