Potties and Proud Boys

The boys and I have had a pretty uneventful week thanks to potty training. We really haven't left the house at all! A few friends came over to play on Thursday which was really fun, and a welcome break in the monotony. Luckily, we've had gorgeous weather this week so the boys have been able to play outside quite a bit. Emmett is a full-time walker now, and he's absolutely loving being able to play outside with his brother. Jackson's making slow progress with the potty training... it seems as though it's one step forward and seven steps back sometimes. I'm trying not to stress about it, though. I know it will happen eventually. (It will, right???)

I tell you what, though... these boys get cuter and more fun every single day. My heart just aches with happiness when I see them standing and digging at the sandbox together, or see Emmett toddling along behind Jackson, or hear them laughing at each other, or hear Jackson saying, "Emmmmmmettttttt... where aaaarrrreee you?" Oh, I could totally eat them up!!! Of course we still have our moments of crazy frustration with each other, but they're just so dang fun right now.

I'm not sure if these pictures are inappropriate to post or not, but I thought Jackson looked so cute and grown-up sitting on the potty for the first time! I let him watch George while he was sitting there to relax him a bit.

And here he's reading a George book...

One of Emmett's new accomplishments (besides walking and being able to climb off off of the couch by himself) is climbing up in this chair...

You should see how proud he is when he gets up there. He sits there just grinning away and swinging his feet. Precious!

He smiles and sticks his tongue out almost every time I take his picture lately. :)

Hope you had a great weekend! And if anyone has any potty training tips or secrets, I'm all ears!!!
