Training Day

Today, we woke up earlier than usual, because, Cody, the "bug man" as Sean refers to him, was coming over to spray. Sean loves to follow him around and watch. After Cody left, we headed to the sports store for more t-ball equipment. Kenny said that Sean throws better with his left hand and he also thought it would be cute to get him cleats! So, I found the right glove and got the cleats, but not before a major three year old tantrum, complete with sassy talking to me. Getting up early, just made his mood worse. I had talked to Sean on the way home about putting on his big boy underwear. He started telling me "no". I've been preparing him for this for a couple of weeks now and showed him his "potty toys" this morning.
When we got home, Sean became hysterical and started to cry when I tried to put on the underwear, so I let the issue alone and he took a 2 1/2 hour nap!!
After his nap, I asked if he wanted to try the underwear and he said, "no, thank you". We played for a little bit and he noticed his reward toys, so he let me put the underwear on him. We went to the backyard, since he was just in his shirt and underwear and brought a lot of apple juice with us. It was windy, so I told Sean to look at the trees and watch the leaves dance. I didn't think he was paying attention, but later, he said, "mommy, the leaves are dancing". It was so sweet. Then, he opened the ice chest and lo and behold, he found a baby frog! I'm terrified of them, so I walked away, but he wanted to hold the frog. I told him that Daddy would get the frog for him when he got home. I wanted to take a picture of him looking at the frog, but I figured that in years to come when he reads this, he wouldn't like it if he saw pictures of him in his underwear posted on here! I kept telling Sean to tell me when he had to pee, but instead, he told me as he was doing it and then he thought it would be fun to jump in the puddle he had made and he laughed. At this point, I cleaned him up and put him back in the pull-ups.
When, Kenny came home, they went outside to see the frog, but it jumped away. Later, Sean told me that the frog went home. We'll try training again, later.
