Weekend Happenings

We have been potty training all weekend and wow this is a lot of work.  Our pediatrician told us Layton might be ready since he talks about it all the time and seems interested.  After two days of cleaning up accidents I'm not convinced.  Yesterday he had lots of accidents but made it to the potty once.  I got so excited and he got some stickers for his potty chart and his first potty prize.  He wanted the green play dough so he got to play with it yesterday.  He was so proud of himself.  Today he has had four accidents and no successful tips to the potty so we will see how tomorrow goes. 

Update: Since I posted this he actually went on the potty after holding it for 4 hours.  He kept saying he wanted to take a bath which I was afraid he would just go in the tub but it was bath time tonight anyways so I went with it.  He was dancing around acting very uncomfortable the entire time and I finally asked him to you want to try and sit on the potty?  So we dried him off and he actually did it on the potty.  Poor baby had been holding it so long.  My parents were over here tonight so Nana and Papa got to see him do it and he was so excited!  He got another potty prize and got to play with some more play dough tonight before bed.  I was getting really discouraged but I guess we will keep trying.  Today he was able to hold it for longer periods of time before going so maybe he is learning a little bit.  
If he isn't catching on more tomorrow then we are going to stop all together and wait a month or two and try again.  Most of my friends that have boys it seems like they have been closer to 3 so it might be awhile before he gets the hang of it.  I figured we could at least try and see what happens.  Here is a picture of Layton in his big boy underwear yesterday playing with his play dough.  This afternoon Clifton showed up with a dump truck to haul some dirt and Layton woke up soon after from his nap.  We took a ride with daddy in the dump truck and Layton had more fun.  Here are a few pictures from our little afternoon ride too. 


 Here he is tonight with nana


This is what happens when you give a toddler peanut butter and apples with his lunch.  He made the biggest mess today.
