Potty time.......or NOT!?!?

Brynnley tells me all the time that she wants to go to the potty. Eric was home all morning so he took it upon himself to take on her request. She sat there with Avery for quite some time. They had a great time together and Avery was her positive cheerleader telling her to go to the bathroom. In the end it was super cute to see the sisters interact and laugh together but no "deed" was done. Hence why I am just not quite ready to tackle potty training just yet. Maybe before baby come though. I think with her sister there to entertain her when the time comes it could possibly come sooner than I expected. As I have said before though, I think this is a case of wanting to do everything her siblings do. She is definitely a natural on the potty though. Ha! No inserts or training potties necessary!

These two are the cutest! They love each other so much. I think there was too big of a gap to enjoy times like these with my sisters when we were younger(not the hanging out by the toilet thing, but just hanging out) we are all super close now though. I am glad I can capture these sweet moments now just in case these two forget when they become teenagers!



I must say I am LOVING having the kids home with a schedule of our own. They get to play together for hours without having to pause to take Thomas to school. I am grateful they can all get along and play so well. Don't get me wrong, they do have their moments as all kids do, but for the most part they just love having each other to play with. I may be a pregnant nut case if it weren't so! Patience can be slim some days!! And who doesn't love a slower morning on occasion.

Besides our big trip west this summer, we have loved seeing our friends, going to the park, playing with the neighborhood kids, eating lunch outside, doing errands, cleaning(kids are learning the summer work before play rules), and they play a lot together so I can slowly prepare for all the upcoming events soon to come. We also plan on doing some summer movies and exploring some new things with friends too. Oh and here's to black dirty feet and hands! Gone are the every other day showers. The kids live outside and it shows at the end of the day.........Ahhhh summer! I love it.

It may not be potty time just yet around here, but we are excited to have party time tomorrow!!!

Big T is going to be 5. He is so excited. We will be having lot's of family fun tomorrow to celebrate the sweetest 5 year old boy I know! More on my awesome little birthday man soon!

  1. I don't know if I told you that Brynnley kept asking to use the potty when she was over here. Even though she had on a diaper, I put her on the potty. Nothing happened but she was pretty insistent:) She's such a sweetie pie! All of your kids are.
