McQueen and his cousin sledding with their Daddy's at one of the first snowfalls in Dec.
McQueen LOVES playing in the snow

Building a snow tunnel (Mommy and Sis must have been inside where it is WARM)
McQueen and Sis love bathtime, especially after playing in the snow!
I just realized I need to take more pictures of Sis, she is growing so fast! She wears only one size smaller in t-shirts than McQueen. She is our little dare devil but also loves purses, combs, dresses and strollers. I just wish she would let me do her hair! She has been walking now for a few weeks, and is all over the place but we enjoy it and she is much happier.
These days McQueen is into Little Einsteins and Thomas. The cars seem to be on the backburner for now. He also likes to help Mommy do ANYTHING, but especially cook and do the dishes(I better keep him doing both of those!). We are "trying" to potty train, but it is not going so well. I try all sorts of bribes ~ things he especially wants. The conversation goes something like this:
Mommy: "McQueen, do you want to go potty on the toilet like a big boy?"
McQueen: "No, I am a little boy."
Mommy: "If you go potty on the toilet, we will get right in the car and go to Toys R Us and buy Harold."
McQueen: "OK!" (He proceeds to run into the bathroom, take off all his clothes, reluctantly sit on the toilet for about 2 seconds, and then scream for a "new diaper".)
Mommy: "Ok, well we are not going to Toys R Us anymore, you didn't go potty on the toilet like a big boy."
McQueen: "Yeah(a new favorite word) mommy, I am a little boy and I don't want Harold right now. Mommy, can I have a star on my chart?" (He gets stars for various good choices)
Mommy: "No, you didn't go potty."
MQueen: "Ok, McQueen will just stay a little boy"
This is everyday, and as you can see I am not getting anywhere. If any of you have ideas, I would love to hear them. We are pretty sure Sis will be potty trained before him.
As for the snow, we are really, really sick of it. It snows almost everyday. Every winter we say we are moving back to Cal. but the Spring comes and we love it again. But it doesn't mean we don't love Cal. more!
Well I have a fish tank and a house to clean!

He is growing up! That was a funny conversation. I can totally picture it! Hey, Mike. Nice scruff! About the whole potty training thing... don't stress it! He's still pretty young. Ty was an anomale and so was Search. So, that's what you have to compare him too. I'm sure he's doing better than Destroy at that age! The one thing I learned with Destroy was not to push him and let him do it on his own time. But I TOTALLY understand your urge to get him potty trained. That's exactly how I was. It will be easier for you both if you let him decide when he wants to be potty trained. Anyways, I don't want to sound like a know-it-all so I'll stop (but I already do:) Cute post!
You guys are so cute! It looks like so much fun to play in the snow with your little ones....I can't wait for next year! Taylor is just sick of the snow for this year...she can wait till next! I guess I can too!
