potty time!

So Annika has been showing an interest in the potty already. Probably mostly because she sees everyone else in the family doing it, so why not? The other day she said "poop" and led daddy upstairs where she proceeded to get out the potty seat, set it on the toilet and ask for her clothes off. Then Ryan got her up and guess what? she went! Then Patrick decided to be the good big brother and take over "holding" duties. She is too little and gets scared she will fall in, so in a very reassuring and encouraging voice Patrick helped her out.


and a few from bath time the other night



and Patrick drew a Centipede with his new bath crayons

Potty like a big boy

Before each bath I try to remember to sit Patrick on the potty. Last night we put him on, ran a little water for encouragement and bam! We had pee in the potty.

*yeah, he'll hate this someday. ;)

Patrick peed on the Potty!

I can't believe I forgot to write about this. Last week, I was doing something in the bedroom and P was in the bathroom. He started to get really quiet, so I went to go see what he was up to. He was sitting on top of the toilet seat smiling with Ryan's toothbrush in his mouth. I got him down and then got him in the bath. After his bath, I set him back up on the toilet seat so I could clean up. I went to get him and he is sitting in a puddle of pee. Yep, he peed ON the potty!
