Happy Birthday Eric!!!

Ok so Eric's birthday was two months ago but I couldn't let the occasion pass without posting something about it. We went back to Orlando for vacation and did Eric's birthday in two parts. We went to Disney on his actual birthday and then on that Saturday we had a famiy party at McDonalds. Eric got to meet Buzz Lightyear which at his age is like meeting the President or the Pope. He loved the Buzz Lightyear ride and loved playing at the fountain in Epcot. He loves McDonald's so this year his party was great! He danced with Grimace and had a blast playing in the game area. He got tons of presents which mostly were Toy Story related. He loved opening his gifts. We are so grateful for him and for all of wonderful joy he brings to our lives. He is an amazing and smart little boy who is super curious and very loving. We can't wait to see what our third year brings :)

Eclipse

Today Elmer and I went on a date to see Eclipse. First of all a big thanks for Ashley for watching Eric. It was a gret movie and we had a good time. The theater was mostly full and it was at 10:30 in the morning! We loved it!!! It stuck to the book better than the other two and the graphics were good. Best of all I got to watch it with my wonderful husband! I highly recommend this as a great date.

Independence Day and the Potty!

We have been attempting to train Eric for a while now. He showed very little interest in giving up his Pullups. We have used gummies and other various things to bribe him into going. I cringe every time I have to buy more Pullups. Finally yesterday he decided that using the potty wasn't a bad thing. He used it and he got lots of hugs and a sucker. What a great way to end our Independence Day! We have only had 2 pullup today and he has used the potty 3 times. I know this may not be a big, huge, world changing deal to some but to us it is the biggest thing since sliced bread and debit cards! I can't wait to officially buy our last package of Pullups and kiss that $9 price tag good bye :)
