The pee chronicles...

So we have had many adventures potty training our little man. Potty training Carolina, while not easy, was pretty straight forward. Sit on the pot, pee or poop, wipe, wash hands and flush. Easy right??? Well not so with George, because of a little thing called "standing up to pee"! Who came up with this nonsense? At first we of course told him to sit to pee, it was easier and he really wasn't interested in standing up. Things have gone on like this for some time now. And I will be the first to admit that I'm the one usually asking "George don't you want to stand up to be like a big boy?" But what the heck was I thinking? It goes EVERYWHERE and by everywhere I mean, on the back of the toilet, on him, on me, on his feet, on the floor, on the seat and then just the very last little bit makes it into the toilet!!!! Its pure craziness people, oh and its also one of the grossest things ever. I thought after the whole spit up thing was over I wouldn't have kids spraying bodily fluids at me anymore! Boy was I wrong. Plus its not like its something that I can just tell Ben he's in charge of. No the boy demands to go pee, even if his dad is at work!!! We have tried different things to get the aim a bit better, but so far nothing kicks in until he's half way done already! So I'm off to mop the floor, again and hope for a better shot next time. 
I will keep you up to date on the progress of our little man and his peeing habits. I know your on the edge of your seat... lol

my 5 year old little man LOVES to pee outside...on a tree, on a stick, on the weeds, on the flowers, on the sidewalk...you name it. and, i say, when it comes to potty training, WHATEVER WORKS!!!

Fun times ahead for me and CJ and the whole potty training idea. At least you're not taking it too seriously. :) Still can't believe the kids are so big!
