space ships and bare bottoms...

we had a sun saturday afternoon building space ships.  both boys needed controls and shooters, and then pace declared daddy needed one, too.  "really tall, like this."  



max took a potty training step back with #2.  i have no idea why, because the first few weeks of potty training he would run in to us and tell us he had to go potty (this happened with both #1 and #2).  and then, for whatever reason, right when i got rid of his diapers, he stopped telling us, and started going #2 in his underwear.  having tried gentle coaxing, spanking, and turning into trunchbull again, i was finally at a loss at what to do.  knowing he hates being naked, i finally decided to use going pant- and underwear-less as a punishment when he went #2 in his underwear.  the first few times he screamed and cried and wouldn't move from where he was standing.  then we started playing...those little cheeks.  


we played outside for a while before bath and bed time.  pace's reading and writing skills are going great!  he sounded out "for max" and "for pace".  they drew a chalk walk with arrows, they were supposed to be silly at one part, and then the arrows directed them to march.
