This post is just a big jumble of our life in the last while. I'm not guaranteeing that I'll organize the pictures and videos, but I plan to make them abounding. As you can see from the pictures, everyone is getting potty trained around here. It wasn't working so well with Luke, so we thought we'd start with Samuel and see if the young could teach the old. I think our plan has succeeded, because Samuel's had a few successes (I'm not an infant potty trainer, for the record, I'm not nearly dedicated enough. We just happened to catch him in the act and thought we'd save the diaper. Plus it was cute and funny.) And we're happy to report that after much frustration and dirty clothes, Luke has had several potty successes. I don't know how long of a road it will be, but we're feeling slightly encouraged at this point, so we'll just take it a day at a time. Potty obsession is interesting, cheering like a maniac when it works, asking him a million times if he has to go when he has any sort of calm, pensive look, being suddenly okay with a disgusting kid potty in front of the TV if it'll inspire pee...I'm sure anyone without kids would think it's all way too gross for words. But it's the hope of a different way of life that keeps us going, a diaper free life, where bums get wiped on their own and all is well with the world. And so we perservere.
It turns out I'm exhausted and so I'll just leave it at this for tonight. More sooner rather than later, I hope!
