Potty Training

One week down of potty training and Nathan is trained. He was a piece of cake to train, and atleast I know I can do it now!! I'm still working with Lexy. She is doing really good, but the break in the day when she goes to school is really hurting us. I have to put her in a pull up for the bus and for school, so I think maybe spring break we will finish the job on her. She hasn't had any accidents at home, but I'm not sure how well she'd do without the constant reminders. Like I said though, I'm proud of her, and I think she is well on her way.
Gotta go, time for bed around here!!! Liz

Potty Training

The dreaded month is here....the month to start training the kids to use the potty. Lexy has been going #2 in the potty for over a year but can't quite get the peeing in the potty down. Nathan went yesterday for the first time and promptly told me "fishing pole now, Mommy?". He went again today and said "tackle box now, Mommy?". Before he runs my savings out, I bought a bag of kit kats (his favorite), and now that is his special treat for pottying. The both have done pretty well so far, so as long as I can keep up, we will keep going. Everytime one uses the potty, the other is screaming b/c they want on the potty too...fun times!! Diapers are costing us close to $150 a month now, because we added Camryn in the diaper business too. Way too much to spend on something that is filled with you know what and thrown out in the garbage!!
Other than that, not much going on. Lexy had her IEP this week and it went pretty good. I'm going to go and visit and make sure I like this set up first, but I think it will work best for Lexy. She'll spend 60% of her day in the regualar class, and the other time she will get more one on one in special ed. Camryn is growing like a little weed, and has the best little personality ever. She loves watching Lexy and Nathan and all the crazy things they do. They are her entertainment, no saucers or bouncy seats needed here!! She has had the sniffles the last couple days, but I'm just giving her breathing treatments again and hopefully it'll pass soon without much hoopla. Nathan is our little talker, and could carry a converstaion with you all darn day long. He loves to sing now, and his favorite is the Winnie the Pooh song right now. Right up my alley!! He is obessed with bowling and fishing on the Wii. Hence the fishing pole prize!! We are going to have a bowling party for him for his bday, so I'm really excited to see how well he does.
Well better go, off to shut off the potty timer and get going once again. Have a good weekend!!
