Potty update

Ok, so things are not going as smoothly today. Saturday was so easy, he was going on his own, etc. Yesterday we ventured outside, had a couple of accidents, two in bed last night, and two already this morning. Today I'm back onto the "method" in full force, hoping we can see success. I'm so sick of saying, "how are your underpants? Dry!? Good job!" and it's such a beautiful day today, but we're staying in! It's an investment. It's an investment. Stay tuned....

Cadence the Potty Animal!

Well, I was going to say that spring is really here, blah blah, but then we woke up to snow on the ground, and flurries all morning. Now, we're having a nice weekend, but I'm still not jumping and putting anything in the ground just yet.

And it all doesn't matter, because we're pretty holed up in the house all of this weekend--it's potty weekend! Cadence has done really well, overall. Essentially we're holed up in the house while he wears no pants (just underpants) and we encourage frequent potty use by pumping him full of liquids all day long. Today we broke the rules a bit & ventured outside, & were rewarded by two accidents. So tomorrow we're staying in, before we head back to the real world of daycare, bike rides, & walks etc.

A few weeks ago, we took a family trip to the dump, looking for potential things to salvage for some of the home reno work we're doing. We didn't find anything to bring home with us, but it was such a sobering experience. Cadence looks so thoughtful about the whole thing here, but actually he's just playing with the knobs on the car heater.



Pics from a trip to the playground. Now that the weather's nicer, we can bike down or walk after supper or after work. Great to have the option again!






At a yard sale, we picked up for 25 cents one of those microphones that sends a signal to a radio receiver. Here's Cadence interviewing Drew; I think they're singing Old MacDonald together.


Another yard sale find.


We had a fabulous Mother's Day here. Drew and Cadence made me fabulous crepes, and then worked outside--Drew completely redid our vegetable bed so it's now both level and deep enough. Then, they made a huge Italian dinner. It really was perfect. Thanks guys!









Potty weekend. Having fun with underpants. On and off. Oh, the fun.

Making popcorn in underpants.

He's now taller than the bucket tower! Phew!


Today, we had a camping theme--a big map drawn on the paper, notice the bucket mountain located in the backcountry. Of course we don't have people who go exploring, just toy cars. There was a wild monkey and a brown bear hiding in the bush, and a friendly Mrs. Potato Head monster to play with by the pond. In this picture, Drew & Cadence are inside the tent...reading books, I think. It's awful quiet though...
