Weekend

I love catching Mayson in a natural smile so I couldn't resist posting these pictures.  We did a lot of fun things this weekend...actually I am beginning to suspect we are doing too many fun things this summer and I have tired, cranky kids.  Or maybe it is the sugar from the previous post?  Although she is smiling here, there have been lots of battles lately.  We attempted potty training for Gray this weekend.  He loves his Thomas underwear and is motivated to be a big boy and not wear diapers.  He did great to begin with--when we went on a huge Greenlake walk to see the milk carton derby at the Seafair kick-off, he thought it was hilarious when we held him over the toilet (and maybe some bushes during the walk) and pretended he was Superman needing to pee during flight.  But, the fun wore off in the afternoon and we ran out of underwear in our Thomas 6-pack.  He was fine borrowing an old Dora pair from Mayson.  Of course, whenever Gray has something, no matter how lame it is, Mayson all of a sudden has to have it.  Meltdown number one.  Later today, when he rode a bike she normally has zero interest in, she had to have it.  Next meltdown.  There is no reasoning that can be done in these situations.
