Potty Training

I have been off and on potty training Brayden for the last little while. I figure I'll get serious about it after this baby comes I think. So today I decided to let him run around in underwear just cause we were home all day and I figured I could handle it. Anyways, I came upstairs and found him "potty training" all of his stuffed animals in his play room. It was hilarious! He had them all wearing his underwear and waiting in a line to use his little potty. I tried to spy on him as long as I could but he eventually saw me. I have to say the highlight was watching Brayden put elmo in the corner into time out. I guess Elmo was hitting his friends in line because he didn't want to go potty and wanted to wear a diaper still. Sounds a bit familiar I'd say! :) We had to eventually put an end to this game for 2 reasons:

1) He kept having accidents (which is to be expected), but his reason why he didn't even try to sit on his potty was because someone else was using it!

2) Some of the animals decided it was time to use the "big" potty and fell in so I walked into a bathroom full of soggy, toliet water drenched stuffed animals. Gross. We're doing a load of animals in the washer right now!

That is just about the funniest thing I have ever heard! I love that boy! I agree that the best part is Elmo in the corner.

You are good to wash the toys. When ever I've had any toys fall in the toilet, I throw them away. I'm sure my kids hate me.
