Potty Training....Oh Boy!

If you ever thought potty training one kid was hard....just try 2 kids at once. Oh and did I mention their only two years old! We started potty training before they even turned 2 because Kenzie decided one morning she hated having a wet diaper on so she took it off and proceeded to pee all over her mom and dad's bed; thus we began the long journey of potty training.
Now we are in month 5 of potty training and things are looking hopeful! However, two steps forward always means a bazillion steps backwards! For one week straight Kenzie told us she had to go potty and went only in the potty. All of a sudden she had decided to be lazy and go in her panties or diaper (whichever one happens to be on). Cooper has great control of his bladder, but even when standing next to the potty, would prefer to go poop on the ground! Seriously kid.....how many times have we told you that poop goes in the potty!
I digress now, yesterday was the official end to day time diapers. This has been an adventure. Yesterday went very well. Today, great for Cooper, but not so great for Kenzie; she had two accidents at the mall. Oh have I mentioned the super cool mall potty?
Mall Potty!!!! If you haven't experienced the family restroom at the Roseville Galleria Mall, you must go! It's super neat and has tiny kid potties! We go every morning just to practice going potty and then we go play at the various mall parks. Both kids love it and request it every morning!
Ok enough potty talk....we are in crunch time. The goal is to have both kids potty trained by the time we leave for Hawaii on September 8th. Wish me (and the parents) a ton of luck!!!!
