That's what brothers are for...

So, as you know, I started potty training Gavin a few weeks ago, and it is going pretty well. He is still not night trained, which is fine, but he is pretty good about day time and I haven't changed a diaper in almost 2 weeks now! For a couple days he was actually telling me he needed to go potty, but then he stopped that and every time I asked him if he needed to go he would still say "no" even if I knew he did. On a good note, he doesn't fight me when I say we are going potty anymore, and I know he really needs to go when he grabs himself. Typical boy, right???!

Anyhow, I have been trying to only use pull ups @ night, but have to also use them at the gym because the workers are not allowed to help them pull their pants up and down, they are only allowed to let them in the bathroom.
The first few times we went, I kept telling him that he had to tell the teacher if he needed to go, knowing he probably wouldn't but thought it was worth a try! Then, I started telling him that he should tell Kaden if he had to go because he is allowed to help him with his pants. I thought this was a pretty far stretch, Kaden isn't even 4 yet, and he still doesn't always make it to the bathroom on time!

But then last week I went to get them and when I walked in the gal at the desk said theat Kaden had helped him to the bathroom and went in with him! I was shocked!!! I found them and Gavin was yelling "pee pee in the potty" and Kaden was yelling "I helped him mom!" I couldn't believe it! Then Kaden told me that he helped him "tap, tap, tap" when he was done! Wow, to have been a fly on the wall for that ordeal. Plus, when I checked Gavin's pull up, it was on backwards! I am not fully sure what went on in that bathroom, but there were no accidents so I am thankful:)

What good boys I have!

So cute! It's funny how excited kids get with little things like that. Good job Jaz on raising smart kids!

Wow Jasmyn, you have much more determination than I do!! Good job. Also, I've totally taught Drake the girl way to pee. Sitting on the toilet, and WIPING!! No tap tap here. Am I mean, or just clean?

Kristin, you crack me up! Gavin still sits on the potty too, but I didn't teach him to wipe! Although, most of the time he prefers to go outside and pee in the rocks. I guess it is kind of like having a water gun, right?

Josh told me that boys don't wipe. I think that's weird.

Good job, boys! Hooray!
