Jonathan Day 32
We finally had to go in and wake Jonathan up this morning at 7:45AM. The first thing he said was "wet". Not a great start to the morning but breakfast went well and Rick and Jonathan saddled up the stroller and started their daily walk. I took a call and was tied-up when Rick left a message on my cell phone saying "we had an accident with the stroller, come get us". Well the first thing that went through my head wasn't a very nice image. I called and Rick said they were at the Post Office (mailing pictures to Gramma V and K). Apparently, the stroller has a jogging feature and it wasn't on and Rick walks REALLY fast. SO, the wheel and carriage stated shaking really bad. No accident, not broken, just a Da Da that is looking to burn some extra calories :-)
After Jonathan's nap I took him outside and burned through an entire bottle of bubbles. Then I pulled him around in the wagon while Da Da gave the deck that last coat of stain. I hope this is the last time I ever mention the deck.
We ended the afternoon with a trip to the park and met a really nice mommy and her two kids. She had a 4 year old boy and a 2 year old girl. Jonathan watched them for about 15 minutes before he joined in and did played with the 4 year old.
When we got home Da Da had Jonathan help him water the trees in the front yard. I kept looking out while making dinner to make sure Rick didn't need help. JH can be a hand-full when you're trying to get something done. I ran to the basement to change out the laundry and heard Rick yelling "Daddy, can you grab a towel?" I ran up and saw a drenched little boy standing on the front porch. Jonathan started running in front of the hose and they had a little water fight. He was smiling ear to ear.
After dinner I put JH on the potty and after he did a little #1 I asked him if he wanted his big boy underwear on. He did as he always does and repeated my question so I took that as a yes. He played for about an hour and all of a sudden said "potty" and started to pull them down. We ran him to the potty and he did one of the biggest pee pees of the day. Fingers crossed for a dry bed tomorrow morning.
We put his PJs on and Da Da said bedtime and he actually walked to his room and climbed in to bed. I usually carry him tickling him to keep the mood up. I grabbed Bo Bo and said we have to tuck Bo Bo in and I kissed the bear and said goodnight Bo Bo. He leaned over and kissed him too and said "good night Bo Bo, I love you". We both got the double cheek grab and a kiss and a goodnight, I love you.

Hang in there. Potty training isn't easy. I promise it only gets better!
