Spring Break's end

The spring break week flew by. My one large goal was to work on potty training with Jace. I am very pleased to report he is doing great, much better than I expected him to be doing at the end of the week. He is super cute in his "big boy pants" and I'm pretty sure he can run faster now.The first few days of potty training looked like this (every 30 minutes, when the timer sounded). The cartoons were the reward for trying. Now that he is getting the idea, we can spend a lot more time playing and not so much time worrying about trying to potty.

The weather this week was mild but pretty windy. We got outside a little bit each day. Our attempts at flying the kite were frustrating because the wind was gusty and changed directions a lot. Also, Jace didn't understand what we were trying to do with the kite so he would grab it and take off running, even when the kite string was wrapped around him. We switched to hitting baseballs off the T. It was our own version of spring training.Joel was trying to show Jace the way to hit. Jace just wanted to do his own thing. This shot cracks me up.The last day of spring break, Jace and I spent the morning at home. I did some chores while he used the paint program on the computer and moved every book he owns out of his room and into the hallway. So much for getting any spring cleaning done. This afternoon Jace got a haircut and we enjoyed the best weather of the week by running around the park before dinner. I think we will have tons of fun this summer.
