Well, here it is: the potty that we put together for Apple to use on our balcony (since we have no yard).  So far it’s been moderately successful.  We’ve had some accidents, but for the most part she’s getting the hang of it.  The potty consists of two bins that go under a washing machine and some fake sod specially made for dog urine (don’t ask me, I guess it’s extra porous for drainage).  The potty hangs off the edge of the balcony and there are drain tubes leading to the bushes below, so we can flush it with water occasionally.  

And here’s a picture of my boys.  Lex isn’t that happy, because I took away the ballpoint pen that he was chewing on.  Mean mommy…

On Thursday night we babysat for some friends of ours.  Lex enjoyed having another kid around.  Here’s a picture of their cute daughter Juliet:
