Need your prayers!!!

I'll start this post off with 2 recent pictures of the kids.

Jadon- he doesnt want his picture even taken, but at the same time, he doesnt like it when Avery gets her picture taken (cuz then she is getting attention), so this is one of those instances. I was taking Avery's picture, and he wanted the attention, so he asked me to take his picture, but then he wouldnt cooperate, and this is the best I got of him.... little stinker!

We're going to be working with Jadon again on pooping in the toilet. We've been telling him for the last couple months that when the last box of diapers we got for him ran out, we weren't buying anymore and that he was going to start pooping in the potty. Its taken forever for him to get through the box, since he only uses it for his #2's. But, alas, we are almost done with them.... there's only like 7 diapers left...so approximately 1 week's worth of diapers! Yikes!!! I'm scared! Remembering the last time we were potty training... of course at that point he wasnt pee trained or night time trained yet either.

He is doing extremely well with day time pottying and hasnt had any accidents in a really long time, and incredibly good with nightime pottying too! He hasnt had wet sheets for a couple weeks now!

You'd think that he'd be wanting to poop in the potty too, but he is still scared. You'd think that after seeing all his friends in preschool using the potty, he'd also want to ditch the diapers and poop in the potty. But, no. When he announces that he has to poop, we always offer for him to use the potty, but he insists on a diaper. He pretty much does it all by himself... puts the diaper on himself (its a pullup), goes in the bathroom and does his business... the only thing missing is sitting on the toilet. So, i'm still really worried about how things are going to go after the diapers are gone.

Avery's no where near ready to potty train. Although it would be nice if she was! She gets a rash on her tushie so easily if we dont change her poopy diapers right away. A few weeks ago, she had an ugly rash on her bottom, thanks to the mandarin oranges that she consumed, so one evening after changing her poopy diaper, I let her go bottomless for a little bit. She had only had the diaper off for a few minutes, and she already peed on the floor. Then she pooped on the floor right after that. Then peed again, and pooped again... all within a very short period of time (like 15 minutes.) It felt like we had a puppy or something! Pretty gross!!!

In case anyones wondering, we're going to be cleaning our carpets in the near future! ;)
