The Tales of Potty Training...

Last week we took the plunge at potty training Nicholas. Following his interest on Mother's Day, this daunting task had gotten brushed to the side right around May 21st with William's arrival. With preschool just around the corner, it was time...and so needless to say, we spent the week in the house! Our days consisted of pajamas all day (well, Nicholas wore his PJ top - and bottomless for him), plenty of drink boxes, potty prizes, enough stickers to redecorate a bathroom, way too much Curious George viewing and a whole lot of crafts & playing.

On a good note, William enjoyed the new sights of sitting upright in the Bumbo better.


On Day 2, we took a long walk/bike ride and celebrated dryness (with Nicholas toting his potty prize in the "trunk" of his bike)!

William has really found his hand (looks to be a potential southpaw like Mommy). He's also started to hold onto small toys.

For the first time, the boys played together. They shared a pillow and Nicholas activated the lights and music for William. (Don't be alarmed by Nicholas' appearance - he had gotten a little too into scented markers earlier that day.)

I'll definitely remember this day, seeing my two boys interact so nicely with each other...despite Nicholas being bottomless and marker-stained and both in their pajamas mid-afternoon.
