Definite Progress....
So we are definitely making progress with Taegen. Saturday we had NO accidents. Sunday we had a pee accident in the evening. He is doing Super! I am very encouraged. This was what happened at church yesterday. I went in to get him out of nursery to take him to the potty. We ran into the bathroom. Sit him on the toilet.
Taegen: "I need to poop."
He seriously starting pushing harder than I thought possible without producing any substance (sorry to be so graphic).
Taegen: "It's stuck"
He proceeds to reach his hands behind him and I hurriedly say "No No No Taegen. We don't touch our bums when we're pooping."
Taegen: "I'm not touching my poop. Look"
I look and he is spreading his cheeks in an attempt to help his movement along.
Taegen (while spreading): "Come out poopies. Poopies come out."
It was awesome. I was so proud of my lil' boy.
I wiped him even though there was nothing in the toilet and so Taegen wanted to try too. He grabbed some toilet paper and wiped and then looked at it (disgusting, I know). He saw a smidgeon and said "mom, I pooped. Yeah!"
So with that...I'll take it! Progression in the potty training area!
One more side note: Taegen called my mom the first time he pooped in the toilet and she told him to call her every time he pooped in the potty and she would put a starburst in a cup. Then when we go to Utah in a couple weeks he will get all his starbursts. So...Sunday morning at 7 am Taegen pooped and HAD to call grandma (5:00 am in Utah). I think she might regret ever telling him to call everytime he poops. She will be getting some early morning calls...but Taegen is very excited about it (as am I)
LIFES FRUSTRATIONS:
This is the mother of all vents. This is what makes the rest of the vents seem huge. This causes everything in my life to be so much more annoying than it really should be.
POTTY TRAINING! What the crap! So, every little kid I know that is around Taegen's age is and has been potty trained for quite some time. The Dr and other people tell me to just wait until he is ready. How do I know? It's very difficult to teach Taegen this because Kyler doesn't have to do it...yet! I have tried a couple times putting him in undies and seeing what happens. The first time, the first day he did everything in his undies and nothing in the potty. The Dr told me to wait and try again in a couple weeks. I have tried having a treat bag in the bathroom and he only gets a treat if he goes on the potty. Doesn't work. I have tried having him pee on cheerios. Doesn't work. This week he has been in underwear since Tuesday. Tuesday he had one accident (pee) at 8:00 p.m. in the neighbors garage (sorry Christy). All day long he peed in the toilet. Great job! Wednesday, he peed his pants. 20 minutes later he pooped and peed in his pants. A couple hours later he peed in his pants. I think he went in the toilet once. Thursday (today). He peed in the toilet. Then he pooped his pants and just ran around with it for awhile before I realized it. Then he peed his pants. What the crap! Seriously, I'm SICK SICK SICK of pee and poop. Between changing diapers and dealing with poopy underwear...I'm done! Seriously though, I would rather change a poopy diaper than poopy underwear. Have I given up? Let's just say...Taegen is still in underwear (although I don't know for how much longer). Help me mom!
Ok. I'm done venting. I still have issues I would like to vent but I will wait until a later date. Good day!

Tumbling 101
Well the boys are signed up for tumbling. Today was there first day and they LOVED it. There is 6 kids in their class (4 girls 2 boys). It was fun. Only one girl peed her pants. Kyler attempted to crawl over the "plank" but ended up getting high centered. They really enjoyed themselves. They hopped on one leg, balanced a bean bag, did circles, did an obstacle course...and that was all the first day. My oh my, what will next week bring?
