Well, we are a few weeks into potty training. Halen has been doing so well. He even attempts to do it all on his own. He is very good about telling me when he has to go too.
We have eliminated any pull up or diaper at nap time. He goes potty before and after nap and doesn't have any accidents. He is still going sometimes at night, so we are still using a diaper for that. We tried pull ups at night, but when he has an accident he gets very upset and comes to my room. He does not like to pee on himself. In fact when he uses the potty, he strips off everything from the waist down so as not to pee on anything.
He still does not really like pooping on the potty. He tried to get to his potty chair during nap yesterday because I told him that if he had to go poop or pee to get up and try. I also told him to call for me if he needed help. He made it to the hallway and pooped his pants. What a mess! (no underwear)

Potty Time!
Well, it's that time. Potty training I mean. We started on Saturday (10/11) . Halen had a few accidents right away in the morning. To be expected!
He has went through every nap and most nights with a dry diaper. I had to take him to work on Monday to exchange with Carl. I put him in a diaper to be safe. He peed twice on the toilet while we were there.
He is doing very well with the whole thing I have to say. Other than Saturday, he has had only a couple of accidents.
However, he has not mastered pooping on the potty. I think he's a little afraid to be honest. When he pees, he jumps right off and announces his accomplishment. When he poops, he hides from us.
I have to devise a poop plan I suppose...lol

Fall Fun!
Well, Halen is still enjoying being outside. We have had some beautiful days to be outdoors. We got out his Thomas Bounce house and filled it with balls one day. We have been to the cider mill twice. Halen rode a pony and LOVED it! He kept telling the pony to "getty-up" Silly me forgot the camera both times. We also recently went up to the cottage for a couple of days. Halen's GG turned 89 last Monday, so we went to visit her while we were up north. When we were leaving I told him to give GG kisses and he did. He reached back and told me he wanted to hug GG too. He's only met her a couple of times, but seemed to really gravitate toward her. He wanted to push her around in her wheelchair too.
The other day, he was riding his fire truck on the patio. He pulled up to the basement window and said,"cappuccino please." Then he ordered himself some nuggies and fries. Then he took my cappuccino in the house and put it on the counter for me. So funny! I actually make cappuccino at home. I rarely order it out.
Halen is into washing his hands, especially after he eats. He always has to have a napkin during a meal because he does not like stuff on his hands. Spaghetti is an interesting meal. He thinks that once there is something on his napkin he should get a whole new one. I have to fold it so it looks clean again.
He and the dog have made a pact to drive me insane some days I think. They must secretly discuss which days to misbehave together ALL DAY LONG! The dog steals Halen's toys and Halen jumps on the dog. Funny enough though, Jager LOVES Halen. He gets very worried if Halen goes to visit a neighbor. He paces at the fence and barks & barks.
Halen's new great love......the movie Cars! I swear that I have had to watch it 30 times in the last two weeks.
I've included a new slide show of pictures. My favorite is Halen sleeping in the highchair up at the cottage. He was so warn out that he fell asleep mid dinner.
