Camping and Potty Training

Odin on his first Kawasaki. Much like Dad's Kawasaki, it is mostly self-propelled! Ha!Odin enjoying flowers in his ears!
We went camping for a week up in Northwest PA with our best friends Mark and Mel and their daughter Madelyn. Odin loved Madelyn and some of the time Madelyn loved Odin! They really enjoyed swinging in the hammock together.
Madelyn and Odin also really enjoyed the kiddie-pool we brought with us camping. It got up into the 90's two of the days and the pool was a great way to cool down.
And finally, a note on potty training. Odin has gone 1 full week with no diaper at all, including at night! A few times during the week he has woken up in the middle of the night, sleepy-eyed but saying "pee-pee." Daddie jumps up and carries him to the bathroom. Though last night he slept all night (10 hours), no diaper, and no accidents (something Mom and Dad can't do...the sleeping through the night, not the accident part). When he woke this morning he ran to the bathroom yelling "pee-pee."
All of this comes as quite a surprise to Mom and Dad as we were not trying to potty train him, he just wanted to mimic Daddie and go pee in the toilet. He has essentially potty trained himself and he's not even 2 years old! We were thinking this wasn't going to happen until he was around 3 years old. But now that we're not using cloth diapers, we've only done wash one time this week.
