I have been slacking off a bit on the posts, not on purpose but just one thing leads to another every time I sit down to post. Nothing too exciting going on in the Phillips household. We are knee-deep in potty training with Ethan and I think I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. We had been giving him mini marshmallows whenever he went on the potty which seemed to be working until he realized that he could get M&Ms at school when he used the potty.Well, that changed everything so we too had to start giving him M&Ms at home. I was very reluctant at first but I have to say in the past 3 days that we have been doing it, he has seemed to grasp the concept so much more and will ask to use the bathroom all the time. We're down to using only 1 or 2 pull-ups all day! He is so funny, he is very clear that he need "privacy" when he goes to the bathroom and will walk in there all by himself, turn on the light, close the door and do his business. He is such a little man...where does the time go? We are crossing our fingers that he gets the hang of things in the next few weeks, he is so close.
Other than that, I am doing well with Baby #2, feeling good and trying to keep busy. I have another ultrasound on Tuesday which is always fun to see the baby and hopefully they will be able to give us a 100% on the gender. Right now they are 70% sure it is a boy but haven't had a *money shot* to see the goods.
What else....baseball season is underway and the Phillips family couldn't be happier. We are still die-hard Red Sox fans but since going to Fenway Park is out of the question, we have decided to get a share in season tickets to the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim (crazy name huh, they just changed it from the Anaheim Angels). We have 4 tickets to about 20 or so games this season and plan to take Ethan to a bunch. I used to go to Red Sox games all the time with my dad and I have such great memories of that and can't wait to start that tradition with Ethan.
I plan to get my act together soon and post some recent pics.

Yeah for potty training! I am so glad to hear that he is doing so well...gotta love the M&M's!!! I am also so glad to hear that baby #2 and you are doing great. I can't wait to know 100% boy or girl. I hope you get the "money shot" tomorrow at you u/s. Can't wait to hear whether I should be buying you pink or blue :)
