BIG Boy

Who can resist these cheeks??
We have been seeing a lot of them lately!!! We are trying the naked potty training method after many attempts (and failures) with potty training! It has been interesting to say the least! We started it yet again after he showed interest at his Grammie's house during the day on Tuesday. So Wednesday morning I decided to just let him run around naked and let him learn what it feels like when he has to go to the bathroom and teach him where it needs to go! After a few puddles and a few strong-willed "discussions" to get him to sit on the potty, we are making progress!!

We had our family BBQ at the park today in South Lyon and along with our car full of our usual stuff came the potty chair (we no longer can leave home without it!) It seems kinda mean to make him sit there and watch everyone play, but it actually worked as great motivation (OK, so did the cookies Grandma Char kept giving him) to have him use the potty and then he could go play. Maybe we need to go the park everyday :) He ended up keeping his underwear dry for over 4 hours while we were there. I was not sure how the transition from naked to underwear was going to go, but Andy and I were quite shocked that he did awesome and had NO accidents today!

Mason was a bit hesitant to share his Fritos with the twins. After all, it is kind of embarrassing to have to keep pulling your pants down at the park in front of everyone, he deserves his own chips!

Play-Do time or potty time?
BOTH! Gotta motivate him somehow!
