Potty training has begun. In my opinion it is definitely the worst thing about being a parent. Why can't they just come out potty trained? Anyway, it's been a full week with plenty of accidents, but its working. Lucas now has underoos on all day except at night. He went from kicking and screaming not wanting to go potty and peeing anywhere he chooses to telling me that he has to go and holding long enough to get to the bathroom. There was plenty of times I wanted to abandon ship, but he's not more stubborn than me! He looks soooo cute in underoos! Wesley is almost 4 months now and one of the sweetest things I have ever made! Here are some random pics:

Oh the many faces of Lucas..

Computer hog!

Loves grabbing this ball

Keeps trying to get it in his mouth..

It entertains all...

Look at those hair lines and blue eyes..

We had a little redneck fun going on in the backyard one afternoon when Alyson and Emily came over. They didn't want to do sprinklers so I came up with this..

Water slide...

Kiddie pool (a.k.a. sandbox)

Ta-DA!

Wesley and daddy enjoying the indoors

Not sure what was so fascinating..

Friends for life!!
 
Summer is definitely starting to burst through with temps in the 100's. We are trying to stay as cool as possible so there is a lot more of early morning/late afternoon activities. Swimming lessons didn't go well as I hoped. We got stormed out more times than we got actual lessons. Zachary and Lucas still had a good time. Zachary jumped right in and learned how to dive to the bottom of the pool. Lucas on the other hand didn't want to have anything to do with the swim teachers. So he just got to play around in the kiddie pool. Well at least he attempted. Zachary also was able to start Taekwondo at our local UMA Taekwondo. He has mixed feelings about it. He loves it and then he doesn't. I hope it changes the longer he does it. I like everything about the 'sport'. It's indoors (ha), they learn self defense moves and they work out really hard the whole entire time. Here is a clip of him and Master Thomas going through the first sequence in order for him to go to yellow belt.


First day

Looks pretty happy to me..
