Big boy potty

Well, I decided to be brave and attempt to play outside today with the kids. It was just too nice to stay inside...and we actually had fun! Here are the two kiddos ready for our adventure:

Finn asked for sunglasses when I put mine on, so I thought, "Why not?" He left them on the whole time and didn't mess with them at all! I was impressed.

Peanut looked super cute in her bunting. She hasn't been able to wear it because it would be too warm for her in the car seat, but it was perfect for a day like today, and I think we'll have plenty more of them!

The three of us walked up and down our street two times and then daddy came home and we walked around the block. I really enjoyed the time with Finn because I realized every time I need him to walk somewhere, we are in a hurry and I'm always dragging and hurrying him along. This time, we had nothing to hurry for and could go whatever speed he wanted/needed to. And he, of course, stomped in every puddle he could find, which I think is great! Maybe I should invest in some galoshes!

Finn has a big boy potty! Becky brought Austin's potty chair over yesterday and Finn loves it.

He kept wanting to sit on it last night (clothed) but today, he told me he had to go poopy (which I'm beginning to realize is actually potty!), so we took his pants/diaper off and he sat on it, but didn't go. It is still a little too big for him (my poor boy with the super short legs!), but it is better than the big toilet. I still think he is too young and not ready, but Jim thinks he is ready. So, we'll see. It sure would be nice to only have one in diapers, but I'm not holding my breath any time soon ;)

Finn has been obsessed with hockey lately. Don't ask me how or why, but he is (much to mommy's chagrin). I've given up saying, "Hockey...boo" in my attempt to brain wash him and think it is probably time to get him a real hockey stick since he already broke one of my "hockey sticks:"

We looked at Target this week and were disappointed that they didn't have any hockey sticks. Hmmm, I'll have to look online or at Toys R Us or something. How can you deny a child something they love so much?!?!
