Victory 1:
Our beloved cougars represented despite the horrible odds against them! What a great game against Oklahoma! We are so excited for another season of BYU football.
Victory 2 (and the potty battle of death):
Tyson loves to "make bubbles" in the potty when he goes number 1, but he has refused to sit on the potty to go number 2. I've displayed several fabulous prizes for him if and when he ever decided to even just sit on the potty (it's a basketball... who wouldn't want to sit on a basketball potty!?). One such toy was a cool motorcycle toy. This morning however I thought all was lost. After changing a horrifically disgusting diaper (and gagging a few times...) I finally just said, "That's it Tyson, you are sitting on the potty today!" He screamed about how scared he was and decided just to go number one for me to end the battle (He stands up to do this). I decided to just show him what the cool motorcycle toy did so he knew what he was missing out on, while thinking in the back of my head that he wont do it for another year... I'm sure of it. Well tonight, folks, he grabbed Devin's hand and asked him to take him to the potty so he could play with the motorcycle toy!! He tried to go for a while, but Devin realized there just wasn't anything there, but the poor kid was trying so hard! We praised him for trying and let him play with the toy for a little bit. I talked to him later and he told me in almost a sad voice , "I tried mommy. I tried for the motorcycle toy." I told him how proud I was for trying and gave him a big hug. I'm just so glad he's not scared to sit on it anymore!! Anytime I've tried, he's screamed bloody murder and clung to me for dear life. One battle down... I wonder who's going to win the war...

Don't worry-you will win in the end. Ha-that was not supposed to be a pun, but it came out punny! But seriously folks they all figure it out eventually, don't be discouraged! The game was so fun! Thanks for having us over! Go COUGS!
Yeah Tyson! That is the first step to a potty trained kiddo! Maybe we should come over and he can see Mason do it. That is how Mason decided he was ready and that helped his little friend become interested.
Heh Heh! That's cute. I hope you win the battle. Grandma and Grandpa came over and we watched the couger game at a friends house. I kinda lost intrest and jumed on the trampoline but it was funny to hear grandpa and dad screaming, "YES!!!!" and "OH NO! THAT'S HORRIBLE!!!" and "I CAN'T BELIEVE THEY WON!!!!" They were scereaming the whole time.
Don't worry....he'll be potty trained by Kindergarten for sure! LOL! He's way ahead of Cason who is still working on being consistant! Darn kids. Why can't they just flip and switch and do it all the time???
By the way....your kids are good luck charms dressed up like that. Keep it up!
Yeah potty training is a real chore, just send him outside and tell him to pee on the bugs,we are in the process of potty training teegin and i thinks he has pooped and peed outside more than on the toilet
Ahhh, the potty battle!! I am not looking forward to doing it again...what a cute little family you have!! We need to get together and play with our kiddos!! I bet they'd have a blast (we'd probably have a good time too!!:))
Hope you guys are doing well!
