Potty Adventures

Some good ol' Logan quotes:

"nice hair, Mama"

After putting a new blanket on his bed: "oooo, soft!!"

Me: "do you need to use the potty?"
Logan: "No. I racing. Two minutes." while he races his cars around a track.
Guess I tell him "two more minutes!" pretty often! Haha!

Logan on the potty: "I can pee!"
Me: "Doesn't look like you have any more pee, buddy. That's ok, we can try again later."
Logan: "No, I buy more pee. At the store."

The best part about all of this is that most of the time, he's telling me all of this while wagging his index finger at me. I feel like someone should be standing in the background saying "You got TOLD!" while Logan talks to me.

Today he was quite the little chatter box...but not really the good kind. On days that he's more tired than usual (sheesh, he should be exhausted all of the time since he never naps, but I digress), he tends to repeat himself. Over and over and over, all day long. It can drive a person batty. Lucky for me, it turned out to be a good afternoon to watch a little of the Cars movie until daddy got off work ;)

As you can probably tell from Logan's weekly quotes, these past three days have been spent doing potty training! Ohhh boy! I really wasn't planning on starting any time soon, but he pitched such a fit the other day about me wiping him during a diaper change that I told him that unless he wanted to start wearing underwear, this was it, buddy. Apparently that was enough inspiration since he sat up and demanded to use the potty. Well ok then! The downside of this is that I was completely unprepared. I did have a few pairs of underwear stored up and a frog potty from way back when, but that was about it. We ventured out today to the store to buy more underwear and a potty ring for the big potty. And so far, success! First two days we had two accidents apiece (both after 3pm), and today we only had ONE accident! :) and that one was partially my fault - I made him laugh really hard during dinner and peed in his pants. But he was so genuinely upset about it that I think it wouldnt have happened if I hadn't made him laugh.

Tomorrow will be our first 'real' outing with underwear. Today we went to story time and Target, but I had him pee in the car potty before and after each activity so we wouldn't have any issues. Tomorrow, however, we're going to Playmobil FunPark...which doesn't have easy access to the car for potty visits and isn't a short activity - most likely we'll be there for 2 hours and have to use the public restroom...yikes!!!

And just so I don't leave out my other munchkin...Blake just popped his 3rd tooth through yesterday! What a big kid :)
