Let me say that with the new hair cut also came a new attitude. He loves his new hairdo and it shows in a recent wild streak that has come out of him. He is a little less cuddly and a little more naughty over the past week. He seems to be getting more daring, more hard of hearing and less compliant as he nears his third birthday!
Another new achievement for Mr. Fritzer is that he is potty training!!! He does really well at home and stays dry about 75% of the time while we are out. He did go potty at Wal-Mart for the first time last week (pee and poop), but I still have to constantly take him and ask him if he has to potty. He must be sick of hearing me talk about it.
We were rewarding him with new Thomas the Tank Engine trains for all of his various milestones with pottying, but we quickly realized at $10 per engine we would be going broke before the month was out. Luckily he is pretty content with Skittles and the occasional ice cream cone as a reward. He does come up to us all the time and asks the whereabouts of a train that he knows he doesn't have. When we say that we don't have that train he says, "Oh...he at store!" He thinks he's clever. And he is...I would love to buy him all the trains he wants. Below Fritz displays some of his most prized engines:
Sir Handel
Skarloey
Gordon
Another change...Mark is the proud new owner of a motorcycle!!! He is very thrilled about that. Here are a couple new pictures of Mark, his brother Andy and their cousin Jeff during the inaugural ride for their new motorcyle gang...
Finally, we spent a fun weekend with family at the lake house for the 4th. Lots of tubing, eating and more eating. Here are a few highlights...
