A banana in your pants???

So we are working on potty training Liam. The first full day was difficult with him screaming and yelling and refusing to sit on the toilet. Then yesterday Joe got him on the toilet just in time for him to go potty and that seemed to help him. The first few times going in the toilet were messy cause he was already going, but then last night and this morning he went potty with no mess. Unfortunately pooping hasn't been successful. This morning I took some things out to the garage and as I came back in I hear Joe saying, "You have a banana in your pants?". Then I look at Liam who tells me he has a banana in his pants. When I checked there was no banana, of course, just poop! Well at least he is doing okay with the potty, I am sure he'll figure out the poop thing soon, right?

Potty Training and Fund Raising!!!

So we have officially began potty training Liam. There have been toilet sitting episodes here and there but not to this magnitude. My little man is so stubborn and likes to do things his own way that this whole thing is daunting to me. We had already planned to start this week but on Sunday he told me that he wanted to wear "underwears" so we put some on him. He ended up peeing in those 3 hours later! So then yesterday afternoon we decided to just do it and go with underwear full time (except at night). Yesterday we went through about 5 pairs of underwear and a couple pairs of pants. Since 8 this morning we have gone through 1 pair of shorts, 3 pairs of pants, and about 6 pairs of underwear! I'm going to be doing a lot of laundry! I know we haven't been working on it for long but I am already frustruated! I'm sure once he goes in the toilet once it will get easier, just have to get him to do that!

Besides potty training I am trying to raise funds for our Relay for Life team. I really don't like asking people for money but that is one way it has to get done. We have already had a Bunco night and a garage sale that have helped us raise some funds. We are having another Bunco night tonight (which I can't go to because Joe is at work and Liam is potty training) and another garage sale on Saturday. If you read this and want more information about Relay or our fund raising events let me know.

Oh and since people just love to see the kids I will post a recent one of Liam, Lainey, and Ferris (who is now in Egypt visiting his grandparents for the summer) eating popcorn one night.
