one down!

at penny's 18-month appt, her pedicatician mentioned that she thought penny might be ready to potty train. though we thought it seemed a bit early, we gave it a shot anyhow since we happened to be training big brother zack this week (our last attempt to train him was thwarted by a case of an upset tummy -- to put it nicely -- and it took us quite a long time to muster the energy for another go).

penny was decidedly not ready for the potty, but the z-man is on day #7 and going strong! we pretty much had to get the job done this time, since he recently had become very resistant to our trying to change his diaper. although it was chaotic spening a whole day trying to potty train two kids at once, we did get this pretty cute pic of them.
