Rigby's 3rd Birthday 1/26/09

Since I am doing this whole blog thing as my journal, I thought that I should include what has

happened in the last few months. Most importantly, my baby's (as he still likes to be referred

because he still wants to wear diapers!) 3rd birthday.

We decided that we would give him a big boy birthday and try to start the potty training. We did the dump truck cake, gave him a big Tonka dump truck, a pack of candy canes - he LOVES candy canes!, and of course his new underwear! Grandpa & Grandma Wilson and Great Grandma Nelson came over and gave him a fun farm set with a tractor. He was so excited for everything! Dad decided that it was time to don the new underwear! He took Rigby to the bathroom and he went peepee! He came out in his underwear and said "I did it!". We all cheered for him and that made him even more excited so he said "I want to do it

again!". He did that three times and peed each time! Can you imagine how happy we were?!

So we let him hang out in his underwear for the rest of the night. He loved all of the attention and even got to play MarioKart with Grandpa Wilson. After the excitement of the day, he wanted his diaper back on! We tried for a couple of weeks following his birthday to keep him going potty but it didn't work. We are now waiting for him to decide that he is a big boy and that he should go potty on the toilet. Oh the joys!

See how cute he looks in underwear! Rigby just came in to see what I was doing and I showed him the pictures. The conversation went like this...

Me: Look how awesome you look in underwear!

Rigby: Yeah I do!

Me: We should put your underwear on today!

Rigby: OK!!

Me: You have to go potty when you wear underwear.

Rigby: (pausing to think) Maybe next time! (and quickly runs out of the room!)
