It's Potty Time

Well with all the buzz around my group of friends in regards to potty training, we decided to take the plunge and start training Carter. He's just so interested in what all his friends are doing and constantly wants to potty "on my own." So we thought we'd take advantage of his peaked interest and off came the diapers on Wednesday and on went the big boy underwear. We've had a couple accidents, but mostly he's doing really well. He loves his Handy Manny underwear and wants to wear them all the time, even at night. But he's not ready for night time training. I've convinced him that the Diego pull-ups are night time underwear. But I'm sure he realizes they are actually modified diapers :)

Here's a picture of him showing off his new duds while he was trimming the grass (yes, the pretend grass in our house).



And here is one of my favorite pictures of the boys. Not because the picture is the best (though, it's pretty cute), but because of the story that goes along with it. Carter was running around the house the other morning and came up to Cole and said "Mommy, I want to hold him" So I put Cole in his lap and Carter said, "Mommy, take our picture." So I went to get the camera and after turning my back, Carter leaned into Cole and said "I love you." My heart melted. He did it unpromted and for no reason other than he meant it. It was the sweetest thing ever. So that makes this my favorite picture.
They really do love each other. Cole was cracking up laughing this morning just from looking at Carter smile. And Carter was making goofy faces and sounds at him yesterday in the car because Cole just kept squealing with delight. They get along so well and I pray that continues.
I just love being a Mom to two sweet little boys. I'm sure a little girl would be just as sweet, but this is just awesome. I now welcome my friend Louiza into the "Moms of Boys Club." She just texted me that she is having two boys. I guess they got the ultrasound results today and it's official. They were pretty sure at the last one, but this one was more conclusive I guess.

Go Carter!!!! Love the Diego big boy underwear... I think that picking out his underwear in the mornings is one of Luke's favorite things right now. I also love the pic you posted of the boys due to the story but also it is a great pic - very sweet!
