Toilet time

Today, while grabbing diapers, it occurred to us that maybe we should engage Anders in his toilet experience instead of guessing or bribing him to spend time on it. So, we let him pick out an accessory, which happened to be a Sesame Street themed soft seat that fits on top of our toilet seat. He was very excited. So much so that he walked and carried it all the way to the checkout line (as opposed to being carried himself, his usual preference). 

When we arrived home he immediately started upwrapping it and sat right up in the potty. Nothing happened. He climed off and peed in himself and decided to climb back on. Ryan brought him his potty book, which we happily read. In the end, after almost 30 min, he peed on his hands and seat, but there was pee!

Birthday night escapades

It's Ryan's birthday! We're lucky to be able to celebrate him. It was a mellow day with a dinner at home together (we've got bigger plans for tomorrow). Anders isn't feeling his best so needed a little extra TLC. 

One of his favorite things is to touch touch tongues. Maybe a little odd, but, he's still young. We can use these pics to deeply embarrass him later. 


He also was very helpful while Ryan blew out his candles.

Playing catch

We were going to play basketball but he found his mitt and demanded we play catch. Yes, I know just how incredible that outfit is. 


Concentrating in the command center.

Coffee house

Anders throughly enjoyed his first coffee house drink this past weekend, milk mustache and all.

Underwear

LeAnn and Adela brought us a bag of hand-me-downs from their nephew, Lorenzo, which included some underwear. Anders has been very interested in the underwear and this morning stripped himself of his clothes to put a pair on. He's still wearing them and I'm really hoping he doesn't poop in them! Here's hoping underwear can be a carrot towards toilet training. 

(Working on not saying "cheese" for the camera)

*Update - he did in fact poop in the underwear. It was fairly epic and was resolved in a bath.
