Potty News

Last weekend we startd potty training Aedan. He started out being completely clueless on how to pee. I had to make him just sit on the potty while I (or Ryan) read books to him. After a week of training, he is doing really well. We are so proud of his efforts. We've gone through a good number of pullups, but in the last two days, he has been telling us that he needs to go more (and is dry:)! Hopefully he will continue to make progress, and be able to wear "big boy" underwear soon! It will help financially, also, to only have one in diapers. I stocked up on diapers throughout the spring (when on sale) with the hopes of having enough diapers to last until Aedan was potty trained. It looks like the timing will be close:)

Tragedy struck last week when one of Aedan's stickers accidently fell into the tiolet. Ryan flushed the sticker, and the boys were in complete shock...which led to tears and sobbing. With his knowledge from Nemo, Josiah said in horror, "All tiolets lead to the ocean. The sticker is going to the ocean and we'll NEVER get it back!" The boys cried and cried, while Ryan and I tried not to giggle. Once they were calmed down, Ryan told the boys that maybe a dolphin would find it and put it on it's dorsal fin. And, maybe we would see the dolphin wearing it next time we go to the beach. This appeased them a little...I'm sure they'll remember the sticker that went to the ocean next time we're at the beach. They'll definitely be looking for a dolphin!
