Before I get to the photos, I'd like to mention that Lucas had a new milestone tonight, one that came out of the blue actually. It was the first time he used the toilet. Not only did he use a toilet, but it was an adult one. Though come to think of it, that's probably not that uncommon. Anyway, Marilu was holding him over it just prior to his bath since almost without fail, the first thing Lucas does when he gets in the bath is pee in it. So we gave him a chance to take care of that tonight. The attempt was half successful. No pee but he did manage to poop. Just another step down the road to getting rid of diapers, I guess.
So, back to December 31. Adult life is truly on pause for now as evidenced by our attendance of kid-friendly New Year's Eve parties. Since kids can't even stay up to the New Year's, it's not really the same thing, but what is, nowadays? Besides, I can't recall the last New Year's Marilu made it to midnight either so it's probably for the best.
Earlier in the day, before the party, Marilu was folding laundry and Lucas decided my boxer briefs would look just wonderful on his head. Hence, the following...
Once we got to the party, Lucas spent like 20 straight minutes at or near the food trays. All the other kids are playing and there Lucas is, chowing down like we never fed him. I guess that's proof he IS my kid.
Houston, we have a problem.
He hasn't stuffed things down his shirt in a while so that phase may be over. So hold on to this picture for the happy memories.
We tried to get all the kids on the couch for a group photo, but it was impossible to get full cooperation. Lucas actually waited patiently for a while, but at some point, even he decided enough was enough.
During the party, they simulated the dropping of the ball. Like any smart male, Lucas took advantage of the opportunity to steal some kisses from the ladies.
And finally, a couple of photos with Mom and Dad.

The milestone post was a good one. Just remember it was probably luck that he used the toilet, but nonetheless it is a step closer to being diaperless. Keep up the commentary as well as the great pictures.
The stuff in the shirt still makes me laugh. ;)
I have been wishing our house isn't for sale so I could put the potty out again since Thierry also pees right after you take his diaper off before bath time. I figure it would be wise to at least stick him on the potty every night and see what happens. Never even occurred to me to put him on the toilet. Duh.
