What am I going to do with her?!

Escape-artist Hannah, after making it out the front door, jumping the front fence and heading for the street... in her underwear. So of course, I grabbed my camera instead of stopping her. See ya, Mom!

Speaking of underwear...she's no longer wearing them. She absolutely refuses to use the potty. It's not that she doen't know how, 'cause she does. After being completely potty-trained, she decided she just didn't want to do it anymore. Despite this, I thought I could force my will upon her and make her go...boy was I wrong. For weeks, I would make her sit on the potty at regular intervals only to have her mess her underwear moments after she got down. On purpose. So to save my sanity (and the carpet), we put her back into diapers. How depressing. My mom assures me that she will eventually be potty-trained and won't go to Kindergarten in diapers. Let's hope she's right.

"I'm wearing UNDERWEAR!!!"

Universal Truth #1: Boys are dificult to potty-train! My boys are no exception! When Andrew was FINALLY potty-trained (after several agonizing months), we decided that with our future kids, it would be much easier to just wait until they are ready rather than pushing them when we are ready! Up to this point, Logan has shown absolutely NO interest whatsoever! So imagine my surprise today when he asked to wear underwear after his bath! We had a nice heart-to-heart chat about going in the potty, NOT his underwear, then he even let me set him on the potty just to test it out.

Things were going great, so I dug out a pair of Andrew's outgrown underwear (ew, I know, but what else was I supposed to do? I wasn't going to waste this opportunity!) Logan put them on and looked SO PROUD of himself! He immediately jumped up on Andrew's bed (where he could get a good look at himself in the dresser mirror) and shouted, "I'm wearing UNDERWEAR!!!" I had to get a video of him checking himself out in the mirror!

Five minutes later, he peed on my carpet and asked for his diaper back. Oh well, I guess it was the first step!
