TED Talks - GRIT

I love TED talks.  This one was particularly good and one of my favorites.

Angela Lee Duckworth: The key to success? Grit

TED Talks are "Ideas Worth Spreading."  World go-getters and leaders in various industries who have innovative and life-changing ideas.  Very intriguing to listen to their 6 minute talks.

Potty Training... Jump on board.

Bye bye diapers and hello big boy undies...
 
 
 
The beginning of day 1.


The end of day 1.  It was a successful day 1.  The main improvement I would love to see... Asked to sit on potty.  Please, Dear GOD, let that happen sooner than later. 

Day 2 went pretty well. He stopped asking for diapers and realized undies were now in his life forever.  That is progress.

Hopefully Day 3 will be the best yet!
