Potty Training

So, as far as the potty training, it is going. Alex isn't always going but I am working on it! He actually is doing pretty good. I did forgo the underwear for a while, I should probobly start that again. He has been doing pullups. He is to the point where I am not setting a timer and he'll usually run in and go on his own. He even did the #2 today completely on his own! Now that I was impressed with. Bad part was that he decided to dump it out of his potty into the big potty by himself. Nice of him to want to clean it up but I told him to let mommy do that part! That could be very messy!

In the picture below you can see Nia hanging out with Alex. They are such a cute pair! Alex always wants me to come and sit with him so I recruited Nia to be his support. She gives him books to read and talks with him like a good sister! If you can see on her right hand there is a red sock. She has discovered that she likes to put socks on her hands. She'll leave them on forever! She also likes to put clothes on over the clothes she is wearing. But, she will put the pants on her head and bloomers on her arms. She is so funny! They are very entertaining!

The funniest thing that has happened is that Alex has taken it upon himself to potty train Nia. No joke! The other day Alex came upstairs and said, "mommy, Nia is not poopy!" I thought, ok, that's nice and went back to what I was doing. Then upon coming downstairs I see Alex in the bathroom with Nia, her diaper is off and he is showing her and trying to get her to sit on his potty. This of course after she has pottied all over the floor. It was cute the first time, not so much the next couple times. I told Alex he is NOT allowed to take off Nia's diaper. They never tell you about this stuff in the parenting books!
