So, this weekend we tried out potty training... It started out good - Drew liked the fact that his potty was in the living room! And he really enjoyed running around in his undies. (I'm not sure what it is about little kids liking to wear little to no clothing! Drew's new thing is when we strip him down for a bath he takes off running and dancing all over!) But after "trying" to potty on the potty over and over, it just got stressful for him. He really wanted the treats we were giving him for trying (Valentine's Day conversation hearts - he loves them!) and kept whining for them and freaking out when we tried to get him to sit on the potty first. And he was holding it and not going...until he relaxed and started playing with his toys. It was a learning experience for all of us and I think we've got some good ideas for next time when we try again - but we declared him not quite ready at the moment. Here he is playing with his new basketball goal that one of Chad's friends gave us.
After a day centered around the potty, we had to get out of the house. We headed to the park and let Drew run around. Here he is on the teeter totter, one of his favorites. 
Here he is on the slide...which he wanted to do over and over!
We also brought his big wheel, so he could finally try it out. It was a Christmas present from Drew's Grandmom and Granddad, but it has been so cold we hadn't gotten it out yet. He loves it - and he can almost reach the pedals. It won't be long - hopefully by summer, and he'll be driving it all over!
Today it got up to 65 degrees, so we headed outside again. Drew mowed our barely-there grass and went for a walk around the neighborhood with me.
Cheese!
