Dylan loves his Harley Davidson scooter that my parents got him for his birthday. He can really go fast on it now and loves to go around the block or around the path at the park. Here is a little video of him in action.
Dylan has quickly become quite the backseat driver. This morning while driving I really noticed it is getting bad! As soon as we pull out on our street he starts telling me which way to go "This a way" he'll say followed by "slow down Mom" or "Stop Mom you are going to crash!" Mind you, I have full control of the vehicle and am driving very safely and within a reasonable speed, although apparently he does not agree! At stoplights he tells me to go the second the light turns green not taking account that the 10 cars ahead of me haven't started moving yet! I had to laugh this morning while we were in the car.....I was just wishing I could get everything he was saying on tape!
The fourth was a pretty laid back holiday for us this year. We didn't travel over the mountains so we had a restful day at home. After Dylan's nap we went to our friend the Becker's home for a BBQ. Dylan enjoyed playing croquet with the guys and feeding the dogs ice through the gate with another little girl at the party. Kevin bought him some little fireworks to enjoy before going to bed- he thought they were great fun!
I hope everyone had a great 3-day weekend and that you are enjoying the summer weather!
Do you ever just have one of those days??? Today was a bit of "one of those" for me! After working out this morning, picking up Robyn and Mike at the airport, and eating McDonalds at the park with Dylan, I came home and was ready to get in the shower. While I was drying my hair and getting dressed I let Dylan run around without a diaper on- he's been really good about going and sitting on the potty chair when he needs to if he doesn't have a diaper on so I didn't think much of it. After I dried my hair I heard Dylan yelling for me to come downstairs. I thought he just wanted to tell me or show me he had gone potty-- and he did- except for the fact that he had taken a giant turd on the living room floor!! I just couldn't believe it! In all actuality it was probably the funniest thing that happened to me all day and I couldn't resist taking a picture on my phone and sending it to Kevin while he was at work to let him know the all the fun he was missing (I know that's pretty disgusting). Only a couple hours after shampooing up that mess I was delighted to discover that Zoe had puked on the carpet....inches away from the hardword entry. So I got to haul the shampooer out again!
Anyway, just thought I'd share so you all could get a little laugh at my expense. Hopefully your day was a bit better than mine!
Potty training is in full swing at our home now- So far Dylan has made quite a bit of progress. We are still a ways from being fully trained (considering he still hasn't gone #2 which I'm anxiously waiting for!) but I'm optimistic he'll be there by the end of the summer- Woo Hoo!
