Lagoon and Potty Training Part 2

Last week was pretty normal for us, until Friday. Dave's work had their Annual Lagoon Day, and we took Logan for the first time. He had a blast! He road every ride he was big enough for, and even started requesting his favorite. I think he rode the Whale 4 times.

He got to ride for about 2 hours, and then we headed over to Lagoona Beach for some swimming and water sliding. The water was a little cold, but Logan just loved it too. We had tears when it was time to get out and go to the work BBQ.

Afterwards Dave and I split up: Logan and I went with a few of the work wives with their kids and we rode more little rides, and Dave headed out with the boys for some bigger rides. He rode until about 9 when I insisted we head home. It was fun times, even if we were exhausted after.

This week we have been potty training. This is our second attempt (1st at 18 mo). It didn't go so well the first time because Logan didn't understand what was going on enough to self initiate. So although we weren't having tons of accidents, I was spending all day long (for 2 days strait) making sure we made it to the potty on time.

This time we had 9 accidents and 5 successes on day 1, 4 accidents and 11 successes on day 2 (with one self initiated success), and today we had 2 accidents and tons of success (all self initiated)! So it's been a messy and frustrating week, but we're seeing good results! Hopefully we will have this relatively down by Sunday for church... If not, at least we're the Nursery leaders.

Yesterday Grandma Sheila and Grandpa Mike gave Logan a bucket of treats for the 4th of July, and we spent this morning playing like crazy with them. There were bubbles, a shovel and bucket, some fake bones, an airplane, and a water gun. Logan had so much fun learning how to use a water gun. He figured out how to fill up the potty with it and tried to get treats... but somehow Mom didn't believe it was pee.

  1. Ugh, potty training. It literally took a year before Madelyn was finally "done". There is nothing worse!!! Especially when you have stubborn kids! Glad Logan is catching on this time.

    1. Yeah, it's a nightmare! I never would do this for anyone but my own kids. But he's doing great this time! Friday, Saturday and Monday he had no accidents. Sunday only accidents at church (it's the first time Logan had left the house).
