Potty Training/ Helmet/ scrape Face


So, i have decided to attempt a little potty training. We first started putting Hayden on the potty before bath and he would pee. ( and if he didn't we would pour warm water over it and that always did the trick!) Also he has seen many of his friends going to the potty which really sparked his interest. So when i catch him pooping i just try to throw him on the potty. It works when i catch him, but I am working with him to try to tell me before. But i am expecting this to be a long process. But we went on and got the underwear and rubber pants and try to wear them when we are at home. M and m's are a prize that he loves....... one time i told him he would get 5 m and m's for pooping and he instantly starting pushing. It was hilarious!!!!!!! So it was going pretty well but i have lost some motivation lately. We also need to get rid of the Pacifier (soother) so, i was debating which to do first, potty training or paci, and now have decided that potty training will take a long time, so paci will have to go soon. so......im hoping next week? but don't hold me to it.
This is what he does when i tell him to smile. ( He copies what i do)


We also have gotten Hayden a helmet for his trike. ( In the pic above he wanted his blanky with him so i threw it in the back of his shirt, he doesn't usually wear it like that. But he does love it!) At first he did not want to wear it but then i told him it would make him go fast and he put it on. Ever since he points to his helmet and says fast! so cute. He also really likes it, as you can tell he wanted to wear it when his friends were over!
We also got a seat for him on Thad's bike and he definitely needs the helmet for that! It makes me a little nervous for me to ride with him.....so for now, Thad gets to. Which is a welcome break for me!
Also, i found this pic from early july. We were walking back from dinner out and Hayden got a little to excited and took a fall. It didn't look bad that night, but the next day it was not so good! But he recovered just fine!
