"YES" Toddlers

I have come to the conclusion that the boys are "YES" toddlers. If you ask them if they want to help you with something...YES...do you want to try to sit on the potty...YES...do you want to eat lunch...YES...do you want to go to the park...YES...do you want to brush your teeth...YES...do you want to help mommy take cans and papers to the recycle bin...YES...do you want to pick up your toys...YES. It's not just yes...it's YEESSS. They love to help us with any little task, and we like it too since it means we are able to get something accomplished and know where they are and what they're doing.

Eric wanted to cut a tree down in our front yard yesterday. I wasn't surprised when the boys both said YES when he asked if they wanted to help. Connor didn't last long since he has a little summer head cold. He came inside and helped me finish up jambalaya for dinner. Brandon was SO cute helping Eric, and was very proud of himself.

Eric and Brandon are each carrying their branch to the woods.
Brandon had a huge smile on his face the whole time. He marched back to the woods like he was on a mission.
After Daddy took his big branch back into the woods, Brandon tossed his little branch in.
What a big helper!

On a different note, potty training is becoming an interest to the boys now. They sit on the potty throughout the day, and have "number 1" almost every time. I think I'm going to continue like this for a month or so until they get used to it. Next, I'll focus more on trying to get them to "go" only on the potty. One day at a time!
