We all need changes.
Two months ago I weighed 185 pounds. My goal weight is 145. That means I was 40 pounds overweight. Today I weighed 173.8. My lowest in the past year and a half was 171.4, and that was a week ago. By June, I want to be down to 145. In two weeks, I want to be below 165. It's a gradual process, but I want to be fit and healthy again. The number 145 doesn't mean as much as the phrase "to be able to run one mile". By June, I want to be able to run one mile.
Nate's concern isn't weight loss. It's being able to potty on the potty chair. He's three and a half years old and yesterday, he still wore diapers. Today? Diaper free and wearing Thomas the Train underpants. So far this morning he has pottied on his potty chair twice, with no accidents.
Sammi is lagging a little behind on the changes bandwagon. She is a year and a half and still doesn't talk. She says "HI!!" She grunts. That's it. The doctor says if she doesn't start talking in the next six months, she'll need speech therapy.
Well, two out of three of us are working towards our goals. That's better than none.

My nephew was the same as your Sammi. He was 3 years old before he said anything substantial. He'd do one word blabbers that you had to know him to understand, and the very occasional clear word (like "no", that was his best one). Then at 3, he was suddenly talking in complete sentences. Like, within two or three days, he went from grunts and babble to "I don't want to go to bed now!" I think a lot of kids are like that.
Congrats on the weight loss, and congrats to Nate for proper potty use! :)

I said at 3, but I meant at 2. And actually, it was more like 2 1/2. He was born March 31 and I was almost back in school when he talked, so probably August. Details ;)
