Boys will be boys...

Well, we are in progress with potty training, and Dylan is really doing well! Today he was FIGHTING us on using the potty one last time before bed. (screaming, kicking, rolling on the floor) When I thought it would be 'funny' to offer that he try to go outside to go potty (like his good friends Kobe and Cheyenne, the dogs, do). Amazingly, the tantrum ended and Dylan sprinted off to water the entire back corner of the yard.....

Lesson to Mom- no joking around unless you expect to be taken up on your offer.

Hi-I am so excited! Ava has worn underwear for 2 days straight and is peeing in the potty all the time. Only 2 small accidents. As for poopie, no good. She holds it until I know she has to really go and I put a pull up on her or else, she'll actually ask for a pullup to poop in. Funny!!!

Love, Christina

I've heard potty training boys usually includes allowing them to "go" outside!

Paul just introduced me to your blog and I LOVE it! What a beautiful family you have.

Hope to see the Elder clan at a game this year.

omg...It's in the genes. Ask your mother about Ashley proudly holding her undies up in the air, while "watering" the lawn. Hey, she did what she was told & kept her undies dry!!
