In the beginning, he was excited about showing his little brother trucks and trains, but wasn’t too thrilled about sharing his mom and dad. There was a lot of jealousy at first, but as soon as our littlest starting taking those first steps, the two of them have become two peas in a pod.
Our youngest wants to be just like his big bro and our oldest is a willing teacher. They dress alike (ok, I dress them alike), talk alike and give each other nicknames, from Bo Bo to Breakfast. Yeah Breakfast.
The littlest may not always be sure about Bro’s crazy antics, but he is quick to join in. Since turning two, he has started to show interest in potty training and wearing underwear like his Bro.
With our oldest son, we took a very relaxed approach to potty training and it worked really well for us. When he started to show interest, we started to let him use the potty. It wasn’t a quick, train in a week deal, but after a few months of trying the potty and getting the hang of things, he was potty trained! We’ve been doing the same with our youngest and so far so good. Since he wants to be just like Bro, but isn’t quite ready for underwear, we have switched him to Huggies Pull-Ups Training Pants. They’re easy to pull up and down for those bathroom breaks, but still keep him protected! Plus, they currently have a Cars 3 print for boys, which honestly, both of my boys have been excited about.
There is a bundle going on at Sam’s Club right now, $10 off any two, or $18 off any three diapers, wipes, and pants, so I ordered a box of Huggies Wipes and Huggies Pull-Ups for In club pick-up over the weekend. Have you been using any of the in-store pick-up options lately? I have been using them everywhere! They are a total lifesaver with two little boys and when I found out that Sam’s Club had started to offer the service, I jumped right on it. I made my order online, then pulled up in front of the store. They brought out the cart, fully loaded. So easy!
We’re hoping our not so little bundle of joy will be potty trained soon, but until then, he is loving feeling like a big boy in his Huggies Pull-Ups and I’m loving the savings at Sam’s Club.

Great job writing this girlie!!! Good luck with the potty training. It took my son FOR-EVER (he’d love knowing I just told you that on the world wide web…LOL) He definitely had a mind of his own.
Haha!! My older son was so quick to potty train, I’m just waiting for this one to take forever! They’re all so different!
