Potty training sucks!

There really is no good way to say it. I hate potty training. We are doing a reward system.Every time Connor peas in the potty he gets a star & when he gets 5 stars he gets a matchbox car. The first day was great He did it 4 times with only a couple of accidents & he wore underwear almost all day. The next day he cried every time i put him on the toilet & said "I don't want to try". Then as soon as I would put his underwear & pants on he would pea & laugh. After 4 times in 1 hour the pull ups went back on. Score one for Connor. Is it weird that he has pooped in the potty for a month now, but refuses to pea? Anyway, I have thought of a new business. I think I would actually pay someone to potty training him. Do they have potty training boot camp for toddlers?
Yesterday it was so hot out & we had nothing to do so I took the boys on a field trip. I had to be creative & think of something indoor that boys would like. It had to be close to home & all the play centers were closed. So, we went to the Home Depot. They have race Car carts & the boys love them. We went & watched the big saw cut wood, then Connor heard the fork lift. So I spent 10 minutes chasing it down. We watched it work for a while & then we went to the rental center to look at the "shovels". That's what Connor calls the mini backhoes. It was surprisingly fun. Plus, it killed an hour & didn't cost anything.

Here are some cute pics we have taken over the past couple of weeks.
