Lonesome RoyBoy

Roy Austin NEVER does this:





This is how pitiful he is when his big sister is at school. He is so out of sorts that he actually lays down with his blankie to watch TV. I think it's adorable how much he misses his big sis!


I've been trying to start him on the potty lately. Believe me, I'm in no rush, but there's nothing wrong with nudging him in that direction...especially since he loves to strip himself lately. We find him naked from the waist down most mornings, partly because he is infatuated with snaps now, too. I have to stop buying pajamas with snaps because he immediately takes them off. I have some cute Christmas ones stored away, too:( Anyway, he does not like the baby port-a-potty at all, so we pulled out the toddler potty seat, which he loves. So far, he hasn't done any business on the potty yet, but at least he enjoys sitting on it and saying "pee pee!!":



Caroline loves to encourage him to go. It's so cute to watch and I think she may be the key to potty-training her little brother. And by the way, I've caught this sweet four-and-a-half year old taking care of business on the baby potty two times now. I guess it's too tempting not to try:)

Donna you are so funny! Love the picture of the 3 of you sitting nonchalantly in the bathroom. Did Roy take it? Funny!

This pic makes me laugh! He has some great cheerleaders!! Hope the training goes well.

Donna said...

Yes, Denise. And I promise I did not pose it. We came home from church and he wanted to sit on the potty. Next thing I know, Caroline is next to me cheering him on, and Roy's taking our picture with his phone! He thought it was a funny site.

That really is a funny picture of the three of you. Good luck with the potty training. I know I'll be wanting to start that as quick I can when I start changing two sets of diapers!

Isn't it sad how brothers and sisters miss each other. Janna was the same way when the other two went to school. Then she quickly realized she could get into their stuff without asking!!! I'm glad RA loves Caroline so much.

So funny about the potty. He looks so proper sitting there with his seersucker outfit on!!!

Goooo Buddy. AP won't stay on that little potty on the floor to save her life. I think I need to get one of those seats for the toilet. Buddy looks very cute up on the throne!

Wow! You've blogged a lot while I was gone. I'm really playing catch up. I love this post and LOL at the first pic of RA. He's so stinkin cute! He's getting so big too. Great family pic in the bathroom too!
