Potty Time

Reese got something new and exciting this weekend...

He is so excited about the potty! We have been letting him sit on it and he opens the lid, flushes, and closes the lid (I am training him right!). The potty plays a song when he goes in it. I poured a little water in so that he could hear the song and he giggled and danced around.

At this point, we are simply letting him sit on the potty. We have not made him try to use it. It is such a treat for him. He loves it! This morning he got really upset when I was changing his diaper. I told him he could sit on the potty if he would calm down. Immediately he dried it up and as soon as I put him down he ran to the potty.

I am thinking that we will wait until after Christmas to officially start training, but he sure is enjoying the preparation.

Pumpkin Time

I have never carved a pumpkin before and wasn't really sure that I wanted to tackle that type of mess with a 16 month old. Instead, we decided to paint Reese's pumpkin. A couple of weeks ago on Bryan's day off, we stripped the little guy down, rolled some paper across the floor, and squirted out some paint. I put some acrylic paint on to Reese's hands while Bryan held him still. Then, Reese put his hand prints on his little pumpkin. The prints aren't perfect (he was a little squirmy), but I think it turned out pretty cute.
