Day At The Farm

It is so much fun to take Mikey back to Drumlin Farm every year and see a new and different perspective on things. This year we actually were able to talk about the animals that we would see beforehand and Mikey also remembered the "tractor ride". I brought the stroller since it was quite a distance from the car but overall, Mikey spent a majority of the time walking by himself and being a big boy. We saw all the animals, caught the tractor ride and had a picnic lunch on the rocks out front of the farm. The weather was in the high sixties with no clouds and gorgeous sun. It was a perfect Mommy and Mikey day!

Right after I snapped this picture I realized that Mikey had a pee-ing accident. Good thing I brought that extra pair of clothes with me! He had been accident free for a few days but I guess he was distracted!

**I think I am noticing a trend here as being the parent of a boy. It seems like after every outing we are coming home and I am giving Mikey a bath! He was COVERED in dirt!

**Potty training update: Grandma assisted in the potty training last week since Mikey was pretty much refusing to do it with me during the day. Mikey and Grandma had made a pact that if M had to go potty, he would tell Grandma. Mikey wore "big kid pants" the whole 3 days she was with us and M barely had an accident. This week at Eva's house Mikey had NO accidents. Naturally, I kept the trend going today at the farm but our track record got tarnished due to distractions. I'd say overall potty training is off to a good start!
