More Potty Training Info.


We have made it to Day 4 of potty training. As you can see, Will thought it was pretty funny at this point. Day 1 resulted in 12 pairs of underwear used, Day 2 used 10 pairs, and finally, Day 3 used only 4 pairs. He has had one accident this morning but he did ask to go, he just didn't make it in time. It has required so much patience and was very different than my experience with Madeline who took the lead more with her training. I know that we are no where near claiming to be potty trained, but each time he had a success yesterday, he asked to go instead of us just taking him. We are feeling like we can take him out of the house for short outings or errands and it helps my sanity to know we can get out of the house! Will likes that too. I am so proud of all the progress he has made and am hopeful that it will continue and improve daily.

During the "Great Clean out" last week, we started to decorate our playroom. One of our purchases was a new bed for Molly and Chloe. They are getting older and prefer to spend a lot of their day lounging around, so they were very pleased with the purchase.
We also ordered beanbags for Madeline and Will to use when watching movies or reading books. We used Walmart's Site to Store free shipping and they are coming one at a time for some reason:( We got Will's blue one yesterday and he was very generous in sharing the excitement with his sister.

I am really enjoying having all this time to post. I hope everyone is enjoying getting a chance to catch up with our family.
By the way, I wrote about Nathan being up for an award and he did in fact win! It was so exciting and he really deserved it!

Yeah for potty training! Isn't it going to be funny to look back at the pictures from this time & see our boys running around in underwear only? They'll be mortified. We are doing good on number 1 but no go on number 2. Oh well - I figure it's the same as changing a diaper.
