We are finally on a path to potty training and of course all on Liam's terms, as everything has been-weaning, bottle, binky...mommy's sanity. :) It pains me to say this, but Liam really, really loves the movie Cars. You know, Disney's interpretation of NASCAR. And we have watched Cars the movie about a zillion times. When a good friend of ours decided to have his b-day party at a screening of the new Cars 2 movie, Liam was beyond excited. And here is how I have manipulated Liam into really potty training. Besides the way cool b-day party movie, I allowed myself the budget of a jumbo box of diapers and went to Target with Liam to pick out all of his prices--little diecast and large shake and go replicas of his favorite characters from his favorite movie. We hunkered down this week and I must say, he is doing a marvelous job! All thanks to our NASCAR-like friends. I am almost out of cars and scanning craigslist and friends to get some more, but so worth it. And bonus-these cars are also keeping Liam busy for HOURS-so win/win here.
Just to show you how important these cars are to Liam--they joined us for special time with mommy and Liam on our lunch picnic today.

Dear Liam,
I know you are proud to be training, and loving those cars.
We are happy for you and proud of you too. You are a wonderful little boy, and seem to love life so much. Stay sweet, keep loving and accomplishing new tasks.
Grandpa O and I love you sooooo much.

Dear Sir Liam the Cutest,
I am very proud of you too! Your training is coming along just fine - everyone has his/her own schedule and terms.
I really like all of your cars - Lightning McQueen, Tow Mater, Fin McMissile, etc. I can't believe that there are so many cars out there besides Mercedes Benz that I only know all my life raising 2 girls. Grandpa R was well informed of these things and he did get you Lightning McQueen that you liked so much.
I can't wait to celebrate your birthday soon with more cars on the race track!
Love you tons,
Grandma R
