Spring Break Day 2

Well I don't have any pictures from this day, but I wanted to post our happenings anyway. My Mom took us to the park for lunch and to see Alvin and the Chipmunks, the Squequal. It was cute, well at least the part of it that I saw. About half way through Ethan got bored and wanted to go back out to the lobby and play the car video game they had out there. Because he was unfortunately born to the World's Cheapest Mother, he didn't actually get to play, but watching the screen go through the credits with the car driving was good enough for him. Luckily for me I always carry a book in my purse. Yes, I know its weird, but sometimes it comes in handy! I spent the last half of the movie reading my book, and pretending to drive when Ethan said it was time. Loads of fun!

The kids spent the rest of the day playing outside because the weather was gorgeous! It was nice!

On another note, Potty Training phase 1 is done! Hoorah! After 2 weeks Ethan stopped having accidents. He is amazing. Its gone way better than I feared. Now on to phase 2, night training and getting him over his fear of big toilets. I have always night trained my kids immediately in the past and its worked, I really hope it works for him. The fear of big toilets is trickier. Elijah was very scared of this as well so I had Blake teach him to pee standing up and it cured it. Well, Ethan has seen Elijah pee standing up a million times and does not want to do it. My current strategy is to get him to use the big toilet with the nifty ring in it and then I will be carrying a bag with a potty ring in it everywhere we go! But, whatever works, right!
