Potty Training

I decided to give potty training another try on Tuesday. I prepared myself for a long and painful process since our other three attempts were unsuccessful. She started "school" in the fall and will be 3 in October, so I knew it had to be done. Much to my surprise and elation, after only one accident, she went on her training potty five times on Monday! Yesterday she had a couple of accidents, but then she was successful for the rest of the day. Last night, at 7:00 (which is bedtime for us), she ran to her little potty and started saying "Oh no! Oh no!" She sat down and got a really funny look on her face. I went over to look and see what was going on. In addition to going pee-pee, she had made a nice little deposit. Our deal was that if she went #2 in the potty, she would get ice cream. So, we loaded everyone up in their pajamas and went to Beth Marie's ice cream parlor. She got a kid's chocolate Sunday with marshmallow sauce. I am so thankful and excited for this new stage.

Woolite Pet Carpet Cleaner also works well for two-year-old's.

Abigail felt that Mimi Jerry was also ready to be potty trained. He is also making great process.

This is Abigail on her Elmo Potty. I took the batteries out so he doesn't say something every time she sits down on it, bumps it, or I trip over it.

Mimi's Wedding

This weekend Amanda got married. She is a good friend and has been living in our garage "apartment" for the past couple of years. My children adore her and refer to her as "Mimi". Below are a few pictures from her wedding. We love you, Mimi and Uncle Dan! Hope you are having fun in Hawaii.
