Nate attended a parent’s meeting for our local baseball league last week. We still don’t know which teams our boys will be on, but that has not stopped the excitement. We do know a bit more about when their games will be scheduled and what they’re expected to provide for themselves (i.e. their own socks, gloves, protective undergarments… etc.)

We went to the store last week to pick up the last item listed above. I had a few other items to get, so Nate took Andy and Brady to pick out their “cups.” I’m sure some of you are cringing that I’m actually blogging about this, but to a four and five-year-old, this topic is very fun and exciting.

When we all met up in the store, Nate couldn’t stop grinning. Apparently, the boys were so excited about their cups that they wanted to hold them and carry them through the store. When we got up to pay, they asked if they could carry them to the van. When we got home, they immediately had to try them on (after a quick lesson on how to put them together.) Their sheer joy over an undergarment had both Nate and me snickering under our breath. [OK, I'll admit that part of my amusement was that they were size "pee-wee." I don't get out enough, remember?!]

Both Andy and Brady had to tell Nana about their “potty cups” when she called. I could hear her trying not to laugh. They feel so grown up! We knew this was an important rite of passage for them, so we tried to let them live out their excitement… but I couldn’t stand it anymore when I awoke the other day and found my piano like this:

Yes… That’s Brady’s “potty cup” proudly displayed on a taper candle (which he moved down) and left for the world to see upon entering our house.

Thankfully, at this point, we’re too busy and too exhausted to host the whole world at our house.
