Captain Hayden, Potty Training, and a Trip to the Zoo

Well, I promised some new pictures, so below is "Captain Hayden" as he calls himself. He loves wearing this pirate hat to read, and in this picture, while painting. He was a pirate for Halloween, but he has just recently taken an interest in acting like one. That may be due to an episode of the Backyardigans. Which is his favorite show now, by the way!

On Valentine's Day, Michael and I took Hayden to Memphis so we could make one more trip to the zoo before our membership expires. We had lunch at the Spaghetti Warehouse, where we got to sit in a trolley car. Of course, that made Hayden's day!

Then we spent the afternoon at the zoo. We all enjoyed watching the giraffes. There are 3 young giraffes, so it was neat to watch them all running around with their giraffe mommy.

I also mentioned potty training in the title of this post. About a month ago, I decided to give it a final try before Halle comes, and Hayden took to it pretty quickly. We had a small setback when he was sick, but other than that, it is going pretty well. We'll see if that continues once Halle enters our lives!

Oh, even though we scheduled our delivery date a few weeks ago, I keep forgetting to post about it. Unless she decides to come before then, Halle will be born on March 4! That's just 9 short days away!!! I can't wait to meet our little girl!
