Well Ben saw a little girl at his school take off her pants the other day and thought it was so funny that he has decided to de-pants himself every day this week. It started with him pulling them to his ankles and waddling around the house giggling and now is at the point that pants just don't stay on him...even at night. Thanks to the video monitor we are able to observe this bizarre behavior. His new nighttime routine once we put him in his crib is to organize and pile all the stuff in his crib (blankets, pillow, woobies and his jayhawk stuffed animals/football). He carefully places them one at a time to one side of his bed and then pounces on his pile of stuff with his butt in the air. The de-pantsing comes either before or after this ritual and then they get tossed from his crib so there is no chance of him putting them back on. Here's a pic from his naptime yesterday - and he is so proud of this as you can see.
He is also attempting to use the big boy potty. He actually went in it once yesterday!! Although he won't sit on the potty yet I'm hopeful he will soon since he was so proud of his feat yesterday.
As for Ashley - she is still doing great! She only cries if you take too long to change her or if she's really hungry although normally I feed her before it gets to that point. She's still eating every 3-4 hours but goes straight to sleep after the nighttime feedings which is awesome! Here's a few pics.
