More artwork? and Reading Material

Here's my budding artist - NOT. If only he would use the "correct" canvas - ack. Thankfully, the markers are crayola washable and not black sharpie.


Nate for some reason seems to be topping the headlines recently. Here he insisted that I get him a book. He has also had this thing where he wants to sit on the potty seat instead of the toilet, which is ewww gross. Anyway, I snuck this picture of him in his "private" moment.

50/50 Ain't so bad! Kevin and Hunter camping

Wow, its been a while since I've posted - apologies to those who check. Good news for sure! I think I can say that Will is officially 100% potty trained, minus any bumps we might have down the road. For the past week he has not had any huge accidents. He stays dry during naps and evenings. I've got him in "real" underpants during the day and have still been putting him in "nighttime" underwear at night due to the fact that I'm lazy and don't want to deal with any accidents if they do happen to occur.

On the other hand, Nate has tottally regressed and is doing his business willy nilly in the pull-ups with a handful of visits to the bathroom here and there. I don't think he'll be far behind though. I truly believe that he is simply trying to separate hiimself somewaht. Now don't quote me since I'm not specialist, but that is the way it appears.

My neice Emylee has been visiitng us this past week too. She is such a doll and of course is in love with the boys and they in turn with her.

I picked her up last weekend down at Mom's. I took the boys down with me and got a chance to visit with my friend Brenda as well. Can you believe not one picture was taken the entire time there. So sad. But truly, I will blame it all on Kevin. I met him down at work and he was late and then we all rushed off. He was supposed to hand me a smaller camera since he was taking mine on his camping trip with Hunter.

Here are a couple of pictures of their weekend trip. They had a great time and it was good that they got to go off and "bonding" time.

Potty Talk

For good reason, I don't have any pictures to share that relate to today's title. But, I was sitting in the bathroom conversing with Will while he was sitting on the toilet doing his business and realized that once again, potty talk is what its all about. Will is quite chatty (in 2-5 word sentences) while he's sitting there describing to me how he's feeling, what's coming next, will he fall in, and finally "all done." Then we stand up, say "good-bye" and flush the toilet.

I enjoy these times and think how in other circumstances "potty talk" is just not appropriate but realize that in my world talk of the potty and all the subtopics related to it, are quite the norm and are filled with humor, excitement, and wonder.

Just things to ponder I guess. I am grateful that Will is the only one that is truly interested in it at this time and I will wait for Nate to join us when he is ready.

I got my memory card reader and card - thank you my wonderful sister - so I might throw in a cute and appropriate picture at some point :)
