The Aquarium and Potty Training

Our new favorite place to go on Joseph's days off is officially the aquarium. Kael and Aidan LOVE it! They were so excited to go again and we actually remembered the camera this time. Kael loves the jelly fish, the octopus, and the sharks. Aidan loves the rays and actually almost touched one this time. Kael on the other hand is terrified of them. We bought a year pass so it's free now since we have been twice. The problem is that to get out of the aquarium you have to go through the gift shop! They were thinking when they did this. We get stuck in the gift shop almost as long as we are in the aquarium. The good thing is that the gift shop has about a billion little plastic sea creatures that we got and have been using as "prizes" for potty training Kael. He is doing really well and loves to pick out which underwear he is going to wear each morning. His favorites are Go Diego Go, and his glow in the dark McQueen ones. Aidan loves the Buzz Lightyear ones and carried them around hugging them. (Don't worry...they have never been worn) Maybe we should just train him too?? I think we will just concentrate on Kael for now.

so how is the potty training going? Xander says no way, and Landen I think wants to but not sure that he understands what he is supposed to do....can't we just skip that phase of childhood...why can't they just all of a sudden know how...Anyways hope things are going good! I loved the picutres of your boys they are just too cute!

The aquarium would be so much fun! I think it's so funny that Aiden in braver. Brooklyn is usually braver than Cooper. How pathetic is it that his little sister can handle things better sometimes?! Anyway, I wish you were here because Cooper's having a little birthday party. If there's any chance you are coming this weekend, let me know, we are doing it on Sat. It would be so fun to see you guys! Have a good day. Good luck with potty training! It's such a joy!!!

The Aquarium looks like fun. I didn't know that Utah had anything like that. I guess Salt Lake is a little bigger than northern Utah. Hope the potty training goes well. I have heard that boys are hard to train. Olivia was a breeze. Girls make up for it in their teen years! Good luck! By the way, when are you moving to NE? This summer or fall?
