James is 2!

James turned 2 last week! He was lucky enough to have two parties. The first one was a birthday party with his cousins who also have August birthdays. We spent the day at Seven Peaks with my side of the family.

After the water park we went to a nearby park and had pizza, cake and ice cream. It was perfect weather that day. The park we went to was shaded and we had a great time visiting with family and the kids had fun running around.

On his actual birthday we went to the Highland Splash Park. My Mom, Katie and her girls were able to come celebrate with us.

We ate dinner at California Pizza Kitchen that night. What 2 year old doesn't like pizza?

Happy Birthday James!

We potty trained James the week of his birthday. He loves wearing his Cars "big boy underwear" but hates "big boy potties." He will go on his frog potty we got him but that's it. We've tried to get him to go on normal toilets and he won't whether it's at home or in public. So that means the frog potty travels everywhere with us. We had it with us in the car all day on his birthday. Every time he needed to go we took him to the back of the car and he went potty on the frog potty. It works but life would be easier if he would just go on a normal toilet. Any suggestions for transitioning to a normal toilet?
