Playing Inside

I try to get out of the house at least once a day, but we are taking on the elusive holy grail of toddlerhood - using the potty.  Since I know there will be more accidents than successes the first few days, I have basically committed myself to staying inside for a day or two.  Of course, I should have checked the weather, because it is actually sunny and nice out here finally.  I need to find some of those old fashioned plastic pants to form a protective seal over the underwear so we can at least take a walk!

Our first inside day consisted of taking some pictures of Dylan and making hot pretzels.  The pictures were decent, and the pretzels were really easy and fun.  I got the recipe from allrecipes.com.  Abbey had a good time, and I had everything I needed in the house.  (Also, for those that cook with toddlers, the recipe doesn't have raw eggs in it, so they can munch on the dough if they want.)

This is the life.  I am not sure why they insisted on moving me from my comfy Boppy...

Abbey wanted to be sure to stay neat and clean while cooking.  (Well, also, she was not wearing pants, and I don't want to be saddled with ALL of her therapy bills in the future.)

As usual, her favorite part of the baking was the clean up.  I am saving this picture for her teenage years, when she refuses to do any work around the house.

Dylan was not impressed with the pretzel making.

Hmmm, this is pretty comfortable.

This is more like it.  Finally some pictures of me!
