THE ZOO and Adventures in Potty Training

THE ZOO!
Tyler LOVES animals, so we joined the Zoo...haha we got a membership and have been 3 times already. He LOVES it!

First time we took Auntie Alexis who smashed her finger in the door...ouch...after the blood and ice, she didnt want ot let Ty down, so pain and all, she said lets go! (I think she will still lose the nail, it was bad). So we head inside, ride the little tram and head down the path. Ty was loving it! The next time, I braved it alone...it was a HOT day, but Tyler was so wonderful. It was a great Mommy and Me day, or TyTy and mommy day...there will be lots more of those...So Tyler had his first adventures with the Dippin Dots...

We went again last Sat, and we took daddy this time. They had a festival going on with belly dancers, and a Japanese dance show with a dragon and drums...ahh, yes drums! Ty's fave! We walked around and I took lots of pictures...

Tyler was totally into the Rhinos this time...haha I guess we missed them the last couple times...he was facinated. Notice TyTy's hair...Baby Mohawk! I call it the Tyhawk...so cute, and he is so proud of it. haha










Adventures in Potty Training...


Oh good Lord! It is not easy, haha but Tyler has mentioned 'poopies' to me a couple times, then started the production grunt, so we figured it was time. We have had some lucky moments in the last few months where he tinkled and was able to wave bye bye to his poopies, but now...here is the real training...
Where he is starting to understand...
Tim and I took him to Target to let him pick out his potty chair, we bought Elmo's Potty Time, and let him pick out his new pull-ups...Diego pull-ups it is...So we head home. We are currently on day 3. He sits on his little throne, but nothing yet.
Yesterday, I let Ty run around naked, without the pull-up...(I have heard of that technique, where you let them run and 3 day later they are potty-trained)...about an hour later, after running free as a bird all around the house he goes and gets his pull-up...starts to try to put it on and I asked him...'Ty, what are you doing" he looked at me and said " I want diaper on" so...there goes that technique..at least for now, haha.
Here is our little drummer boy...He is playing the song "brown girl in the ring" (a childrens game in Jamaica) by the Wiggles, He LOVES it! Here he is rocking out...Cheers...or as Ty now says "peace out" while giving the peace sign...(Thanks Uncle Jordo)haha
