How about some Max?




Mae sure has been getting a lot of post recently, and hey, this is Maxed Out, so I thought I'd give an update. Toilet training is taking a bit longer then expected. He does pretty well with peeing, but pooping in the potty is not happening. The really frustrating part is that he keeps saying, "I'm trying," in a really whiny voice. He says it all the time and about lots of things now, it has become his catch phrase. He really enjoys mom's day out and preschool this year. He always walks right into class and could really care less about my leaving or coming back. He comes home with lots of artwork and my fridge is covered. He is always very concerned about Mae's crying. He makes sure to tell us every time she starts to cry. Max has become a big fan of football. We watched the BYU Oklahoma last month and were yelling and cheering at the screen; Max thought this was great. He is now a big fan of the sport and calls out, "Get the ball, get the ball, get the ball." His grandpa brought him a football this weekend, and Max carried it around with everywhere he went. We took Max to the pumpkin patch, he loved it! It was really cold, but we bucked up and kept going cause he was just so happy. He rode the cow train and we all took a hay ride. It was a great time.

So fun! OK, so I had to comment about the potty training. We had a LONG 2 yr potty training "event" with Ethan. It's gotten better but even at 4 I don't consider him 100% on the poop! The pee came easily for him too. Anyway, it didn't help to think I was the only one, so that's what I wanted to say. AND, I happened to google potty training tips on pooping a few weeks ago because we were starting with Avery, and I found a plethra of good stuff/stories that I wish I had found 2 yrs ago. Good luck! You didn't sound too worried, so I hope you don't take this in a weird way :)
