Potty Treats

Good Day All!! (I say all as though there are thousands reading this). Well, as the title implies, it has been quite the week of potty-training. Yes, for Miss Lauren. My baby girl is a big girl, although when you ask her she says "I not big girl mommy!!" She is really on top of when she has to go pee and she has not once wet her underwear. This is in large part due to the fact that she is a candy addict who wants her "potty treat", a starburst. Of course, Walker wants one to so he has really upped his trips to the bathroom, but I do give him a treat because he is being really supportive and helpful with Lauren. For instance, when they go together he will say "Mom, look what my sister did!" I usually dread this phrase, but lately it has been good news. The only thing we still need to work on is pooping. She poops in her underwear. She'll get there!!

Today was a special day for Walker. He got to go to his cousin Ainsley's house all by himself. Aunt Vickie came to get him and brought him home (how nice!!). He was pretty enthused and helped make himself a lunch. The only hang-up I had was that Danny and Vickie just got a new dog. My kids are a bit skiddish with dogs, so I did my best to prep him. Vickie said he did okay. Lauren was absolutely heart-broken that she couldn't go (the dog's would have given her a heart attack and it was Walker's special day). She calmed down and enjoyed a quiet day with mom and Brady. On a side note, she will be the most popular girl in high school and college because she loves to strip down to her underwear! She is not a clothes girl. Lately she even takes off her pj's before she falls asleep. Oh well. Pick your battles, right?

Brady has been battling diarrhea and a cold. You would never know this by his demeanor. He is a busy boy and he just glides across the floor like it is nobody's business. He has quite the facination with the electrical outlets so we have to hurry up and dig out the covers for that. I just love how he is so attatched to his blankie (I may take that back later)!! He just pulls it up over his head and buries his head in it! It is so cute!

Well, I think I have brought everyone up to speed!

Lata!!
