Tony is Frightened of Everything, Except Thunderstorms

Many toddlers go through a stage where they are frightened of almost anything conceivable. Most toddlers are afraid of loud noises, the dark, monsters and thunderstorms. Well, Tony does not fall into the category of most toddlers. 

Over the past couple of days we have had some strong rumbles of thunder in the area that have sent our dog Phoebe scampering for cover in corners and underneath blankets, but Tony has not been fazed by the loud booms created by the lightning. 

Tony has told us in the past that he does not like it when it storms, but he has not lost his cool during a thunderstorm yet this spring. Now, we also have yet to experience a really nasty summer thunderstorm, and that might change the game completely.

Adventures in Potty Training: Part One

Nicole and I decided it was time to go full bore with the whole potty training adventure with Tony yesterday. We had been telling him for a couple of weeks that once his diapers were gone he had to start wearing underwear and using the potty. 

For the last couple of weeks, each time we spoke about it, he would agree and sometimes get excited at the thought of wearing big boy underwear. 

Yesterday, Tony had just three diapers left and he went through them pretty quickly. By the time mommy got home from school it was time to don the big boy underwear.
