Potty talk

I don't really know where to start this post. I have no big stories no ramblings from my brain. If you are not a mom or family you might find this post to be extremely boring.

However this has been our little life the last few days.

We have been busy with the potty thing. The self potty training-if it should be called that I don't even know-is going really well. She had one accident on Thursday night because she got so excited over me coming home from shopping with goodies that she couldn't make it to the potty in time. So far this was the only time she didn't make it, I don't think she liked the wet feeling.
However....Ethan has been another story. You may have gathered this by now from my twitter updates, he has developed a temper!

We had to leave the house on a few occasions in search of my sanity, it had flown the coupe!

Every time Kaitlyn goes to the potty Ethan undresses. He then piddles wherever whenever and will not have anything to do with clothes. 

The other day he needed a change so I changed him and threw out the old diaper. He flipped and wanted it back on. I took the garbage out thinking it would be out of sight out of mind.

Not so.

He sat at the open screen door screaming his lungs out for all the neighbors to hear. I am sure they think I am running a circus!

I finally got him into a fresh diaper and he did not like that either. He ended up sitting there screaming mad at me for a good 15 minutes. He was so mad I couldn't get near him, his face was purple and his nose was running. 

I had enough and ripped off the diaper, nursed him and put him down for a nap. 

Naked. 

He was sooooooo happy!

He loves to be naked.

What is with this? A guy thing?

We had to roll up the area carpet to avoid him peeing on it and he then had a huge fit over that, silly little man!

Anyway, he has had these tantrums over anything that seems out of place or out of routine. I think a lot of it has to do with Kaitlyn's potty time and he is wanting attention. I hope he is over them soon. He sure doesn't like change.
Once we get out of the house he forgets about being naked and has a blast. We take the potty with us and go. Being happy is good so we go out a lot and stay out for a while.
I love it when they are happy and distracted.
Kaitlyn finally pooped out after a long day outside put on a pull-up and settled down for a nap in the rocker.

She seems to have grown up over the last week, she is a "bid dirl now mom."

Her independence seems to have grown with the potty training. It is amazing.

Despite Ethan's outbursts he has been changing too. He seems to be making more of an effort to talk. Not just a word here or there, he is actually putting a few together and they make sense.

I am glad, I was a little worried there.
For potty treats the first few days we gave Kaitlyn craft supplies and toy stuff. Here she is making window stickers. The paint dries somewhat transparent and then you peel it off the plastic sheet and put it on the window.

This craft inspired me to break out my paints and get back to work....they are all in the progress stages but I should have 3 to share shortly.
I am now off to put down a sleeping Kaitlyn who is curled up in my arms at the moment and try to make a little more progress painting.

Hope you are all enjoying your weekend!
