Aqaurium and Potty Time!

On Tuesday I decided it was time to take Alex out and do something I knew he would really enjoy so off to the aquarium we went. We spent nearly 3 hours there. Alex had so much fun. His favorite thing was nemo of course and we happened to be there during feeding time for several animals and he liked seeing them eat their food. They fed their little alligators, big south american fish, piranhas, and electric eel. He liked watching the big fish get fed the most. We also watched their sting rays get fed as well. They were a little freaky and would come up on the sides of the walls and they looked like they were going to come out!  Shelley screamed when it happened one time and I about died laughing at her! There were a few other people who thought it was funny. Good thing there weren't alot of people there.

Also, Thursday Alex went pee on the potty for the 1st time! I have been taking the when he decides he's ready he will approach. So far he had yet to really take an interest. For awhile when Brad goes to the bathroom Alex follows him in and sit on his little potty with his clothes on. Thursday I needed to go to the bathroom (no thanks to being pregnant) and Alex followed me in. I asked him if he wanted to take his diaper off since he needed a change anyways. He was on there for awhile and kept asking me to go potty again. I told him I was done and just waiting on him. When he was done, I went to put his diaper on and noticed a little drip on his privates, and checked the potty. Sure enough he had managed to pee in there, I was very excited. I am sure it will be awhile before he goes on there again, but it's a start!

Also I am about 16 and half weeks into pregnancy #2. I have good days and bad days. My nausea seems to have subsided for the most part, except for about 10 mintues in the morning. I am still tired, but have felt well enough to exercise a little bit.

This lady was feeding the stingrays. It was practically coming out of the tank!


After he went potty for the 1st time. He of course has his clothes on, but he did go!


And just the randomness of Alex. He fell asleep while he was eating his lunch. I came in and found him doing the head bobble.

We've been wanting to go to the aquarium since it has been too cold to go to the zoo. Is it pricey?

Way to go Alex! I'm glad you are feeling better, the next time you go to the aquarium call me, we have passes and are always looking for an excuse to get out (ha ha ha!)
