Reliving our Summer - Part 2

A few miscellaneous pictures:

Lexi and Jinx staying close

playing with friends, L and E at McDonald's

lovin' the slide

yeah, we've tried going to a reward system to potty train, buuuuut...it hasn't worked.

nothing has worked.

boo keeps telling us he's trying not to go in his diaper, but he hasn't been consistent at. all. about telling us when he has to go potty.  he's at a new daycare now, where they have all the kids at least try to go potty at certain times and we're hoping that, seeing the other kids (most of whom, I think, are potty trained) going in the potty all the time, that he will finally want to do the same.  we've been too busy this summer to try to do a 3 or 4 day intense potty training session...once it gets cold and we're home more, *if* we're still working on this, we're going to have a go at it again.

we went to visit Chris' family for Father's Day and had a fun weekend seeing family and cousins that we don't normally get to see.

going to feed the geese with grandma

"here's the bread, ducks!"

(not sure why this uploaded sideways, but I can't get it straightened out, sorry)

they were following him like he was the Pied Piper.

did I mention, I do. not. like. geese.

I'm glad grandma doesn't mind them because Boo seems to really like feeding them!

he's becoming more and more daring in what he wants to climb and play on.

definitely keeps me on my toes!

Reliving our Summer - Part 1 (of many!)

Wow, we've had so much going on around here that when I do have free time these days, the last thing I want to do is sit down at the computer to write.  BUT, as this is supposed to take place of scrapbooks for Boo, I need to start getting some backlogged pictures up and discussed so that we remember all the fun stuff we've done already this summer before too many more adventures start blurring memories of the old ones!

Beginning of June, we went to St. Louis and spent a little time at The Magic House, a children's museum.

our mechanic

spraying mommy with the water gun!

this boy loves to watch the sand make the wheels spin!

he was also obsessed with this thing...

the tennis ball rolls down and rings all the bells along the way...

...then you get the ball from the bottom and put it back at the top, to start all over again.

I could have read a book for the amount of time he stayed at this one place.

Great attention span!

daddy trying to make a bubble around Boo.

except it doesn't work well when your son keeps kicking the bubble as it's being pulled past his feet!!

 We also got to go to two Cardinals games against the Cleveland Indians (so it was a win-win for me!).

on the train ride from our hotel to the stadium

awe-some seats!!!!!

at the end of the game, the owner of the team came down and was sitting in the front row seats you can see over Boo's shoulders.  :)

We got these great seats thanks to a childhood friend of Chris' and had a blast the entire weekend.  Boo did really well at the games and we couldn't be more proud of our boy.  He continually impresses us with how he acts in public (at home, he can be another child altogether!).  We met up with some friends who live there and the boys spent some time playing at the (very hot) playground.

Boo's mobile office!
my cell phone in one hand, talking to Grandma (I think), and either playing Angry Birds or watching Curious George on the Kindle Fire.  kids sure do grow up fast these days!!!
