Potty Training Blues

I am trying to potty train Benjamin. We are having some luck but he just doesn't want to do it. He just likes playing in the bathroom and flushing all the toilet paper. I am working on it but I hope it will click for him soon.

On to another subject. I got to say good bye to my brother Clayton on Monday. He goes into basic training in South Carolina on Monday and he will be gone for 6 months. I was having a hard time knowing waht to do aobut telling him goodbye because our relationship has always been very rocky. That is just because our personalites are so different. I love him very much and am so proud of him. I was able to get a hug from him as I was leaving to take my boys home and I just started to cry. It is extremely hard for me to say good bye and I know that he is doing what he must to take care of his little family. I am just grateful I was able to say goodbye and I hope that he knows how much I love and admire him.

I am grateful to have alex and Benjamin to take care of even when they do try my patience at times. Benjamin is learning his ABC's and it is so fun to see him learn. He is talking more and it is funny having him engage in a conversation with us when we did not know he was listening to what we were saying.
