My 21 month old baby boy



My baby boy is growing up way too quick. He started potty training himself a couple weeks ago and now today he decided he didn't want to wear diapers anymore. He kicked and screamed and when I finally got the diaper on he ripped it off, after going through two diapers I gave up and let him wear nothing. Luckily he had been really good and hadn't had an accident all day today.

Dreyton's also mastered opening doors within the last few days. He is pretty good with ones that I don't want him to go in, but his bedroom door had to get a childproof handle on it.

He is also getting to the point where he doesn't want to nap anymore. After 2 hours of playing in his room I give up and let him out. I took out his bookshelf today which he loves to climb on and he fell asleep right away, so im' HOPING that solves the no napping.

I got his 18 month shots done a week ago he weighs 30 lbs and is 35 inches long.

Corn Maze

It was a really nice day out so we decided to go to the corn maze today. It had alot of different things to do there and the kids had a blast.

We of course went through a corn maze. Zoë loved pretending it was similar to Dora where they have to pick the path to go on.




They took some industrial tubing and made it into a slide.


Watching the pig races





Going into the petting zoo. Dreyton wanted to talk to all the animals more then he wanted to pet them. He would crouch down and look into there faces and start talking away.


having a duck race

The hay bale maze, Zoë used it more to jump around on then as a maze.

Calaway Park

Yesterday we went to calaway park as a family. Zoë is such a thrill seeker and had tonnes of fun, i'm curious to know what ride would scare her if she could go on all of the rides. Dreyton on the other hand is scared of most rides, clapping and cheering when it ended. He had fun waving to everybody on the rides from the sidelines.

On the kids size ocean motion


At the top of the balloon ride (similar to the ferris wheel)

Dreyton was able to go once around on the boats before he tried to get off.

Zoë's favourite ride was the airplane ride.

Reptiles

We went to a reptile exhibit the other day (not my idea). Of course both my kids loved it as they are not scared of any animals. Dreyton LOVED the gecko's, constantly trying to get his hands on one.

My Big Boy!

We took the crib down and replaced it with a toddler bed. We decided to switch him while I have Lee for the week before he starts his job. It takes Dreyton alot longer to fall asleep now but he hasn't really fussed at all which has been nice.

Of course half the time he falls asleep in a weird position. I should have taken a picture of the other day because he was kneeling on the bed sleeping. (Notice all his pants he took out of the drawers before he fell asleep).


In other news Dreyton went pee on the potty for the first time today. It will still be awhile till we start to potty train him but it is nice that he has an older sibling to understand the potty more.



Zoë started a playschool class today which she loves. It's 2 hours once a week and it's a variety class with a little bit of everything. We also have both of them signed up for a swim class which starts in a couple of weeks. Zoë is in an unparented class while either Lee or I will be with Dreyton in his class.

Big Mountain

These are some new activities they have at big mountain that we decided to try. The kids loved the little luge ride, and Jenn and I loved the ziplining.



When we went on the first big zipline it started pouring rain so we had to have these parachutes behind us to slow us down a little. Luckily the rain stopped after that zipline.
