I've been a bad blogger lately. Life is just way too busy. Way. Maybe I'll have some time once preschool starts next week!

And it's not that there hasn't been fodder. There's been plenty. Like the little boy here who told his Dad (who'd been singing lullabies)at bedtime the other night, "I think that's enough singing for now, Daddy."

Umm. Yeah.

HA!

And after tonight, I'll have stories of our first trip to visit the giant pizza-serving, game-loving rodent. Where we'll be celebrating a Full Day of Dry Underpants.

"But, the potty party training day was a smashing success," you say. Well, it was for the first few weeks. It was remarkably successful in fact. Then we went on vacation at the end of July, and he's been having pee accidents regularly since then. Just enough leakage that he needs dry clothes. So, in an effort to reduce the laundry pile, and because preschool starts next week... after stickers & treats failed to do the trick, I offered a bribe: get through a day without wetting your pants, and I'll take you to Chuck E. Cheese.

And? We have made it. After several days of dangling that carrot to no avail, today it worked!

So, we shall visit the giant rodent. Stay tuned...

I haven't blogged for a few days though in my world this feels lke weeks.

Our potty training in a day thing was a success too until we went on holidays... I guess it is when they get out of routine and go to new places etc., it really mucks them up. We're back in 'pull-up' nappies for the time being. I need to find the energy to 're-train' properly... *sigh*

AHH, the rodent. THe CP loves that rathouse. I took him once, months ago and he STILL talks about it. I promised to take him the net time he stays over which is later tis month. I think I hit on a secret.It opens at 9:30 am. Go early before the parties and the bigger kids get there.

Oh, the giant rodent. I still "get" to go there on occasion, since kiddo insists he loves the arcade part. Sure, I see him watching that animitronic show!!!

Hope you had fun there!

So, will you be dining with rodent every day that he stays dry? That's an awful lot of pizza! ;;)

Melody,
It's frustrating isn't it?

Thanks for the tip, Sarcasmom!

There were some games I wanted to play, but the little dude kept running off! We had fun. But OY the noise!

BGM, Hardly! We will have to go again, as I bought $10 worth of tokens and we didn't even use half of them!

I cannot wait to read about the trip. Having taken my younger sisters there when they were small, I can tell you that it is nothing like when we were small. My recollection is lots of games, but very little in the way of interactive, talking creatures. Also, no ball crawl. Maybe that's not such a bad thing, now that I think about it.

And congrats to the little guy! He's on his way.

Congratulations! A momentous occasion, everyone remembers how old their kids were when they were trained. Have fun at that loud place.
