Potty-Training

Wyatt has shown some interest in potty-training for a while. He would randomly run to the bathroom and pretend to go pee, he would help us flush the toilet, he would ask to sit on the toilet, and last week he even peed in the toilet. We have been trying to hold out until after the baby, but decided Wyatt was telling us it was time. So we had a potty-party. All three of us stayed in the main living area of the house for a few days, had lots of liquids and juicy snacks, and put Wyatt on the toilet too many times to count. Wyatt also loved playing with all his new birthday presents and may have watched too many videos on the iPad while sitting on the toilet. After three intense days of potty-training Wyatt seems to have it. He still has occasional accidents and we have to remind him go potty every hour or so, but he doesn’t always hate it.

Happy 2nd Birthday Wyatt!

Wyatt turned two this week. He was quite excited for his birthday and would tell us he was now two and that it was Wyatt’s birthday. He kept singing “Happy Birthday to Wyatt” as well. We didn’t do anything big, just cake and ice cream…and lots of presents. You can see all of the presents he got in the picture. Travis had a bundt cake with a train on top for his second birthday, so we did the same thing for Wyatt (even using the same bundt pan from 27 years earlier). The trains on top of the cake may have been Wyatt’s favorite present, even though they weren’t really intended as one of the presents. Funny what kids do—you give them nice presents and they are more interested in the box it came in. Overall he loved his day and didn’t want it to end.

 

Missionary Family Night

For family night a few weeks ago we talked about missionaries. After the lesson Wyatt took

Vegetables over to grandma and papa. He was dressed like a missionary, knocked on their door, and told grandma about church clothes, Jesus, baptism, and temples. So cute!!!
