Growing Up

My little boy is growing up! We started potty training this month and he is doing really well! We started using a sticker chart, which was very exciting for the first couple weeks, but we were constantly telling him to go potty. He has no problem going pee in the potty, but the other part we haven't convinced him to do yet. I've tried bribing him with chocolate lollipops and new toys and games, but still no luck. He tells me, "It's too hard Mommy!" I'm sure he will do it when he is ready, but it would be soo nice to be done with the pull-ups and diapers! At least he has moved on to telling us when he needs to use the potty and has even gone all on his own. When he goes without us reminding him he gets an M&M, but this kid is too smart! Once he went potty 3 times in 10 minutes just to get the M&Ms!!

Here he is with his full sticker chart!
(The blank rows are the 3 days when he was at Grandma's)

His reward was getting to make cookies "all by myself!"

He also moved on to drinking out of a big boy glass with his meals.
We are so proud of him! He hardly ever spills :)

Another first...his first painting!!
It quickly turned into his first finger painting!

We don't have too much more to report for February...other than that Ryan and I got to enjoy a lovely Valentine's Day cocktail party at Jackie's house. You know I just LOVE an excuse to dress up!
