Potty Training

Zach turned 3 in April, and I decided that no matter what he wanted, we were going to get the potty training done this summer. He was very attached to his diapers and he wanted nothing to do with wearing underpants.
So the Saturday after school started, we woke up in the morning, put all of the diapers where they could not be found and put big boy underpants on.
He was not too impresses, but went with it. (after all there were no diapers to be found anywhere in the house.



Here are two pictures of our first go at it. The first two days were not so great. We had accidents more than we made it to the potty. After he had the first #2 accident, he said, "well mom, I guess I will have to wear diapers again."



When the 3rd day arrived, I tried to put a pull up on him because we were headed to Park City to get some things from Home Depot. He was having none of the pull up. So we went with out little potty seat in tow and he made it to the potty everytime. He has even made it five days in a row with waking up dry (even though the diaper fairy comes in the middle of the night and puts a diaper on him.) Thursday we even made it with Zach asking to go potty, and he ended up with a #2. He is getting to be such a big boy and we are so proud of him.
He even tells me now, "mom, I'm going to try to potty so I can have a treat!" What a big guy!

Zachary's 3rd Birthday

This year Zach's birthday just happened to be on Easter Sunday. So we kind of celebrated all weekend long so that on Sunday we weren't hurrying to try to get a party in before we had to leave Green River and head back home.

So Friday night we let him open up a present from us so that he would have a chance to play with it during the weekend.

He was so excited when he saw that he got a Lightening McQueen Remote Control Car.

Kylie even picked out a few special things on her own for Zach this year.

A big dump truck from grandma and grandpa parsons + some clothes and pajama's for the summer. Now if it will just warm up I can actually let him wear them.

When we asked him what he wanted for his birthday he always said that he wanted a green ball. So this is the green one that we found.

Blowing out the candles!

First Day of School

I can't believe that we are heading back to school already. It seems like the summer just flew right by and we missed it.
Kylie is a big third grader now. So hard to believe that she is in the same class that I teach now.
Her new teacher is Mrs. Duffin.


Zach was mad because he wanted to go to school with us. He kept saying, "I go you!" So he was not about to get his picture taken. That is why I am in the picture with him.
