Art By Karter

Karter created this in the family room a week or more ago. He was quite proud of it.

Potty Training-Part Who Knows

Finally!! The boys are potty trained. It all started when Karter had his procedure on March 26th. He had a diaper on and was hooked up to IV's. Up until that point he had been wearing a diaper and pretty much had no interest in the potty. So he had to pee but they didn't want him to move for several hours and we encouraged him to pee in his diaper that it would be ok. He didn't want to and held his pee for 5 hours. After that point he wanted to use the potty. Of course we have had accidents, thankfully only one in public at the park, involving number 2. Thankfully no one was there and I had a change of pants with me and a potty in the back of the car.

Karter is still not to fond of number 2 in the potty, but he's getting there. He is in underwear 100% of the time even at night. He's not had any accidents in his bed at all. I'm so proud of him!

Kolton was a different story. I thought ok Karter is ready so lets do Kolton too, but he had other ideas. He would pee in his pants every single time and when I asked him why he would say his underwear hurt him, which they didn't. So I told him he could decide when he was ready.

It was two or three more weeks before he was ready. I had bought some more underwear and told Kolton they were his and when he was ready he could start wearing them. Then I let him pick out a Lighting McQueen seat for the big toilet. He was prepared and ready to go. From that point on he began peeing in the potty. They both stand to do this, which is great, but man I have to stay on top of that bathroom as they've yet to learn to aim.

Then a few days later he went number 2 and has not turned back. We have had a few accidents, due to laziness around the house. None out in public thankfully. As of two nights ago he is in 100% in underwear at night as well.

As I think back it was not that big of a deal. Sure cleaning up poop out of underwear is so much more worse than a diaper, but they learn and in the end it's so much easier.

My babies are growing up.

Gone Fishin

If you followed my twitter(over there on the right hand side), you know that we took the boys fishing for the first time today. I myself have not been fishing in about 15 years. We had fun today.

The boys both caught 2 or three fish each. Kolton loved it and was all about reeling in the line and got super excited when there was actually a fish on the end.

Karter caught his fish and then he was done. He had fun but he would rather use electronic devices, like my iphone.

Thank you Jeannie,Hobart, Allison, Nana and Papa. We all had so much fun. Kolton asked at bedtime if we could go back and fish sometime soon.

EDIT: I forgot to say thank you to Paige and Bryan for playing with us at Nana's house. You wore the boys out and they were ready for bed when we got home.

A little Sad.

I keep coming back to this thought. The thought that we would be finding out the gender of the baby soon, if not already. I've been fine with the loss of the pregnancy so far. I mean I've been sad at times, but mostly ok.

I feel sad about this.

What's on Your Face?

The answer would be dirt. Jimmy was going to power wash the green junk off the side of the house and Kolton grabbed the hose and squirted the ground and got both he and Karter a face full of mud/dirt.
