Double O Rooney

Last week Rooney, Mike and I celebrated Valentine's Day! Mike took Valentine's Day off from work and we planned to hang out as a family. Rooney and I dragged Daddy to a couple of our usual morning activities but Dad was sick and although he trooped through it, I don't think he had much fun. Thankfully Aunt Annie was there to keep him laughing. Roonster also made this card for Daddy- I think this may have been his first card. Wow!

Another first for Rooney was his big accomplishment on the potty chair! Every night Rooney sits on the potty chair before his bath (I think he really just uses it as a stall technique) but the other night something just happened and he left something in the seat! Woo hoo! Due to this big accomplishment Rooney received some "Robot" M&M's. He really did not seem to be that interested but picked out 3 green ones. He ate them and was in love (who could blame him?)and then the water works started for more potty chair and M&M's. It was quite dramatic but in the morning, when I suggested he sit on the potty, all he would only say "all done potty". Oh well. Diapers for a little longer.

Finally...now that Rooney is becoming a big boy we thought we should start him on some chores. Picking up his toys is the first thing we are trying to teach him but this isn't exactly what I was thinking...

This Week in Rooney

I know it's been awhile since I've posted. Rooney has been really really busy everyday hanging out with his friends. Since I haven't posted much I thought I would put in a few photos from what we've been doing.
