Potty Time

Well we are in day 2 of potty training... going pretty well all things considered. So far this morning we have only had 2 accidents and they were both in front of the toliet in the bathroom. Some friends invited us to go to the museum last night so Mark stayed with TK while I took AJ to play. I didn't want him to think that we put diapers on when we left the house so I just kept him in his "under-roos" as he calls them. Well the museum has automatic flush toliets, which scared AJ. He jumped off that toliet and there was no going back. I tried to get him to go on a different floor ~ he took one look at the toliet and said "no, you do it." So needless to say we changed his clothes on all 3 floors of that museum! (Then it was time to go home, since I only had 3 changes and I didn't want the car seat to get wet.) So this morning I had to go take care of some insurance since we are switching carriers, so after sitting in the office for awhile I asked him if he needed to go. He looked at me and then looked at the lady and said,"Do these toliets have handles." Once we confirmed they were the "ok" kinda of toliets he decided he could go. Thankfully we got out of there and back home with no accidents!!

Tonight we went to Fun Run (only one more night to go!!) and no accidents there, even used the toliet there after much discussion that the toliet would not automatically flush and the nice lady in the stall next to us giving us a warning that she was about to flush. I'm optomistic that this will stick with him and hopefully in a week or so we will be well on our way to diaper free days... not sure what to do about naps and bed time yet.... maybe next year???

TK top teeth finally came in and she is quite proud of herself for learning to "grind" her teeth. I remember AJ doing this and hopefully it won't last that long, that noise drives me crazy!!! She was 10 months old yesterday... I can't believe how fast everything is going.

I'm still working on potty-training Isaiah. We just have to let him go around the house withno bottoms on. Only babd thing is, he gets a little distracted with his you-know-what, then he isn't able to go! What hard work this is!
