We started potty training Alex this weekend and after a few days ‘naked’ (just undies) staying at the house he is doing great and staying dry. We’ve taken him to the grocery, to take Brooke to and from camp, and to play in the BIG KID section of the gym since he is doing so well! Everytime he stays dry and goes potty he gets a sticker on his chart and a matchbox car after 10 stickers. He has been doing great and getting a car every day. Way to go Alex!
Brooke and I enjoyed a few minutes of quiet to do some painting while the boys went to get haircuts one afternoon. She painted a purple turtle with ballet shoes, a rainbow with a teddy bear, and a lemon tree with a lemon and a bug with long skirt.
Now that Brooke is comfortable using a ‘big’ knife to dice already prepared pieces I have moved her up to full prep (starting with the whole vegetable). Since we are eating a lot of bell peppers from our garden she is a pro at halving, cleaning, and slicing one start to finish. She helped prepare these for roasting with the radishes and then learned to egg wash and coat pork chops with homemade panko topping. (Don’t worry, that little thumb was tucked- she knows 🙂
Yesterday we went to Chesapeake City Park to enjoy their 4th of July festival. We added our own fun with snazzy shades and glow sticks! We ended up being right under the firework show too!
Upon waking from nap today Alex was making a bunch of funny faces!
