Well, no sooner did we show excitement when Carson used the potty unprompted that he’s now refusing to use the potty anymore (yep, back to diapers). And Carson will hate us later for saying this, but he wets the bed every so often, while Braden almost never did.

At least Carson is starting to dress himself. He will pick out his own outfit and get dressed, though sometimes his shirt, pants and/or underwear are backward. He also has been putting on his own socks and shoes, so it’s starting to make Brian’s mornings a little easier.

The next step is for Carson to buckle himself into the carseat, as Braden has been doing for a while. Carson can do the top clasp, but the buckle is proving too hard (it’s even hard for us!).

Speaking of mornings, Braden is often making his own breakfast, which entails putting a frozen waffle in the toaster. (Both kids still frequently help themselves to snacks in the pantry.)

Finally, we’re happy Braden has finally learned how to tie his shoes. He just doesn’t tie them tightly enough, so he frequently is walking/running around with his laces untied.
