Today we begin the quest for freedom from diapers! A good mental image for our determination would be Clint dressed like William Wallace from Braveheart! After changing ~10000 diapers we are finally ready to take the plunge head first into potty training. It goes without saying that we are neither excited nor educated about this adventure. It is truly a leap of faith into the inner workings of the toddler mind and its' attitude toward all things #1 and #2. As most of you who read this know, Clint is always up for some potty humor, but this folks is no laughing matter. At current count the boys have now removed their diapers and let it fly all over their cribs for two days straight at nap time. Thus today the family trekked out to obtain a little BBQ and Potty Training for Dummies from the local Borders. As I write this Terica is informing me that we must pick two lucky stuffed animals to be taught how to use the potty by Caden and Caleb themselves. In addition she has suggested purchasing the video It's Potty Time which includes everyone's favorite song Super Duper Pooper. One final note, apparently after we prep the twins for using the potty we will begin the actual push towards freedom with a weekend entitled "Potty Mambo Weekend". Should anyone care to join us or in fact take our place for this event we would be happy to accommodate you. Wish us luck we're going to need it.
One final note...
Because we are moving soon, we have opted not to start the boys with a new day care during the fall semester. Therefore, Clint will be staying home with the twins while Terica is working and vice versa. We are positive that this experience will make for some excellent blogging...
