Happenings

Below are photos taken with my new iPhone, that I swore I would never get. The quality is not great, but it is a great way to catch a moment when I do not have my camera around or with me. 

Taylor and Poindexter

Taylor being adventurous. 

She did this little number on her own.

I did not think she could do it, but as you can see she sure did.

John wearing shorts, phase two of potty training.

This morning I took the kids to Target to get some things. 

Both of them watching Dora.

Today is the end of day 13 of Potty training. It is going really well. Since we started, John has only had four peepee accidents and no poo poo ones. On Sunday he started wearing his real big boy underwear and it is going much better then I expected. He still wears a diaper during nap time, night time, and car rides. However the last two days he has woken up dry from his nap and is asking to go straight to the potty. At night he is doing the same, he will get in bed and realize he needs to go and will call for Jason or I. We will get him out of bed and he will go potty then back to bed it is.

For the most part he will tell me when he needs to go, pull down his underwear (sometimes he needs help) and then goes potty. Other times he will just go straight to the potty and do it all by himself and not tell me until he is done. With getting to wear big boy underwear his reward for going potty has increased and he really enjoys his new treat. I am not sure what I am going to give as a reward for my "phase three" phase, and no there is no method I am following word for word so these "phases" are all my own. So far they are working really well with John and I hope it keeps on this positive path.
