Working Man

Tyler is very big into helping us out, no matter what we are doing. He did his share of painting this weekend... which ended up with paint on his face, arms, stomach, hands, and legs. Luckily he has a short attention span and only wanted to help for a few minutes, so not too much damage was done to the carport. He was also helping his Daddy measure. We couldn't resist taking a couple pictures of him deep in thought over his tape measure.






He's gotten to be an accomplished counter, we can make it to 11 with no problems... after 11 he typically goes back to 8 and gets stuck on repeat. We're also making some headway with potty training. If the child could go around bare bottomed he'd be set... unfortunately clothes are required pretty much everywhere so we're still working on it. Since last Sunday night he has not had an accident when running around naked. He has used the potty like a pro all week long.... as long as he's not wearing pants! Now put a pull up on him and it's all out the window. If he wears regular underwear then he'll start to go an stop, but its not real effective. Our plan is to try boxers as much as possible, since they are loose fitting and don't feel like a diaper we're hoping it will help him adjust to using the potty even when dressed. It's hit or miss right now... but he does look adorable in his little boxers if nothing else!
