Seeing double...

When we became parents there were a few things that we certainly wouldn't have believed we would resort to! Children have a way of making us eat our words so to speak, and they certainly have a way of humbling us! We never thought we would have any potty training issues, and here we are praying every night for wisdom with these potty issues. We have recently tried to making sitting on the potty fun and exciting (I have spend a lot of time sitting in here as well with stacks of books).


We never would have dreamed we would be bribing Zach to sit on the potty by allowing him to play Tetris on our cell phone!! Due to the unfortunate timing of this particular event, no one was available to read to him, so we resorted to this!! He was super excited about his success in the game (made it to level 2), not so much about his success on the pot!

To brighten my morning and my outlook on the situation, I found Eli in his diaper doing exactly what he had seen his brother doing - minus the real phone. This is one of our many pretend cell phones!! Hilarious!!
