Potty training ... take 2!

This week we are revisiting the potty training. I have been watching you, Luke, and I KNOW that you can physically do it. Now, whether you care enough to do it is another story. Nonetheless, I have decided that this may not be easy now, but it is going to be even harder when I have a newborn in the house ... so here goes ....

• Monday was a disaster. I think we went through 6 pairs of pants.


• Tuesday was a bit better, with less accidents.


• Today, Wednesday, you had NO accidents! A few weeks back you spotted some very special Thomas the Train underwear while we were shopping. I told you then that we would come back to get them when you were using the potty. I picked them up recently just to have on hand when "the time" arrived. Tonight, you were rewarded with a pack of Thomas underwear - and you couldn't have been more pleased!

Keep up the great work :). We're so proud of you!

Meeting Thomas

As part of Luke's birthday, we wanted to take him to ride on a train. It just so happened that Thomas, the most famous of ALL trains (if you're 2), was visiting town this past weekend. So, obviously, we booked our tickets.

I think that it might have been the highlight of Luke's life :)! He LOVED riding on the train. Roaring Camp has a regular train schedule, so we will be going back soon for some more train rides!

All Aboard!


The Train Ride (they played Thomas music the whole way!):



At the end of the ride, as we were getting off and the music was still playing, Luke decided to dance a bit. The conductor thought this was so cute that he joined in:


And then, the conductor punched Luke's ticket:

There were tons of other Thomas-related things to do (face painting, tattoos, models, Sir Topham Hatt, etc.), here Luke is at the sing-along (dancing, naturally):
