MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND FUN

We had a busy Memorial Day! It started with us introducing Alex to his own potty. He was very excited about it. Here he is sitting on it, reading the directions (he must be gifted).

Before we opened it...we asked "Do you want to sit on your potty?" Well, he did...and didn't wait for us to open it.

Sit here? If you say so!

Okay now I'm smiling...this is sortof neat.

Now at bathtime we have potty time beforehand where he sits on his potty and we read 2-3 books. He'll also sit on it if he and daddy sit on the potties together. He did urinate in it once (sitting-thanks to the handy dandy MALE attachment) before bathtime but no repeat yet. We're not pushing it...just letting him sit on it when he wants to.

On Sunday I bought Alex this cute table/chairs on Craig's List and he was so excited. I had it in the garage to clean it...it is now in the computer room by our desk.

BIG smile!

Alex is still OBSESSED with lawn mowers. He will stand at the window and watch our neighbors for hours! Well, this weekend he and I were playing in his pool (at least we did for a while) but when Marc started mowing that was all she wrote. Alex had to have his mower out there too. Then, when Marc was weed-eating Alex thought it was the neatest thing ever and began imitating that, too (with his favorite rolling, distance marker). Here he is weed-eating around the drain.

Two cute yard helpers.

Hard at work...

Whew, weed-eating is hard work!

a stand-off...it was hard work on mommy keeping him far enough away from Marc so that flying debris couldn't hit him!

Alex likes to make a "fort" behind the large couch cushion on the lounge. He piles his toys and plays with them behind the cushion. He's taking a juice break here...

Memorial day hose play. There is a HILARIOUS video to this but it's too big to download. I'm trying to cut it in half and publish both halves together. More to come...

My boys...

Also over Memorial Day weekend we got out the kid's bike seat that our neighbor April gave us (thank you!!!) and Marc put it on my bike. Alex woke up from his nap when we were almost done and was ready to go. Here he is helping (helmet already on).

ready to help pump up the tires...

and weeeeeee here we go. I take him for at least a short ride almost every day now. He LOVES it and says "a bike" over and over again throughout the day and in the garage when he sees them hanging.

wearing mom's shades...

Scooter "ride" that was actually on 4/23/2009..but still cute.
