August Pictures of Luke

Recapping the rest of August through a few pictures.

Luke got his first hand painting done! He'd been hesitant in previous attempts at face/body painting, but one Saturday at Atlanta Bread, the children's artist had just the right approach to him and he allowed her to make him a balloon animal and painted a cool gator on his hand. He loved it!



Luke using chopsticks for the first time. Pretty creative!





Luke starts wearing big boy underwear! His teachers at daycare started really trying to get the kids to use the potty at school in mid-August and we started at home then at the same time. Until then, Luke had not really been interested at all. One Saturday we just let him run around with no pants on and encouraged him to use the potty. By the end of the day he knew what to do :) It's been a process, over the last month and a half, but he has done great. He is potty trained for #1 (other than night time) but not so much for #2. We are still working on that, wish us luck!



So, we had 3 things we were hoping to accomplish with Luke before Baby Bop arrived. Using a big boy bed, potty training, and getting rid of the pacifier. 1 and a half out of three so far :) Luke loves his new bed, hasn't looked back at the crib since we got it. The paci, well it is still here and I don't think we'll be getting rid of that before the baby arrives. I think he'd just want it again if he sees his little brother using it anyway.

Loving the new bed!
