With all the icky weather this week we had to find something to do to stay entertained. We made a really great homemade play dough today. The boys had fun playing and I didn't feel like I needed to do the finger sweep quite as fast when Sutton tried eating it!
This week I've taken on potty training Macalan AGAIN! Hopefully this time sticks. He's had more accidents than successes and I'm starting to run out of fun things to entice him to sit on the potty. We aren't above bribery either. Kyle bought a bunch of the new cars from Cars 2 to try to get Macalan interested. Each time he goes on the potty he gets to pick a new car. I plan on having him go 2 times, then 3, etc. as he gets better so that eventually he won't need the extrinsic reward. Sutton has really enjoyed sitting on the potty chair when it's not in use by Macalan so with any luck he'll be ten times easier to get into undies!
Speaking of Cars 2, we are really excited for the opening on Friday! We've made plans to go with one of Macalan's daycare buddies so it should be fun. I think we're more excited than Macalan is. Although he did get pretty excited today when he saw there was only 2 links left on his Cars 2 paper chain count down.
I included a picture of the new cars he has earned so far with potty training.
