Well Carter did great potty training the first two days of being in bog boys pants. On Saturday we had a lot of errands to run, and Carter did not do so well. When we ran errands on Friday he did great, but on Saturday we tried when we got to the store only to have him go in his pants about 10 minutes later. Because I was already exhausted from the boys adjusting back to Colorado time and waking at 4 we just went back to pull ups. He doesn't seem to mind to much and I think its probably best that we get readjusted to our routine before we went ahead anyway. Hopefully within the next month or two we both will be ready to go for it again.
Tyler had found monsters - or at least he thinks he has. The last two nights when its time to go to bed he tells us he is afraid of the monsters. When we ask where the monsters are he says outside. He then asks us to lock the doors - we always comply. We have been talking a lot how monsters aren't real, but its ok to be scared. We also talk about how mom and dad and God protects him. Tyler then reminds me that doctors also protect him - as do angels. When he woke up this morning I asked him what he dreamt about. It went something like this:
"The monsters were eating all the hippos hay. They ate it all up. Then the hippos got more hay to eat. The monsters looked like hippos. They looked like elephants"
For some reason it sounds more like a trip to the zoo than Monsters. Love the imagination.

Just an idea in case monsters get bad at your house in the future. Carissa started having a bad time going to bed about 6 months ago because of monsters, and Gabe just followed her lead. I tried talking to them and saying things similar to what you said that you told Tyler, but it just got worse. I bought two cheap spray bottles filled one with water for Gabe and one with mostly water and a little bit of scented spray for Carisa. Before bed they sprayed where they thought monsters might go (doorway, under beds, etc.) and they just went to bed no problems. After a couple of weeks they only asked for spray once in a while and haven't used it at all for months now.
