It's....

..been a busy week! We are in the process of potty training Matthew right now and some days are definitely going better than others. I think he is finally starting to catch on, though, so maybe in the next month or so we can be done with diapers for him. Here's hoping!

He has also been working on getting himself dressed in the morning. He usually does pretty well, but this is what he looked like a couple of days ago.

I should have pulled out the Kris Kross. A little "Jump, Jump" would have gotten him psyched for backwards day!

Ryan has become our little monkey. I thought it would take him awhile considering his short little legs, but the kid is resourceful. I've caught him multiple times up on the toilet (trying to flush it), up on one of the chairs at the kitchen table (trying to dump my lunch all over the floor), and hanging from the cutting board, swinging his legs to find something that will get him on top of the counter. Now all the chairs and cutting board have to be pushed in immediately after use. And the bathroom stays closed for the most part, except for when Matthew is going potty, in which case Ryan finds some way to throw something into the toilet.

And to top it all off, we found out that we are going to have another little boy join our family. It wasn't a huge surprise since we've been calling him the little guy almost from the beginning. All of these little brothers must really need each other. Now we have to start working on a name. Unfortunately we used our two favorites on the first and second round. At least we have 4 months or so to work it out! Hooray for our third little missionary!
