Ready to Potty Train?

Tonight Tyler came over to me and layed down like he needed to be changed. He'll usually do that when he has a stinky diaper. I checked and told him he wasn't dirty. Then he got up and went to the bathroom saying,"potty" and started to pull down his shorts. So, I put him on the toilet and he just sat there. I stood him back up and went to get him a new diaper and he went potty on the floor. If only I had kept him on the toilet a little longer. I am shocked that he did this. I don't know if he knew what he was doing or if it was just a fluke. Last week was the first time I even sat him on the toilet and that was just before a bath. We'll see if what he does tomorrow. Maybe we need to go buy a potty chair.

Fiddlestiks

We went to Fiddlestiks Indoor Playworld today with our friend, Julia and her daughter, Hannah. It wasn't the fanciest of places, but the kids had fun. There were lots of activities to do: play kitchen, music, slide, dress up, puppet show, an art area, play at the tool bench, and then they had a big area with lots of that cut up rubber to dig in, shovel, like sand. Anyone know what I'm talking about? Maybe you'll be able to see it from the pictures.

Rain Boots

I bought these boots for Tyler the last time it rained, but he wouldn't wear them. I've had them sitting out and he finally starting trying them on. So, today since it rained, we went outside in them. I tried to show him how to splash in some puddles, but he didn't want to. He walked across the yard a few times in them and was ready to take them off.

Festival of Tails

Saturday we went to the Festival of Tails. Tails for the kite tails and dog tails. Tyler wasn't too interested in the kites, but he loved all the dogs. Tyler with a big St.Bernard

Watering Hole

Tyler received this water/sand activity center for Christmas. With the nice weather we got it out. I haven't gotten any sand yet, but we filled it up with water. Tyler and Wrigley both enjoyed drinking out of it.

Fun with G & G Chambers

Like my last post said, my parents were here last week and we had such a good time. Tyler warmed up to them right away and had lots of fun. He loved playing with my dad and liked to sit in my mom's lap and give her kisses. They taught him how to say, "wow" and "man." Here are some pictures of from their visit.
Tyler liked Grandpa to put him in through the top of his tent.

The Safari

My parents are here this week-yes, it's a bad week weather wise. They were hoping for some warm weather since it's still cold in IL. This is the worst weather we've had since we've lived here. Oh well. We're still having fun. We went to the Safari today and it was really neat. It's on 400 acres and you drive through it and see all different kinds of animals. Some will even come right up to your car and you can feed them. Tyler had lots of fun. They also have a petting zoo.
