carys has not had wet knickers since i last wrote about them. this is very good news. she is even getting into the groove of doing several wees throughout the day, instead of two bladder busters a day. even better.
as i wrote before, the kids are tres supportive of their siblings toilet attempts. v.v supportive. we are having the whole discussion with sela (complete with feet stamping and tears) as to why she cant stand when she wees. friday i said, fine, try it (we were outside) and she was thrilled until she got her whole leg wet and then she was furious and of course lashings of tears followed. (it is all my fault).
but in the whole pictures are worth 1,000 words, i am going to shut up and let magnificent post a few winners taken over the summer that sum up the sibling interest in jasper's outdoor plumbing abilities.
GO CARYS!
and, rofl at sela's attempts at upright evacuation. of course, i only laugh because i know (hope) in a few months i will be in the exact same place :).

Way to go Carys....
Sela, I am sorry that you had to find out the hard way that we dont have the luxury of upright peeing
JJ, has the life of leisure.

This is HILARIOUS!!!!!! They are going to love this some years from now. Do I see a wee penis poking out from Jasper's pants?? LOL
I know how Sela feels. I had three brothers and was insanely jealous of their talents. Their favourite thing to do was pee against the burning barrel in the winter when Dad was burning garbage. It would hiss and steam and we got a kick out of that. I was SO MAD that I could not do it also:(
When we were camping during the summers, it was especially annoying that they would go anywhere. Other than that, I am thrilled that God made me female!:)

Great photos, Tess!
Thanks for sharing such honesty!
Some of it makes me cry, and some of it makes me laugh out loud!
Your news is so inspiring to read...every time!
Hugs and love,
Karen

I had a good memory laugh with this posting. I also have three brothers, tried to do the peeing standing up routine as a small child... What a mess.
