Potty training #9, shiny old mini bikes, and a new way to bathe.

Creed is learning to use the toilet.

He’s the biggest of mine size-wise to learn this skill. He can maneuver things pretty well compared to his siblings when they were this age. He knows what to do. He knows how to do it. But we’re by no means hitting proficient levels. I was determined not to potty train at my parent’s house, but here we are. He’s… trying. Trying my patience – some. He’s quite excited at having learned how to get much coveted candy, even for breakfast. Now, we work on making it to the toilet every time.

Sterling has been working on fixing up a mini bike that he bought from a friend before we moved here. He’s tinkered on it a good bit, and now it has a new motor and a new paint job. It’s looking downright spiffy now. He’s pretty proud of it – and his brothers are pretty jealous.

Blaine did baby photos of Lach when he was a couple weeks old. I finally got my hands on a copy. I love it.

This is how the little boys bathe these days. I love the utility sink. This is going on a must-have list for when we have another house. Whether it has one or gets one added, these are so worth the effort of putting in!
