Last month Joey decided he was going to be potty trained. I was hesitant because I didn't want to add "potty training" to my list of things to do. (Am I a bad mom?) He was adamant so that afternoon we bought pixar underwear (to wear around the house), a big costco sized box of pull ups (for going out) and a big bag of m&m's. We were going to go all in or not at all!

Charlie serenading Joey
The first day we pretty much lived in the bathroom, and by "we" I mean Joey, Charlie, Peter and I. We had some pretty awesome moments all together: Charlie making up songs with the Guitar Hero guitar, singing Frozen's "Let it Go" at the top of our lungs, nursing peter on the potty step stool...these will be the memories we laugh about down the road!
I didn't give Joey enough credit because after 1 day he was completely potty trained. We kept him in pull ups when we left the house, but he never needed them. We had him sleep in pull ups but he woke up dry and would use the bathroom first thing. What?! So proud of him!
The underwear life is treating Joey well. He can now tuck in his weapons and the underwear elastic keeps them at his side while running full speed. Go Joey!

That's awesome! Good for Joey. Lila has asked a few times to do it, but I just don't have it in me yet… I guess I am a bad mom. ;) This summer is the time! I hope it goes well.
Sooo jealous you only have ONE in diapers now! Please convince me Jonas will potty train just as quickly as Joey. It's worth spending a day by the toilet if he can master it quickly! I'm quickly growing tired of Jonas' stinky diapers. He shows interest but I'm dragging my feet with it....not sure if I'm "quite" ready yet. Oh and Joey TOTALLY looks like Charlie in that last picture! He's growing up! Sniff sniff...
