It's been a long time!

It has been a long time since last time I posted. So sorry. Alot has happened and we've been busy. We went to a braves vs. yankees baseball game in June with my parents and Daniel and Megan. We took Wesley with us and left Luke with a lady from our church. He did real well. He's starting to have "separation anxiety" so I was a little worried about how he would do, but they stayed at our house most of the time so I think that helped. Everyone had fun at the game, for the most part:) We got there about 2 hours before the game started to watch them practice. Wesley was doing real good until the game started and when the stadium got more crowded. He did not like the loud noise & held his hands over his ears so for most of the game my dad walked around with him. But then later, he came and and was fine and was enjoying himself. So, I'm hoping he's just a little extra sensitive to noises, as I always was, and nothing serious.
This was on the top level of the stadium. They had a kids section where they could run the bases. Wesley could have done this all night. He fell right asleep on the way home.

 

The happy times in the stadium!

 

Luke is crawling everywhere now and will probably be walking soon. Wesley is really starting to enjoy his little brother, except when he plays with his toys. They laugh at each other all the time. Wesley now tries to give Luke his bottle sometimes at bedtime. He wanted me to leave the room so he could do it "all by himself" but of course, I couldn't do that.

 

We are still working on the potty training. It is proving to be very difficult to say the least! Wesley has gone #2 in the potty now but just doesn't want to go anymore. He doesn't want to go at all #1 or #2.Anytime I ask him if he wants to go, he starts whining saying he doesn't have to. Sometimes I'll make him go sit on it and he will go, only after complaining alot. So, I don't know if I'm doing the right thing or not. The other day, Luke went #2 in his diaper and right after that, Wesley did the same thing in his pull-up and came out with a smirk on his face and told me he did just like baby Luke did. Then the other day, I told him to go sit on the potty and at least try and he stood there and peed in his pull-up with a smirk on his face. Should I give him a spanking for doing this deliberately? I don't know if that would be right or not. They say they will do it when they are ready but I'm beginning to wonder if that's true.
