How appropriate.
I read the details of the new dare on Sunday and once I read what the dare was I immediately knew what I was going to do the layout about. Potty training. The previous day Tom and I spent a good part of the day changing soaked underwear, cleaning up puddles, being screamed at, being yelled at and trying to be as encouraging as possible while attempting to convince Alex of the necessity to use the potty. It was utter chaos in our house. We were slaves to a timer every 15 minutes I ran to take him to sit while Tom was making everyone breakfast. Then we relaxed a minute while he decided to eat, but that didn’t happen because we had to clean up his mess and run him to the bathroom. Finally I threw the towel in and resigned to the fact that he just may not be ready yet. As ready as I am to finally be free of diapers, we’ll have to deal with them for a little while longer.
This is the layout I did for the dare this week. I’m happy with the way it came out.
