Boys and using the potty

Today was the first day I wished I had girls!  Cleaning up after boys is gross
I am so sick and tired of my bathroom smelling so bad.  Yes I know it is not going to smell pretty, but it has a strong smell of urine. 
I have been cleaning and cleaning it and nothing seems to get rid of the odor.  I finally convinced my husband to help me take off the toilet seat. 
He swore to me that it was not the problem.  That it did not smell bad in there.  That it was all in my head. 
Well he took off the screws, and I was right, there was pee there.  It was not only dried on but it dripped out.  I know gross... and let me tell you it was.  So I scrubbed, and scrubbed.  I "flossed" a wipe under the bowl and the seat of the toilet.  I scrubbed everything so and made sure that I got everything.
It is amazing how much better it smells in there.  It is not perfect, but better.  I just can not figure out where else he hit.  I have scrubbed the entire bathroom.  The only thing I have not done is drained the toilet and taken it apart to clean it.  But that just might be next.

Potty Training - Blessing or curse

Potty training boys is so difficult.  It takes forever before they are willing to be potty trained.

Once you have finished potty training them then you have the problem with aim.

I swear that Tyler loves to see how far he can hit.  I have to clean my bathroom 3 or 4 times a day and it still just does not seem to get the smell out.

I have cleaned on the floor, in cracks, the toilet, the bolts.  It is just amazing.

How do you get that terrible smell out?

I just don't know.  This really sucks.  I wanted to take a warm bath the other day and it smelled so bad I couldn't.

I will find a way to make my bathroom smell better.

I am happy that we don't use diapers but come on I can't stand having this odor every time I go into the bathroom.

Potty Training

I feel blessed because potty training Tyler was much easier than I ever imagined.  He is doing so well. 

He started off having to sit on the potty.  Now all of a sudden he has to stand.  He is so proud of himself when he stands to pee. 

I am proud to, but I have to laugh.  He has terrible aim, he hits everything in my bathroom.  So when he is done I have to go in there and clean it up. 

At least we don't have diapers anymore, LOL
