Paper Airplanes and Potty Training

Ever since we went to Grama and Papa Phillips' house for Christmas, Dallin has been crazy for paper airplanes! You can see he is just in underwear- first week of potty training!

And the potty training ? So far...so good!

The first couple of days there were lots of accidents, but now there are way more successes! Yes!

New underwear...following an accident...

Potty training rewards! Mmm...do the parents get some too?
