I'm definitely out of my element with the new tech here.

LOL.

Remember "No hot linking?"

Remember ImageShack, Photobucket?

So much better here. @Klaus has done a great job finding this software and setting up and maintaining.

What memories...
He really has done a fantastic job! Thank you, @Klaus!

So cool to see you here. Welcome to parenthood. I’m in the part where it gets easier physically and logistically.

Yeah, but that's the scary part in that you lose more control. I won't always know where he is at that age I am looking forward to having conversations with him and going more places. Learning what his interests are. Yeah, it's going to be a good time. For now I love watching him at the playground and laugh at poop with him.

How old is he again?

Every age brings pros and cons, mostly pros... I found the ages 3 and 4 to be the best, if I had to pick. Old enough to learn things and talk, even ride a scooter, but not old enough to be in school yet.

Glad all’s well with you LW. Sounds like you’re enjoying the joys of managing parenting toddlerhood.

Wait until they’re teenagers…

Hope you are still doing some music?

Good to see you around LW (I’d been ctpianotech prior to switching to this forum)

Looks like 89 has you covered on the potty tips, and sounds like you’re doing great with the little one!

As for me, I can’t update the avatar without windows paint, but earlier this year got a new title…grandpa

You're in for some wonderful times.

Congratulations!

@LW good to have you here! Don't worry, the human race generally has very high success rates for potty training. The adult population is estimated to only have 1.5% to 3% continuing to experience nocturnal enuresis [cite]. The odds are heavily in your favor!

@Rich congratulations on becoming a grandparent!

Congrats!!!!!

@89th he's just turned 2 1/2. It's very fun, except the meltdowns.

[LW]

@Renauda unfortunately I'm not at the moment beyond toddler songs and nursery rhymes. I'll get back to it, I know that. The kid really enjoys music so we do sing, play bongos, and do some piano plonking, but I don't really play any more.

[LW]

@Axtremus those are very encouraging numbers!

Oh perfect, the ages of 3 and 4 are coming up!

Yes the meltdowns. Our (boy) is the one with the bigger emotional swings than our girls. This morning he had a bit crying episode because his spiderman shoes were too small and he was sad to see them go.

Honestly, I get it, mini 89th. I like my shoes too. Our neighbors have a nearly 3 yo girl and she looks at him with toddler confusion (almost a disdain ) when he has meltdowns. They enjoy playing together but he almost always has a meltdown when it's time to leave.
