Will and his Diaper

I've been having the same question asked over and over.

"When are you going to start potty training Will?"

Sigh. When I truly think he is ready, then I will start.

He has shown some signs of readiness, I'm just waiting for him to start showing stronger signs. I do think they will be coming soon. We have even considered buying a potty chair so we will have it ready when he is.

But, this entry isn't so much about potty training as it is about his diaper. And the fun he has with it.

A couple of weeks ago he found out how much fun it is to take it off. It isn't a big deal if he is out with us, but when he is in his room and just hangin' out before his naps or when he gets up in the mornings, well that is when we have issues.

Yesterday, I walked in and he was sitting in his crib, shirt on and pants and diaper off. He looked extremely ridiculous but very proud of himself. Of course, that was the third time in three days that I had to change his sheets. The morning before that he had decided to pull out the absorbent gel in his diaper and strew it across his room. Fun for him, not so much fun for me. So, our solution? Duct tape. Yep, I'd like to see him try to take that bad boy off now! Ha!

Duct tape. The perfect solution for everything. :D

Here at last

Wow.

Haven't posted anything new in ages.

Mainly because I haven't had a computer or internet! Thank you Grandma! Hugs to all who have helped!!

I don't even know where to start it has been so long.

Harry is 5 months! Will is two! And Josh and I are living in our own place. :D I love our little apartment, it's my own personal haven. There is no mistaking it though, it is small and it doesn't have a washer and dryer so it just gets smaller by the laundry that piles up to the sky. (Okay, so tad exaggeration there.) Also, the kids' toys seem to multiply daily. Will enjoys dumping them all onto the floor and then walking away. He leaves his pile for me to clean up. Wonderful. Love it.

Will has been talking more and more lately. Of course his favorite is still, "What's that?" But let's not forget the infamous "poop" and "butt." He is practically obsessed with those two...isn't that nice? He loves Elmo (or as he says Helmo) and Pooh. (Yes, the actual Winnie the Pooh but he likes the other kind too. hehe) He also assigns the name "cow" for any animal he doesn't recognize. It is like he is thinking, "Alright, so that's a dog and that's a cat. Don't know that one so it must be a...cow!" He loves to give kisses and hugs but also enjoys throwing tantrums too. Good thing they are pretty short lived.

Harry is the complete opposite of Will. He is demanding and loud and cries... alot. haha. He is also advancing physically much faster than Will. He is already getting up on his toes and trying to get onto his knees. Will didn't even try that for months down the road...and he really wasn't that interested in it. Harry can also put his binky in and out of his mouth. He can roll around his crib, find it, and then roll away with it. He loves his tummy. Every time I put him on the ground, he immediately reverts to tummy.

Alright, so that's all I have time for now! Post more lata!
