The Birthday Boy

It's official...last week our little guy turned 2!!!!! I know, we can't believe it either...we had a fun pool party for him on a beautiful day with cute beachy/shark cupcakes and he loved every bit of his party. He's such a water baby--he lasted hours going in and out of the pool and ended up falling asleep on auntie Danika's shoulder on the walk back home. He's growing up so fast...and still looks just like daddy! I don't mind that EVERYONE still says that--daddy's cute so I'll take it as a compliment!

Now that I'm off for the summer with him he's my little cling-on. Aside from him being sick last week, we've been going to all kinds of parks, Kidville--for open playtime, gymnastics, and music class, Play Werks, swim lessons at the YMCA, Barnes and Noble for story time (although he only lasted 9 minutes when he walked away and went to play with the train set for 45 minutes!), our pool, Lawrence Welk Resort, etc. Our days are busy but so much fun!

I'm trying to potty train him and so far he's loving going poo in the potty! He's been going #1 for a while but I was having a hard time getting him to go #2 until a few weeks ago. I have to bribe him with M&M's but hey, whatever works, right? He gets so excited every time he goes and says, "Mommy, poo poo M," meaning he wants to go poo poo so he can get an M&M. After he goes he claps and says "Bye bye, poo poo" as he flushes it away. Maybe the picture is just TMI but this was his first one and we were both so proud! I called grammie as it was happening to tell her that Sawyer went poo poo in the potty but her ears aren't the best ever and she said, "What???? Sawyer is scuba diving in the toilet?" Oh, grammie...just look what your boy did!
