The Croods

Karsten has been potty trained during the day since last summer. Toward the end of last year, he stopped wearing pull ups at night and was doing great.  He would have an occasional accident at night, but he hated to be wet, so it didn't happen too often.  He would wake up and scream 'DADDY, MY WHOLE SELF IS WET!!!'

Suddenly we had a streak of time where he was having accidents every night.  After trying to figure out what the problem was, I realized that we had started giving him an antihistamine before bed which was probably putting him into too deep of a sleep.  After we stopped the antihistamine at night, we had to get back into the habit of him waking up at night to go to the bathroom.  We told him after he had five dry nights, we would have a big boy date with us and go see a movie.  It took a little while, but he met his goal.  

Having lunch at Red Robin before the movie.  

Even though we had just eaten lunch, we also promised him we would get popcorn.  This was a HUGE bucket of popcorn.  I don't think the three of us even saw the bottom of this bucket.


Funny story about the movie we saw, The Croods.  For some reason, Scott and I had it in our heads that it was a movie about dinosaurs and we didn't bother to look it up online to confirm.  While we were watching, I kept anticipating when the dinosaurs were going to make their appearance.  Here's a spoiler about The Croods - it is NOT about dinosaurs.  There are no dinosaurs in this movie.  Don't let that scare you away, it's a really cute movie about cavemen.

The flash on my camera blinded them - oops. :)


We had a fun date with Karsten.  We're already thinking of our next date and planning what we want to do.
