Adventures in Potty Training!

Well back to writing about the kids... We attempted to potty train today. I read a book, "Toilet Training in a Day" and let's just say my kids can not manipulated. I read this book and thought how great to have them totally potty trained in like 5 hours, ha! To do it you have to stay in one room the whole time and only focus on using the potty. I knew there was no way we would make it with out major meltdowns. Well, I was right. We did make it about an hour and a half and each one had one accident. Well then we moved to screened in porch and took their potties outside and they each had another accident. Then we come inside for lunch and before I could do anything Carter has another accident. I am not to found of cleaning up huge puddles of urine. They would sit on the potty, but will not pee in it. I borrowed a potty doll from a friend and they were very amazed to see the doll pee in the potty, but still nothing. In fact one time Carter was even acting like he had to go and when I tried to get him to sit on the potty he refused and I didn't want to force it so I wait about 2 mins before we peed in his underwear. If anyone has any tips on potty training I would love to hear them.


In honor of NC State playing their first football game today here are the boys in their new, mommy paid way too much these, NC State shirts. Carter is in the red and for some reason would not look at me. Cale on the other hand posed for many pictures, but I thought this one was too cute.


Here are the boys the other day posing for a picture with their favorite toy! They had only one school bus for about a year and half and recently started fight over it, so I bought another one and you would wonder how in the world we made it so long with only one school bus!
