Potty training










Xavier started his real potty training a couple of weeks ago and so far is doing great.


He has only had 1 poo poo accident and really hated it. He has only had 2 days where he didn't have any accidents at all but seems to be getting better every day. He really loves wearing his underware. Right now he only wears it when we are home and wears diapers when we go out and when he sleeps. Once he is really good at using the potty at home though we plan on putting him in underware all the time.


We told him that he will get a toy play house as a present for learning how to use the potty and we have already ordered it. It should go nicely in our garden. I will post some pictures of him in it once it arrives and we have put it together.


Here are some pictures of Xavier and Julien I took today. You can even see Xavier using the potty. He is getting to be such a big boy.

Bavaria Park























We went to Bavaria Park on the 8th of April with Thierry's sister Aline. We were only there for the last 2 hours so they only charged us 6,50 Euro each and Xavier and Julien were free. It is a perfect amusement park for small children. Xavier had a blast and because it was the off season there was absolutely no wait for any of the rides. I would recommend this park to anyone with small children. There were also a few rides for adults but we didn't go on those. There was even a small zoo with monkeys, puma's, goats and a few other animals. They also had miniature versions of the Ludwig II castles: Neuschwanstein, Linderhof and Herrenchiemsee.





Now that we can finally take Xavier to parks like this we are thinking about taking him to Europa Park in June when we drive to France to visit our family over there. That one is a lot bigger with much better rides and even has 65 attractions that a child his age can do. I just love amusement parks. Even if they don't have much for adults to do, it is still great to see Xavier having so much fun. I can't wait until Julien can join in on the fun as well.
