Ribbit

My boys found this little guy hiding under my hydrangea one afternoon this week.
The good news: We don't have any warts yet.

The bad news: It peed all over them and never turned into a charming prince.

"I'm a big kid now!"



Actually, we've already moved past the Pull-ups. We've graduated to underwear!


I can't take all of the credit. Primrose, Micah's new pre-school, did most of the work. Right before we left his old daycare at the end of May, I knew he was getting close to being ready. I didn't push the issue for a couple of weeks at the new school to allow him time to adjust to the new atmosphere and people.


Around the beginning of the third week of Primrose, Micah's teacher came to me and told me that he's been using the potty at school all day and staying dry in his pamper. She felt like it was time that he started wearing underwear instead of wasting pampers. My eyes just lit up! I had no idea he was staying dry all day long.


Since then, we've been in big boy underwear. We've had our fair share of accidents and we've struggled (still do to an extent) with poo poo-ing in the potty, but we've come a long way in the last month.


Micah can even stay dry ALL night long. Yes, we still wear a Pull-up at night, just in case, but he's very good about going straight to the bathroom in the morning when he wakes up.

Cayman Turtle Farm

Before our flight home on Monday we took a brief tour of the Cayman Island Turtle Farm. The wildlife there consisted of turtles, chickens, roosters, crocodiles and lots of pretty flowers. I'll let the pictures describe the rest.

Seven Mile Beach





We ventured to the other side of the island this morning for church and decided to explore Seven Mile Beach for a while.




This time of year, Sunday is the day of the week to visit Georgtown, the main tourist area, since there are no cruise ships in port. Sunday is also the day that grocery stores and other shopping areas are closed though.



We had the whole beach almost all to ourselves.
