"I Peed on the Potty!"
This past weekend was potty training weekend. We had been putting it off for the last few weeks because we had family come and go, and we did not want Eli to get too distracted. Aaron's Mom, brother and nephew were in town to find a house for Brian, but we decided to go ahead with it.
We pretty much loaded Eli up with fluids and had a timer going every 30 minutes and sat him on the potty. He did really well! We had three accidents the first day and about two on Sunday. On Monday we showed up at daycare with underwear on and about five changes of clothes.
Monday, Eli had only one accident and that was when they were playing outside. The teachers said that's when most of the accidents happen because the kids don't want to stop playing. We've had a few poopy accidents. Eli is just having a hard time with that, and it's fun to clean up too ;o)
Keenan is trying to roll over. He's such a happy baby. He's ticklish too! He's already belly laughing too. I love it! His hair is still a little crazy, but I love the chunky boy!

Funny Things Eli Says
Eli has been asking me, "Are you Cherie?" then he goes up to his Dad and says, "Are you Aaron?"
This morning I asked Eli if Keenan was crying, Eli said, "No, he's all better".
Aaron was getting Eli ready for bed and we were talking to each other, Eli said, "Dad, no more talking to Mommy, read to Eli."
When he plays with his trains or other toys he actually has them using dialogue. He was playing with his dinosaur bath toys and he was taking one dinosaur saying "Hi, how are you?" then taking the other dinosaur, "I'm fine, and you?" so funny!

Fireworks go "BOOM"!
We had a very relaxing and fun weekend. Thursday night was a nice girls night drinking sangria, doing each other's nails, and walking to a neighborhood dive bar. Fun times! I did not get home until 2AM! What was I thinking?
Aaron let me sleep in, and thank goodness that he did, otherwise I would not have been productive at all! I got up around 9AM, and the house was too quiet, then I realized that it was EMPTY! Aaron took the boys on an adventure to First Watch, then the park. THANK YOU AARON! He informed me, that I owe him!
The rest of the day I cleaned and prepared for a little BBQ we were hosting for our friends and neighbors. My parents came into town as well. They were so excited to see the boys. They were amazed at how big Keenan was. Friends started to arrive around 6pm. Aaron put together a con-coction called "Gin Buckets", handed down from his aunt and uncle, they were pretty tasty. My dad thought so too. He was bright red after just one drink!
We had about 15 people over plus kids. Lindi and Ben were able to join us during their Kansas visit. Carina is a blast, she just says the funniest things! It was fun to watch Eli interact with the older kids, they are about a year older than him. Mom and Dad were a big help! At one point, I went upstairs to check on the kids, and my mom had them all sitting in a cicle while she read them some books. Around 930, people walked down the street to the high school nearby where they have a fireworks display. Aaron and I had not watched fireworks since Eli was born, so I was exicted for him to see them.
My Mom ended up walking with him and a group of our friends there. I had to feed Keenan, so Aaron and I ended up walking down a little later. We were unable to see our group until we were walking back. Our friends were telling us how Eli did, he said, "the fireworks go BOOM!". I guess on the way there Eli was so excited to see the fireworks, that he was pushing his stroller and running, he wiped out 3 times, and has some scraped up knees to show forth, but he did not cry.
When Lindi and Ben were getting ready to leave, Carina gave Eli a hug, but Eli just stood there. It was funny and cute. Eli was also pretty exhausted, he did not get to bed until 1030 or so. I went to bed past 11pm only to wake up at 515A to run with my running group.
It was just Becky and I. We ran 6 miles and I felt pretty good. After I got home though, I was so tired. I just wanted to lay in bed all day! Since my parents were here, I was able to! Aaron and i both slept off and on throughout the day while my parents took care of Eli and Keenan. It was so nice!
Sunday, Aaron and I were able to do some much needed yard work while my parents took care of the boys again. Eli was pretty tired so he took an early nap. Keenan slept quite a bit too. After a wonderful lunch my parent left to go back to Wichita and I took Eli to the pool. It was my first pool outing the whole summer! We ran into Bill and Elise, so she and Eli were able to play for a while. They were so cute together. Unfortunately I did not get any photos of the weekend! Bummer! I hope everyone has a great week!
