Well – I thought I’d try the potty training thing yesterday and…. that is not happening anytime soon! Yes, Benji is almost 3 now so I thought if I pushed him just a little then he could do it. So I made him wear big boy underwear and when he peed on the floor we cleaned it up and talked about going on the toilet and then when he pooped in his underwear we went up to the toilet again to try and finish. We went to the store right after we had the first two incidents so I thought he was safe to go in his big boys but he did it again in the parking lot. So by nap time we were happy to put a diaper back on! … the kid that I once thought would potty train himself at age 2 continues to love his diapers and his parents are resolved to wait – atleast until he is 3 and probably until after any summer trips. Benji wins this round.

The big news for Packer is that he can come down the stairs by himself now!!! He just learned to turn around at the top and come flying down on his tummy. This is wonderful news because I can now go about my day without checking the top of the stairs or wondering when he is going to need to be rescued. It’s a big deal when you live in a split level cause there are stairs wherever he goes.

 

My sister Tracie lives with us right now while she finishes Dental Hygiene School and then gets married in June 🙂 . The boys love playing with Chicken Wing and Ben and I like having her around too.
