2nd Birthday

I know it's late, but I just got these pictures from Chris.  Here is Carson enjoying his birthday cake.  He was very careful to only eat the frosting.

2 Year Photos

Thankfully, Emily assisted me in getting Carson's 2 year photos done...finally.  He's such a wiggler that it is really hard to get him to look at the camera.

Great Strides

The annual Great Strides walk for Cystic Fibrosis will be May 19th at Holmes Lake.  The walk will take place at 10AM.  There are snacks before and lunch following the walk.  Last year, we raised over $2,100.  Let's shoot for $2,500.  Please join our team by clicking the link at the right.  Together, we can make CF stand for "Cure Found!"

Spring Break

I was planning on spending my spring break potty training Carson.  Nope, not going to do it.  He's pretty much done all ready.  He's dry all day and is finally going at daycare now.  He just needs to work on pooing at daycare and staying dry at naps and overnight.  That I can work on. 

I bought some sidewalk chalk and we'll do that this week.  We may also go to Lost in Fun (if I'm bored) and possibly the Omaha Zoo.

Weekend of Potty Fun

We continued our little pre-potty training work this weekend.  Carson had a few dribbles in his pants today, but peed in the potty multiple times.  Granted, most of them were a few dribbles, but he did have a bigger one before dinner and during/before his bath.  He really likes flushing the toliet and washing his hands.  I plan on having those be incentives for him.  He even stayed dry for a diaper-free four hour nap.  I will do a hard-core potty training in three weeks at spring break, but for now, he's at least registering what it feels like.

Potty Time

I was giving Carson his bath tonight.  He said potty--his potty is next to the tub.  I put him on his potty and waited.  He got up to mess around, so he went back to his bath.  A couple of minutes later he asked for the potty again.  I put him on and he pulled the towel up over his legs and just sat.  He looked really serious and then I smelled it.  Carson was really proud of himself.  Hopefully he will continue to ask to go and we can get potty training done by summer.

Ball Pit

Grandpa Hermsen thought that Carson needed a ball pit.  Here is how many balls come with the pit:

 

 Here's how many balls grandpa thought we needed:

Sadly, there could be more....maybe another 150?

Here is the pit in action.  Notice that Carson goes and gets the balls that fall/get thrown out.
