Soren's potty time

We've been prepping Soren with "Elmo's Potty Time" and "Once Upon A Potty" videos, but we didn't want to start training until we returned from vacation. So, tonight Jared took Soren to Ikea to pick out a potty. He chose the red one and carried it on his lap the entire way home. As soon as he got out of the car he put it down and sat on it. When he entered the apartment, he ran in with it, excited to show mommy and minutes later pooped and peed in it. We were amazed!

Still Puerto Rico

The next stop was Cabo Rojo, with a scenic lighthouse and a nice, private beach.











So beautiful!












Soren LOVED playing in the sand.












What a great family picture!









We ended our awesome trip by visiting another gorgeous beach in San Juan.

More Puerto Rico

Exploring the north side of the island.













Yes, Jared climbed to the top of that rock in his flipflops.








This is La Parguera. We took a rented boat out to some of those islands and took a swim in the shade of the mangroves. It was Soren's first real swimming experience, and he loved it.









These are some of the awesome Mangroves we saw while crusing through the beautiful waters.









We tied up the boat and went swimming and discovered sea urchins, as well as fish and crabs.

Back from Puerto Rico

The first place we visited was Old San Juan. Where we saw an incredible fort and cemetary.









The fort was from around the 1500s.












I love the angel statues.









Really beautiful.









We came out to witness a cool cultural event. Tons of kite flying.
