"Big Poppy"

We were so excited we got to go to Aunt LuAnn's for dessert after our Thanksgiving dinner this year! Ashton LOVES everyone he knows, but his relatives more so. "Big Poppy" Lodder was his special friend this day. They played catch with a mangled stuffed animal dog toy, and both guys had a blast! We are so lucky to have "Big Poppy" here in our lives! We love him so! I am thrilled that I was able to catch a photo of them together on my cell phone...

Potty

After the influence of other little boys throughout Ashton's life so far, he's finally started trying to "go" in the potty, but only at times when he is naked. He also uses the potty vocabulary to announce his trying, but has them a bit mixed up. "Pee-pee" is referring to other actions, and needs to be taken into account while assisting him at the potty...Ashton's dad learned this first hand and I'm not sure his shoes lived to tell the tale ;)
