Potty Training

Two weeks ago tomorrow we started potty training. Richie and Erin came down to visit so I figured I should take advantage of the help and we started the day they got here. They were good sports and didn't mind a bit! They were trapped in the house the whole week they were here making tons of potty trips a day and cleaning some accidents all with a smile! Thanks guys, you really made my week so much better than I expected it to be!

Rachel has a small obsession with Richie. Every second she wasn't with him she was asking where he was or if he was OK. She was dragging him all over the house to do stuff with her all week too. BFF.

There weren't nearly as many accidents as I expected there to be so that was good. I expected them to pick it up quicker where they would tell me they had to go but that wasn't happening. Just the last two days they have started telling me once in a while if they have to go. If I stay on top of them and make them go every once in a while it is no problem. So it's not as bad as I thought it would be. Although some times it would definitely be easier to have them in diapers, I am so glad the worst part is over with and we can continue to get better at it before the baby gets her, hopefully!

They took turns "reading" to each other too.

How much longer do I have on here? A little ducky rub to pass the time!

 Sharing lipstick, one of their potty prizes. We hung here at the house all week for safety but they didn't seem to mind.

So it's still a work in progress but I am happy with where they are. We can go out now without too much fear so that's good.

Prayers and play time. All half naked.

I had lots of funny naked bum pictures but I'll keep those off of here for now. My book said to have day 2-4 naked days. No panties just shirts. So we did. It worked mostly I guess but it made for some funny pictures. Their naked bum prayer pictures are my favorite!

Looking at our potty sticker charts. Rachel picked princesses and Livy picked Thomas the train.

Baked banana bread twice that week to kill time. I need to do more baking because they love to help do it.

Chatting with Grandma on the phone in her big girl panties! Or boy panties, she likes the truck ones!

More fun with Uncle Richie.

Cutie pies!
