Call me crazy, but the rumors are true...Austin is peeing in the big potty!! For the past two weeks he has been taking his diaper off and attempting to put a new one on himself (this is without proper supervision - and usually involves poop). So, I finally gave into him and slapped on some big boy unders! And I must say, he is doing awesome! Well, as good as you can do when you insist on standing up to pee and have HORRIBLE aim. There is pee all over my bathroom, but hey, that's a lot cheaper than all the diapers I have to buy! Seriously, though, he is doing great - it's a lot of work on my part since I have to constantly remind myself to take him to the bathroom, but if I remember to take him, he pees almost every time! And (this might be too much info for you if you haven't experienced potty training) he has pooped TWICE in the potty!! YIPEE!! I'm sure my mother is laughing her head off behind my back as she hears me singing fun songs about peeing and pooping in the potty, cheering endlessly about hitting the "water target" - I'm sure this is hilarious for her! This has also been a true test of patience. You can't get mad or discipline for having an accident, which is soooo hard when you see someone peeing on your new carpet. But he's got to learn and that is going to take time. Anyway, we are definitely keeping busy here at the Turner's with a newborn and a potty trainee...luckily Shawn's parents offered to keep Ashlyn for a few days since she was not handling the potty training well. She's not getting much attention since all the songs are directed at her brother. She has been trying to stand up at the potty and pee just like her big brother which is hysterical...and you'll see in the following photos that she even attempted to get IN the potty - just for some much needed attention. So, she is out at the farm getting spoiled while Austin hangs out in his new unders - isn't he the cutest!!
The other pics were of Austin and Ashlyn having the time of their life jumping off the couch onto a pile of pillows - this went on for almost an hour - nonstop fun around here!!
Hope you are having the time of your life!
