Big Boy Jack

So Saturday we started potty training AGAIN....and this time it's working!!!  It is still an adventure, but much better.  I left the boys with Josh late Saturday morning and Jack did well using the potty.  Unfortunately, Josh taught him all about privacy....so now Jack prefers to have the door shut and be in the bathroom alone.  Not a problem, IF his aim was good....or IF he didn't still have poop on his tush when he stood up!!!  The joys of boys!!!  So needless to say we've had our share of misses and plenty of cleaning to do.  Clorox wipes are our best friend right now.  He is getting better and having fewer accidents every day.  YEAH!!!  He does still wear a diaper at night; we'll work on that soon.  One step at a time.

Potty training with a baby is an adventure in and of itself.  Ewan gets extremely upset when he is locked out of the bathroom.  When he sneaks in all he does is get into trouble and create more messes to clean up.  And of course Jack likes to go at some of the worst times...when I'm in the middle of changing Ewan's diaper, feeding Ewan....  There is always some kind of action at the Dalrymple house!!!

Oma gets the pleasure of taking Jack for his first outing as a potty trained boy.  They just left for Panera and then they'll go play at Oma's house.  It's raining so the park is out of the question.  Works out well anyway, they'll be close to a bathroom!!  We'll see how it goes.  He is pretty good about telling me when he has to go, but who knows how he'll be when he gets distracted being with Oma!  He gets so excited when she comes to pick him up!!!

Ewan is napping now and I have my rare quiet time!!  So many projects and so little time!  Yesterday I finally finished putting all the photos in Jack's first year photo albumn (he's now nearly 2)!!! Oh well, hopefully I'll catch up soon!!  Photo albums to work on, Christmas photos to take, birthday party to plan, cleaning, laundry.....IT NEVER ENDS!!!
