We got to spend a lovely summer day at Gilroy Gardens with Molly and her three beauties! It's been so much fun this summer staying home with Cooper and getting to do all sorts of different things each day - one of my very favorites - getting together with Molly a couple times!
Molly and her family have a season pass to Gilroy Gardens - I had never even heard of it - but boy, it is the BEST place ever for young kids! They have tons of different rides and they are all for toddlers...which means Cooper got to ride them all! He had such a blast! He loved hanging out with Jessica, Jordan and Max and thought it was so much fun being able to ride all the rides all by himself! He's getting to be such an independent little fella!

Coop on his Nemo fish...I think I was more scared than him - letting my little 2 year old ride alone and me standing behind the gate!

Happy boy eating some puffs during a snack break!
They even have a water area - and it was quite a warm day so it was perfect. All the kids had so much fun running through the water that would pop up randomly from the ground. So fun to hear the laughter of your child - showing how happy they truly are!

Oh yes, so I decided to start potty training Cooper the day before we went to Gilroy Gardens. One thing I told myself before potty training this little guy was that I HAD TO BE CONSISTENT! In order to be consistent only one day after the beginning of this journey, I had to keep Cooper in big boy underwear all day. So I brought this tiny little potty around in our stroller and would hide it behind places throughout the park all day for Coop to go pee! It worked - day #2 with no accidents all through the fun of Gilroy Gardens. People probably thought I was a freak - but it was all about consistency for me to make sure this was a successful process...
Here is the little potty man, leaving Gilroy Gardens, going pee before getting in the car!
This is what Cooper looked like before I pulled out of the parking lot of Gilroy Gardens...proof of a long FUN-FILLED day!
