Milestones. or potties and k-5


the 2 big kids starting their 1st day of school! sum and miss e have been friends from birth.

little brother waving goodbye as his buddy goes off to school

a few minutes later this is what i found g doing ;)

i had sent him to wash the jelly off of his hands after breakfast...

and the clever little guy figured out how to pull the stopper on the sink....

and make himself a mini bubble bath!

sum getting some practice w/ the son of one of our friends (he is SO good w/ babies!)

so, we've been working on potty training while big brother is at school....

after a success, g put his undies on his head and did the potty dance naked while eating his favorite candy, smarties! then he killed a little time on nickjr.com until it was time to potty again ;)
he takes his job as resident underwear model seriously

this house is officially inhabited by 2 big boys! sum started k-5 a couple of weeks ago and g is potty training. sum has loved the first weeks, has a wonderful teacher, and is in the same class w/ one of his best buddies. a mother's prayer answered! i hope that he'll continue to enjoy learning. as for the younger brother, we're doing pretty good so far. he's been going a little on his own for the past few wks, but nothing consistent and this summer has not allowed for much consistency! so, we're trying to tackle it before our sweet baby arrives.

Those pics had me laughing out loud, and the one of them waving had me crying! You're so talented!! In the last pic I think Grayson looks identical to Jamie...that's the first time I've really noticed that! Keep em coming!!

Okay ... so, your kids are hysterical! I LOVE those pictures ... especially the underwear model ones ... too funny.

If my coworkers wouldn't think it was weird, I might put my underwear on my head after a successful go.

Have you ever read Eloise? In our house we quote it all the time. In this case..."underpants make a nice hat." Love all the pics!
