July 17th: The First Potty and Belmopan Hash

July 17th was a big day for Max. It was the first time he went potty in the toilet. He had been sitting on the potty for a few days now but not actually going. As a reward, he went to the store to pick out a Congrats for the First Pee toy. Surprisingly, he picked a small Tigger toy... so I let him have 3 (Tigger, Piglet, and Eyore. Pooh was all out). He napped that afternoon with all 3 of them but then we had to rush to get to the Hash.

It was a rainy day in BMP. I didn't think Max would actually let us Hash because of the rain but I think had fun. Mark, our friend from New Zealand, helped me carry Max and stroller over the extremely large mud puddles. We went through waste high grass and Nigel, the hare, only forgot the trail twice. It started raining bad when we finished the hash so we all huddled around the tailgate of Nigel's car. Max was lucky and got to sit in the back.



The puddles were too much temptation and it seems that Max started to remember that he use to love to play in the rain.

It was a small hash. Not so many people showed up. But that didn't stop the group of 8 for drinking all of the beer that was supposed to be drunk by 30 people. Kevin didn't hash that day because he had to do deliveries but Max and I left to get Kevin, who happened to have a delivery in the neighborhood, so he had a quick beer.

Unfortunately, a few weeks back our friend Amanda taught Max to 'Cheers'. No, Max did not actually drink that beer. He found an empty so that he could give Daddy cheers.
