Big Changes!

So there have been some very big changes occurring around here lately!  First of all, we recently had a blood allergy test done on Grady and found out that he actually has NO food allergies anymore.  I suspect that he did have some, but just outgrew them.  But I have been amazed by just how easily he has transitioned back to a diet including dairy and soy.  As Eric said, it has been "Dairy Fat Tuesday" every day around here :)

The next big thing is that Grady now wears (and I am quoting him here) "Big Man Undies" every day.  He sleeps in a diaper for now, but has been doing SO WELL in his underwear.  He had already been going on the potty every day (before his tub) for many months.  But he has finally become comfortable with going throughout the day and wearing underwear.  There have been accidents, of course, but he has really impressed me with such a quick transition. 

So I think the potty thing all began because he decided he wants to play soccer.  Don't ask me how, but he pointed to the big soccer complex near us as we were driving by one day and said "I want to play there when I am a little bigger."  Anyway, one day I asked if he wanted to wear underwear that day, and he said "yes, so I can play soccer."  That makes sense, actually.

OK - on to pictures!
