We have made the mad dashes in public places...we have used our portable potty when we were out with no bathroom in sight...we only wear pull ups at night and most nights he wakes up dry or gets up and needs to go potty and with the help of a potty chart for #2 I think we are officially done...other than one accident with #2 in 2 weeks! So I think I will do the happy dance or is it the pee pee dance either one...it doesn't matter to me this mommy and daddy are dancing and so is our bank account! People have told us that you feel like you have gotten a raise when your kid finally gets out of diapers...we shall see!
A couple of weeks ago Dalton saw a commercial for the "pillow pet" he had to have one! And the funny thing was I had saw them at the mall over Christmas and had almost bought one and then didn't! So we used this pillow pet as a reward...bribery to get him to do #2 on the big boy potty he just wasn't interested in it and was a little bit scared which is pretty typical! I knew he could he just needed a little PUSH! And the potty chart worked...5 poops later we were on the Internet ordering our pillow pet and after showing him ALL of the choices he remained strong that he wanted the lady bug...at least it wasn't the purple unicorn! He has always been a fan of the lady bug and Big Bird does have a friend named Mike the lady bug...not all lady bugs are ladies you know! The website said 3-4 weeks for delivery...really?!?!?!? So Dalton has asked every day since we ordered if the package was on each plane that he saw and then he watched and watched for the package truck to come to our house! Well much to our surprise less than a week later it was on our door step...sure glad I didn't pay the extra $9.99 for speedy delivery of 5-7 days since it got to our house that quick anyway! To say he was excited is an understatement...he was jumping up and down and then he kept saying he's smiling at me I think he likes me!
SEE...
he's a pillow and...
a pet...Dalton slept on him last night and says he is very comfy and I must agree they are VERY COMFY...maybe there is a pillow pet in this mommy's future...stay tuned
We also ventured to the pet store to get Dalton pet #2 aka fish #2! His cousins were kind enough to get him a fish and all the stuff for his 2nd birthday when he was VERY MUCH into Elmo but that fish just wasn't very excited to be at our house and did not last very long and luckily Dalton doesn't remember too much about it! He has been wanting a guinea pig and luckily the lady at the pet store said they recommend ages 7 and up for the guinea pigs...the only furry creature we will be having at our home will be a dog some day! So we decided to get a fish instead...of course he spotted the clown fish...NEMO right away...sorry no saltwater fish we have a small bowl. So we went with the ever popular beta...Crowntail male that his oldest cousin was kind enough to help him pick out! He has no name and Dalton has no interest in giving him a name and gets a bit grouchy when you ask...not sure why! Perhaps one day...I like the name firecracker...the fish is feisty and red...we shall see! So far so good Dalton is still interested in the fish and he likes to keep him in the living room during the day and in his room at night and has even given him his daily food! He likes to check on him and says that he's cute!
no name fish swimming in his new home with his friend Elmo to keep him company and of course Dalton's face is usually right up at the glass too
