Bradlee turned 3 on July 29th. What a day it was! He got a phone call from Winnie the Pooh that morning, wishing him a Happy Birthday...and many other phone calls throughout the day. We went to Red Robin (his choice!) for dinner and he loved having the workers sing to him! I think he loved his ice cream sundae even more...
In order for Bradlee to attend preschool in the fall, he has to be potty trained. We have known this for a while, and also known it was going to be a challenge with him, since he's so stubborn! :) When we were in Disney, he would ask to go potty and would go when we'd take him. I don't even know the last time I had to change a poopy diaper! That's how good he's been doing! So, we made a rule, when we got back from Disney, that Diapers are only for night time...and he wore pull-ups during the day. They were still wet, but he would still ask to go potty.
He kept telling us that when he turned 3, he would wear big boy underpants...so on his birthday, he wore them all day until I got home with no accidents! We'd put a pull-up on when we would go out. He's been wearing the underpants a little bit each day...and then on Monday, he wore them in the car! We just went to my parents' house a few blocks away, but it was a step in the right direction! He wore them the whole time we were at my parents' and then I took him to Barnes and Noble to get his birthday cookie. Then all the way back home, and no accidents!! He had one accident yesterday when we were in the car, but he had just woken up from a nap while I was putting him in the car, and instead of taking him back into the house to put him on the potty, I just put him in the car and left...my fault. Other than that...NO ACCIDENTS! :) This evening, Tony had the opportunity to teach him how to use a urinal! LOL He (Tony) said it was easy and he did a great job!
We went to Lake Orion last night to have dinner with my grandparents and my aunt, in town from Connecticut. Papa was the only one to get dessert, so naturally, he and Bradlee were buds!!! :)
This afternoon, I took Bradlee to the doctor's for his 3 year check-up/back-to-school physical. He's 31.7 pounds and 37 inches tall! What a big boy!! Dr. Banerjee froze a little wart on his hand and sent him home with approval to go to school in the fall! He's doing well! :) I'm so proud of my little big boy! :)
