Take Me Outside!

Andrew's latest thing is that he wants to be outside as much as possible. Now that he can walk, he wants to go investigate every little thing. His favorite place is the street, of all places!!! Good thing that we live on a street with about 15 houses and we are close to the culdisack (spelling??). He also likes the deck, but that is so dirty. Ben was playing with him there on Saturday everning and he was covered in dirt on his hands and knees. He walks most of the time, but sometimes it is quicker to move my his knees. The more he goes outside the less he likes coming inside. The past few nights he has thrown temper tantrups (I knew this day was coming :() and had to be disciplined. (I hate that part) Yesterday it started raining just as I was about to go outside with him. Andrew got upset (spent 5 minutes in time out in his crib, I have learned that for now, that that works better than spanking).
We bought the little potty to introduce to Andrew. I showed it to him yesterday, but he just thought it was a toy. You'll never believe this, guess where Ben wanted to put the potty? In the kitchen, I about had a heart attack. He thought there wasn't enough room in the bathroom. Please let me know what you think about the potty in the kitchen.

Ha ha ha!!! Well, theoretically, you're supposed to take the potty wherever you go..to every room in the house. I potty trained Emily very late, so I kept it in the bathroom, and she didn't have any trouble. I think a more central location would be the living room or something. I don't know if I could handle it in the kitchen. :)
Savannah likes to be outside too. She says, "Side!! Side!!"
Krust, he's a boy! He's supposed to be dirty!!! ha ha
I wish we could have a playdate!
