Being a Big sister is serious buisness

Wednesday was a potty training success! Katie stayed DRY all day! She's really taking this big sister thing seriously. Now, today we're going to have lunch with my parents before they head off for their fabulous European trip (so jealous). So we'll see how she does on the go. I guess I'll pack several sets of clothes and towels. Wish us luck!

potty training update

(a picture from last summer when I thought we were going to potty train)

Okay Monday went better than expected. Here's the play by play
9:00 woke up and was hesitant at first about panties but then was excited
9:45 first small accident that she didn't know about or didn't tell me - not sure which
10:15 bigger accident in the floor and started to freak out afterwards
10:45 big accident again in the floor but tried to stop it with her hands (yeah gross)
11:30 she got a strange look on her face so I asked if she needed to go to the bathroom and YES success!
12:30 got another strange look on her face and told me she needed to go to the bathroom success again!
2:00 nap and a wet bed (I know, I know should have went with the pull ups at least)
5:00 stood in a puddle and cried while outside playing
6:30 I had gone inside to feed Henry and Scott brought her in with wet shorts
8:00 bed time and a diaper

Tuesday she went to Kim's house in a diaper, sat on the potty a few times but nothing

Now it's Wednesday and we're back in panties. It's been about an hour and a half and we're still dry. Lets keep our fingers crossed but a towel close by :)

Potty training???

Just some fun pictures.

Okay, today is the day! Katie is still asleep but when she wakes up she's putting on panties! I think she's ready (she tells me when her diaper is full and needs to be changed and she doesn't like to be dirty) so I hope this will go smoothly. I'm sure I'll still have to clean up several accidents but I'm ready! Let's just hope she is too.

Easter eve

let me just say before i get started - i'm trying to nurse and keep an eye on katie with play dough while i blog, but this is my life these days!

Thank goodness for nice weather on sat. we were able to hunt eggs and snap a few pics. It took a while for Katie to warm up to the idea of the Easter bunny. She HATED the bunny at the mall - go figure! But once we learned the Peter Cotton Tail song and relized he would bring toys and candy, he's been great. (Side bar - Katie has now lined up the tubs of play dough and is jumping over them screaming "I win the race!" Henry is still eating!!!!) The egg hunt was so much fun - thanks mamaw and papaw. Katie was so funny, she would just put her bucket down and run around trying to carry as many eggs in her arms as she could before dumping them and moving her bucket to a new area. She had a great time. Although it rained on Sun. we still braved it and took the kids to church. Henry did great, sleeping most of the time and looked cute for everyone to ooooh and ahhhh over. Katie walked a fine line between melt down and precious. She just keep asking to walk to the front of the church and get blessed and couldn't understand why we couldn't just go up there any time we wanted. But we made it and it was a good day.
