Potty Training Update: When Phil went to pick Will up from school on Friday, Will was wearing pants that did not belong to him.  We had sent 5 pairs of pants and he went through them all and had to wear "school pants."  The teacher said it seemed like Will was just very stubborn and wasn't quite ready for potty training.  She advised waiting a few months and trying it again.  Since they have potty trained a lot of kids, we took their advice.  We are keeping him in pull-ups and are still trying to get him to go on the potty.  He seems to be more conscious of when he's going so hopefully we will have more success next time around.

On Saturday morning, we went to the Farmer's Market and ran into the friends we were having over for dinner that night.  Since we were halfway to downtown, we went down and walked around festival for a little bit.  We got to hear some music and then went into the art museum so Will could do the monthly art project.  Then we had to head home so Alex could eat.  While downtown, we ran into someone from the U of M alumni club that took our picture (see below).  Saturday afternoon was spent getting ready for our cookout.  Of course, it was sunny all afternoon and only started to rain (and then pour) after we had cleaned off the outdoor furniture, put out the kiddie table, uncovered the grill, and uncovered the sandbox.  So the kids ended up playing inside and we all ate in the living.  It wasn't quite the same but everyone seemed to still have fun.

On Sunday, we went for a nice walk in the morning.  Then Phil and Will went to get Will's haircut (he was in desperate need) and Alex and I stayed home so I could feed him and pack his lunch.  Then we all met at the Gardens and spent a couple hours there walking around.  Will loves the Great Lakes fountains, the tree house, and the boardwalk.  We packed a picnic and had lunch at the barn.  In the afternoon, we just played around the house.

We are looking forward to a short week - we leave for Cincinnati on Thursday!
