Our land line phone and Internet have been down since a big thunder storm on Monday.  That is why this blog has not bee undated... that and Grandma and Mommy need to help me remember what happened while I was on vacation.  It may take several days to get pictures from our vacation to Barbara's computer so we can get them posted.

I was the first one awake this morning... a little before Mommy's alarm went off at 6am.   So I had two hours to play with Mommy before she had to leave for work.  One of the things we did was talk about the new potty training method we are going to implement today.
When I wear my big boy underwear and t-t in the potty, I will get three pieces of "I'm proud" candy.  Really it is Skittles candy.  As soon as Mommy explained this to me I was willing to put on underwear and then I announced I needed to go and off I ran.  I was successful and loved getting the candy.

 I went at these times:  7:15, 7:45, 8:20. 8:45, 9:20, 9:40, 10:30, 10:45, 12:45 and 1:10.  That is ten times before I took my nap!

 Every once in a while Barbara would remind me that I need to run to potty when I need to t-t.

I played nicely all morning and had fun playing this new "potty training/I'm Proud candy"game. 
I had one accident at 11:40 when I was outside working with PaPa.  Both Barbara and I were distracted

I helped PaPa bundle up some dead branches that had fallen from trees.

 First wet screen....

 Then wash....

 I just got bitten...

Then rinse two solar screen, so PaPa could put them on the two windows in my big toy room.  Since that room is over the un-airconditioned garage it can get a bit warm in there when the afternoon sun bears down on those windows.  The only bad thing is they do darken the room so we will generally have on the overhead light if we are playing in that room.

Monk Monk 2 and 1.  I wondered if we could tell them apart.  Barbara said yes, because she had mended Monk Monk 2's tail with some brown thread.  You can see it in this picture (on the left at base of tail).  Funny thing is Monk Monk 1 had the same weak spot.  On closer inspection, Monk Monk 1 is stuffed fully, making him a bit bigger and Monk Monk 2 has a label on his right leg.
At Mimz home we went for a ride down the street on Pop's scooter.  We played I Spy and Mimz says I am very good at it.  Mimz starts with the answer being big things like cars and trucks, and then little things like the red flag on a mailbox.
Daddy took Mimz and me out to eat and I wore big boy underwear.  Daddy took me to potty once at the restaurant but I couldn't go.  I waited until I got home.  No accidents!!!! 
Mimz says tonight was special for her because I get to spend the night with her.  She also said she is so proud of my potty training and my playing so well by myself.  I was asleep within minutes of Mimz turning off the television and lights.
