Growing Up

 Little William is getting so big, he is now about 10lbs 8oz and 20.63" long, at 6 weeks.  He is an amazing eater, and he is definitely making breastfeeding a lot easier this time around.  Chris asked me last night what I thought the difference was this time, since I had a really hard time breastfeeding with Clayton.  To be honest, I think it is a little of everything: new kid, more aware/educated, better support, and different diet.

Having two kids is definitely a challenge.  A lot of people said that the hardest thing is juggling the time and getting use to having a baby again in the house.  I would have to agree, and on top of that I would have to say I have had to learn a lot of patience with Clayton and him smothering his brother ALL the time.  I know he just wants to help and love on his brother, but some times it is a little excessive.

We started potty training with Clayton, we are on day 5 and he is doing really well.  He went poop on the potty the other day completely on his own, after days of nagging him to go and him holding it till we went somewhere and he had a pullup on.  He is actually just going by himself now without us even saying anything at all, I do have to say, we are doing the naked route to get him to go.  He isn't able to get his undies down in time to go so he likes being nude so he can just run and squat...whatever works.  Chris is going to work with him on getting is underwear on and off.  :)

Clayton just loves his brother so much, whenever he is harassing him so much with hugs and kisses and trying to get him to move, I have to constantly tell him to leave William alone.  Then with his head cocked to to one side and with all seriousness he says, "But mom, he's my best friend." AW!  You go ahead and give him a kiss...but then leave him alone.  Gotta love my boys!
