The Seat Uppers are quickly outnumbering The Seat Downers in this house. Potty training is heavily underway, with the number of successes outnumbering the number of wet pants.

On the way home from lunch
(from the back seat) “Mama look what I can do!”
(wrenching awkwardly around to see) “What can you do?”
(transferring a rock from hand to hand in a complicated fashion) “See first you do dis and then you spin it around like dis and then you go it around like dis, and then you stop it like [...]
