Nate took his car along, lots of room to ride and things to run into!






And to note because I realize its not something I'd take pictures of but want to remember some day but Max is potty trained! I won't say we don't have accidents but for the most part he's been doing it for weeks and doing a great job. We used m&m's, a sticker chart leading up to new "Cars" movie (which he didn't even make it through the whole thing but seemingly had fun if you ask him), and lots of matchbox/hot wheels cars (luckily they're only $1). I really felt like he was more ready this time so we just went for it (I wanted time to do one more try before he turned 3 if this didn't work too!) and it went much better than our first try in January. The first few days he'd only do it if he had no bottoms on at all which was good but kind of kept us housebound. Then we worked up to wearing underwear (Cars of course) and went from there. Now we're even able to take him out in underwear for shorter trips and he'll use public restrooms (or trees). We still do pull ups for naps, long car rides and then sleep diapers for bed but we're pleased with how its going. I'm SO happy not to be buying diapers for 2 anymore!
