Over the last few months Paul and I have been helping Silas along in his journey to big brother status.  In January we had the &#8220;bye bye binki&#8221; ceremony &#8211; Silas having the honors of &#8220;chuck binki in trash&#8221; while we all clapped and cheered.  In February he moved into his very own toddler bed &#8211; only once did I come in the next morning to find him cuddled on the floor.  And last month Paul successfully potty trained him in a day&#8230;no kidding! (a HUGE thanks to our dear friend Jen for the excellent recommendation: &#8220;Toilet Training in Less Than A Day&#8221; by Nathan Azrin &#8211; it totally works.)  Silas is all excited for this new &#8220;baby brover&#8221; or &#8220;baby sista&#8221; to &#8220;pop out&#8221; so they can &#8220;play diggers&#8221; together and &#8220;share.&#8221;  So now we&#8217;re just hangin&#8217; out, biding our time, waiting for this new little one to make his or her appearance.<\/p>\n<p><center><br \/>\n<a class=\"imagelink\" rel=\"\u201dlightbox[bidingTime]\u201d&lt;p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.apadventures.net\/images\/bidingTime\/1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.apadventures.net\/images\/bidingTime\/1.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n&#8220;Baby seep here&#8221;<\/center><\/p>\n<p><center><br \/>\n<a class=\"imagelink\" rel=\"\u201dlightbox[bidingTime]\u201d&lt;p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.apadventures.net\/images\/bidingTime\/2.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.apadventures.net\/images\/bidingTime\/2.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n&#8220;Si-yas seep in toddyer bed&#8221;<\/center><\/p>\n<p><center><br \/>\n<a class=\"imagelink\" rel=\"\u201dlightbox[bidingTime]\u201d&lt;p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.apadventures.net\/images\/bidingTime\/3.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.apadventures.net\/images\/bidingTime\/3.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nShowing his toys his new toddler bed<\/center><\/p>\n<p><center><br \/>\n<a class=\"imagelink\" rel=\"\u201dlightbox[bidingTime]\u201d&lt;p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.apadventures.net\/images\/bidingTime\/4.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.apadventures.net\/images\/bidingTime\/4.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nBiding our time: Reading<\/center><\/p>\n<p><center><br \/>\n<a class=\"imagelink\" rel=\"\u201dlightbox[bidingTime]\u201d&lt;p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.apadventures.net\/images\/bidingTime\/5.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.apadventures.net\/images\/bidingTime\/5.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n&#8230;and more reading<\/center><\/p>\n<p><center><br \/>\n<a class=\"imagelink\" rel=\"\u201dlightbox[bidingTime]\u201d&lt;p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.apadventures.net\/images\/bidingTime\/6.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.apadventures.net\/images\/bidingTime\/6.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nReading to Huckleberry<\/center><\/p>\n<p><center><br \/>\n<a class=\"imagelink\" rel=\"\u201dlightbox[bidingTime]\u201d&lt;p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.apadventures.net\/images\/bidingTime\/7.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.apadventures.net\/images\/bidingTime\/7.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nReading with mama<\/center><\/p>\n<p><center><br \/>\n<a class=\"imagelink\" rel=\"\u201dlightbox[bidingTime]\u201d&lt;p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.apadventures.net\/images\/bidingTime\/8.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.apadventures.net\/images\/bidingTime\/8.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nReading to dad<\/center><\/p>\n<p><center><br \/>\n<a class=\"imagelink\" rel=\"\u201dlightbox[bidingTime]\u201d&lt;p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.apadventures.net\/images\/bidingTime\/9.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.apadventures.net\/images\/bidingTime\/9.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nClimbing! on his own little segment of wall Paul built for him this winter.
