Diapers... I'm getting tired of them.
My little guy is almost 2 and a half. Big enough to poop like a man basically. It's disgusting.
I'm ready to start potty training him. He has a different opinion.
We figured the whole teeth brushing thing worked out pretty well (we don't even pay him anymore, he just brushes them now)... so why not try bribery for this as well?
He really wants this toy.
Yes that truck... all the way up on the top of that bookshelf. See it? He played with it at his cousin's house ALL NIGHT LONG (that's pretty long in two year old time).
We tried just telling him we would get it for him when he pee-peed on the toilet.
That didn't work.
Now we've actually purchased the truck and placed it all the way up there so he can't play with it. Once in a while we do get it down and let him hold it, but just as a reminder he can have it after he goes.
We'll see.
As for now it's a pretty awesome living room decoration. You should all get one.

Yes... it's been a while since my last post.
Yikes!
I've been moving to the new house I previously mentioned.
I will be back in business soon with great stories about our move and other fun stuff.
Stay tuned.

A Halloween favorite:
The Berenstain Bears and the Spooky Old Tree
by Stan and Jan Berenstain
This one is especially fun if you go back and reenact the actions after you read them... for example after the bears go up the stairs and the alligator snaps at them... I walk my fingers up the stairs until I get to the alligator, then I CLAP my hands and yell *SNAP*.
Asher giggles every time.

Gardner Village
1100 West 7800 South
West Jordan, Utah
We love the Gardner Village... but we really love to go there in October. They have a special witch festival with events every weekend. They also have witch displays everywhere... but not just normal witches, they are crazy animated witches that hula hoop, dance, fly (you get the idea).
There are a lot of fun shops to go through. I love the one with purses, the little shop with home decorations, and also Sassy Baby.
They also have a petting zoo and pony rides. The kids love it, but the line gets long FAST! Don't worry... they will give you hand sanitizer afterward too.
There are plenty of places for photo ops... like this one of my cute munchkin:
The best part... it's FREE! (Other than what you spend while you shop... and you will probably spend a little because there is just so much cute stuff.)
If you go, make sure you get some fudge at the candy store. AMAZING.
We like candy calendars at our house. You know the kind that count down to a holiday... you open a door (and get a piece of candy!) every day until the holiday comes.
My brother-in-law had a cool one at his house for Halloween, so of course I had to run right out and buy it.
Ash was playing with it while he ate. He called me over to show me how he had filled the doors with "treats."
Yes... bread.
What? You don't consider bread a treat?
