Robots and Rocket Ships...
Ethan's room is officially done. Well besides the rug that I am still waiting to come in the mail but the walls are complete. We transitioned his room from a baby nursery to a big boy room with robots and rocket ships, the theme chosen by Ethan and some of his favorite things. We went with decals on the walls this time instead of wallpaper to avoid the lovely water streaks down the wall and they are easy to take on and off. It turned out pretty well if I do say so myself and Ethan likes it too.

Happy New Year!
Happy New Year everyone. Let's hope that 2011 is a fantastic year.
It started out great in the Kalles household. Ethan is finally using the potty which is HUGE. For a second there I thought we were going to have a kid that would never learn to use the potty but I figured he would get it down before college right? We decided to spend our holiday break working on toilet training and believe me, it was a little difficult at first with several accidents the first few days but I have to give thanks to Elmo's potty video. Without that I think Ethan would still not want to use the potty but if it is OK with Elmo, it's OK with Ethan. I just hope that he doesn't think from here on out every time he uses the toilet he gets a treat which usually results in a cupcake or car.
One other thing that we did during the winter vacation was turn Ethan's room into a big boy's room. He still had his nursery decor up and had stripped some of the wall trim off the wall so we decided it was time to change it up a bit. All the painting has been completed and we are just waiting on some finishing touches to show up in the mail. Once it is all complete I will be sure to post pictures so stay tuned.
