T.T.

Blake did it for the first time today in the little boy potty. We were changing a diaper and he asked to go potty, which he does often and just enjoys sitting there. But today he did it. As he sat there and went "tee tee" all over the floor and himself, Shar and I applauded like he had just won gold at the Olympics. It was a joyful moment.

For his success he received a popsicle, which he eats in the backyard. He does this daily without supervision, but today I watched out the living room window. He wanders around and eats slowly. Blake had made his way back up to the porch when his popsicle split in two falling to the concrete. The next scene was priceless. He quickly scrambled trying to pick up the melting ice and shove it in his mouth before Kojie got to it. This event ended with Kojie licking the melted juice off of Blake's hands and belly. Blake and Kojie both think that is just great.

On the way home from church we stopped for a slurpee at 7-11. At home Shar took Anna inside and Blake and I had a seat on the drive way. We sat there and shared a cola slurpee as the storm clouds formed to the south of us. It was a perfect moment. The slurpee that did not make it into his mouth was once again cleaned up by our trustee dog Kojie. I wish time would slow down so these moments of perfection would last longer.
