More potty talk

The potty training has continued here at our house.
I guess I have learned that you have to do what works for you and your kid. I don't really think there is some magical method to potty training, and I am totally not buying that very many people can potty train there kid in just 3 days.
Gunnar has done AWESOME the last three days (which would be 6 days of potty training). I won't say it has gone perfectly, but we have had way more success than failure. He is really starting to recognize that he has to pee and attempts to communicate that to us. Whether or not we always understand his dances and jibberish are another story. He also had his first poop in the toliet without any promopting from Kyle or I. Usually I see him working it up and rush him to the bathroom and but today he did it all on his own.
His first potty chart all filled up. He loves putting the stickers on, and is really sad when he doesn't get to. Oh the simple things in life.
 The potty chart we started today.
 We have made a few outings without diapers, mostly short trips, but so far he has done great on them.
 Ryker has been a trooper through this all, because it doesn't matter what I am doing, nursing, changing him, rocking him to sleep, etc, if Gunnar has to pee he has to be set down or tossed to Kyle. Poor kid, but he still loves me.
I have a few pictures to share and then a video of Ryker. I can't believe how fast this little guy is growing up. He rolls all over, and is very close to crawling. He inches forward a bit at times, but finds the roll is the most effective way to get places.
Kyle isn't naked...haha. Apparently they were having an underwear party at nap time.
 Something is wrong with this? Why does Ryker think things like this are so funny. Boys will be boys.
 Short pointless video of the boys...

Good Job Gunner!! Also, that picture of Gunner on Ryker's back made me laugh because Max loves to do this to Luke and Luke laughs (almost) everytime!!
