Potty Training....

This month's word is Potty.. brought to you by the letter P.. which has now taken over my life! I never thought I would ever devote so much of my day making sure that pee goes where it's supposed to go.. but alas, motherhood is a whole different story. Forget anything anyone tells you about potty training.. especially if you have TWO TODDLERS. There is no set a timer and your child will learn to go on a schedule.. haha, no that only works if you do nothing all day but make sure you know exactly what time it is at every minute of the day.. which I tried (lol, you should have seen my house!) What also doesn't work is trying to potty train both your boys at the same time.. because *DUH* they both want the duck potty! I mean who wants to sit on the froggy potty while your brother gets the new ducky potty? Not Ayden! lol! So here's what a day in my house has looked like this past week and a half (that's right people.. you can't always potty train your little ones in 3 days like the Internet tells you, haha!) So I'm sitting on the floor next to Garret sitting on the potty... it's been about 20 minutes now and I can tell he's got to pee but he's holding it like his life depends on it. So, it's either sit there for another 10-15 minutes until he gives up the fight or you let him up so he can run to the corner and pee on the carpet, lol.. first option it is. So while I'm sitting there Ayden decides he's a big kid now.. strips down fully naked and sits on the other potty.. but wow how boring is this? So what does my little fire cracker do? Runs! So I've got one sitting who would love for me to let him up so he can pee in the corner.. and I've got one running around the house butt naked who has almost no bladder control.. DECISIONS :) So I decide it will be easier to catch Ayden after Garret is done on the potty.. because for all I know Ayden has already gone and if I let Garret up I will have 2 messes to clean instead of one.. Ohh mommyhood :)

All in all it's really not all that bad... we are still having accidents (like this morning when garret just stood in front of the tv while I was vaccumming and peed a nice big puddle and then decided he was going to splash in it... ahhh) but then again, sometimes he uses the potty just fine. We haven't tackled anything but number 1 yet, but thank goodness he has enough control to hold #2 until he has a pullup/diaper on when he goes to bed. We tried the whole underwear thing ONCE and yeah I'm not a fan of cleaning poop out of fabric.. so we'll work on the night time/number 2 routine after we get number 1 down pat.

They are so lucky they are cute and tell me they love me and give me the sweetest hugs and kisses in the world :)
Oh and that they do this. My two little munchkins <3
