Spring and Family

Man, the weekend passes as quickly as it gets here. But at least this one was welcomed with visiting family and fun.
I'm glad I remembered to take some photos. Even if it was only for a few minutes...... :)


Grandma and her two littlest boys.....

Family.... :)

My boys.......

OH, how I love them so!!!

and this one of Cindy's face cracks me up. Apparently, the bird was TOO close to the kids... haha!

There are a few more photos. If you want to see the rest..... here is the  Set on Flickr

I love us. I love my family. And most of all, I love being around them more often.

Btw.... Ryden stayed dry all weekend. Even with the excitement of family staying with us, going to the fair (which he LOVED), going to the picnic or.... you name it!
Today completes two weeks of dryness on his part. I believe he is potty-trained, and I feel safe saying that for sure.
When I first started with the potty, Ryden was so young. I am not sure where I really thought we would end up. I hoped for the chance to give him the choice to stay dry from early-on, and maybe even early potty independence in the process. But I never wanted to put any grand expectations on him. And one day, I just figured we could try. And this is where it has lead.

Even though Ryden had the head start of using a potty for much of his life and considering he is definitely brilliant ( :) )... I know that he is not an exception to most toddlers.
Just ask any grandparents (pre disposable diapers) to tell you at what age their kids were potty-trained.
And having the time to do it, the patience and the consistency is also part of the success.
This was never a race... just the chance for him to decide. :)

love,

Sanford and Fun
