Yay!!!


We are officially potty trained here at our house. Parker has not had an accident in 3 days. We are so proud of him and how quickly he caught on (once he decided that he was ready) I am absolutely loving not having to change his diapers!! Two kids in diapers was ridiculous and expensive. Now we can move onto bigger and better things. I am trying to talk Parker into going to a preschool. I just want to get the idea in his head so that when he is in preschool he will enjoy it. So I am going to be looking into a few places to see what will work best for us. I think it would be great for him to be involved in something outside our home and to be around other kids. Also I know I would love a few hours of the day to run errands with only one kid. If anyone out there that lives around us has any suggestions, let me know.

Potty Training

Well we are on day three of the whole potty training adventure and Parker has done so good. I am so proud of him! He had one accident yesterday and one today. But he did go number two in the toilet today without my help or Matt's!!! We are so excited, I am so glad that he is understanding the concept and seems to understand the importance of it. My little boy is growing up I can hardly believe it!! I hope it continues this good until he isn't wearing a pull up at night!

Wall-E



So I cursed myself on Sunday for posting about how I love church at 11 and that Parker does so good. He was horrible in Sacrament meeting on Sunday and threw a huge fit when I had to drag him to primary. He finally did okay, but I had to leave the room and visit another class because he was so on my nerves. I hope he grows out of this stage!
On a side note before I post what I was really going to post today. We are on the 2nd day of Potty Training with Parker. A friend reminded me of the idea to put cheerios in the toilet and let him shoot them. Well we tried it yesterday and he loved it. He thought that was so much fun. I think that is all we had to do, make it fun somehow to wear big boy underwear and go in the potty. He is a stubborn little boy and we just had to do it on his time. He had a few accidents yesterday, but none today so far. (Crossing my fingers) I bought Spider man Stickers for him to put on a chart each time he goes in the potty and a special treat each time he goes number 2 in the potty. He also gets a big toy when he doesn't wear diapers anymore. Whoever said bribery doesn't work, didn't have kids! Wish us luck, we are hoping he will get the hang of it and be all the way trained before we go on our Cruise, which is in 74 DAYS!!!
Now the real reason I was going to post today, Parker got the movie Wall-E for Christmas and has watched it several times. He even found a box and put it over his head and was pretending to be Wall-E so we altered the box and made it fit him better and we had ourselves a little robot. He is beginning to have quite the imagination and can keep himself entertained for a little while. It is great because he even entertains Paige for a little while. She mostly follows him around, yes she has become quite the little crawler. Some days they will play for about an hour in their rooms together. I hope they continue to play together as they get older. It helps me accomplish more during the day when I don't have to entertain them both all day long!
