Kodak Moments

My recent favorite kodak moment - I am so glad I had my camera in my car! The boys and I went to the pool today. In typical fashion, Mitchell didn't want to nap today, so he was exhausted. I had to run by the store to pick something up really quick and Mitchell feel asleep in the cart. Yes, you may notice that he has rain boots on. He demanded to wear his "fire boots" to the pool "because they can get wet"...makes perfect sense, right? :)

So here he is...in his pool gear, sleeping in the grocery cart using my purse for a pillow with his rain boots on the wrong feet!
Sweet little Maverick is just an innocent bystander. :)








We recently joined a playgroup. Our neighbor and friend was already a member, so we tagged along to a few playdates and enjoyed ourselves, so we joined. Today's event was a "Treasure Hunt" in the sand at a local park. Here he is checking out his treasure!









I really thought Maverick was learning to like his cereal more and more...but he's taken two steps back again. He will digest some, but doesn't seem overly interested in it. We'll see what happens when we switch to veggies & fruits in a few weeks! He may not care for the cereal much, but he sure looks cute posing with his spoon!






Potty training woes....ugh....frustrating! After a little web research, I decided to put Mitchell thru what I like to call a potty training "boot camp" on Sunday. I had Jacob take Maverick out, so that Mitchell and I were alone in the house for 5 full hours during which time we focused on nothing other than the potty. At 4 hours and 53 minutes, he finally went pee-pee for the first time in the potty. It was a long day, to say the least. I was worried about what today might bring...and my fears came true. He did not use the potty once all day :( I think we're back to where we started. I guess he's just not ready yet :(

Here he is yesterday "showing his bear how to potty" and being rewarded with a push-up popsicle.




Here he is in his favorite Buzz Lightyear underpants....apparently he doesn't like them enough to keep them dry though!


Mitchell rewarded his bear with a red jellybean...but the poor bear couldn't eat it off of his eye!



"How do I get these things back up?"

This entire post is absolutely hysterical!!! I was cracking up at the shopping cart picture, then reminicing about potty training and laughing at the bean on the bear, but the VIDEO..it takes the cake! He is so hilarious!!!

Love your updates, it is like my life via boys. :)
Have you tried bottomless? no underpants, or anything? we did that and told Kate how sad we would be if the pee pee got on the floor(we stuck to wood floor and tile areas). We would set the timer for every 20 min and if that didn't work and she would start to go she would stop when it would drip on the floor and we would wisk away to the bathroom. Also super hydration is key so they have to pee a lot and get used to the sensation. Good luck, it is a process, we are still working on staying dry at night!
