Potty Training

This is a post I will show Aldo one day and he'll be embarrassed by it. Haha! Anyway, Aldo is officially daytime potty trained! YAY!!! He does really well with asking to go even when we're at the store or someone's house. We're still working on nighttime which is much harder. Aldo loves to relax in bed when he wakes up so we're having trouble getting him to use the potty right when he wakes up. He's super proud of himself though and so are we!

It's very close to our house so we ride our bikes there to stay away from all the traffic. Last year, Eliel got bored and didn't want to stay until the end. This year, we stayed until the end and even watched the street cleaners come by and clean up after the parade was over. Our town's parade lasted about an hour and half and Eliel loved every minute of it! He was constantly awed by the trucks and bands that paraded by and loved grabbing the candy and other treats the parade walkers threw out as they walked by. In addition to tons of candy, Eliel received two water bottles, a t-shirt, a fake tattoo, and a banana from the local grocery store (such a cool idea!) Once Eliel realized that we would let him eat some of the things they threw out, he was like a m...
