Potty Time Take II

Hayes has been running around in his unders and cape the past few days.

I posted in February about potty training Hayes and now I laugh that I wrote at the end of the post "only one in diapers again!" because that didn't quite work out.

This last weekend I decided that Monday was the day. Hayes WILL be potty trained. I told Bracken that I was determined and I was going to be MORE stubborn than Hayes about it. Then of course he laughed as we were going to bed I asked "Will you remind me when I wake up that I'm potty training Hayes?" I'm a little slow to start up in the morning and I figured we'd have to have Hayes try to go first thing so he'd start off successful.

After hearing everyone else's stories I decided that he'd get a cold shower if he had an accident and chocolate chips every time he was successful.


Monday Hayes had two accidents, two cold showers and lots of chocolate chips. He concluded "I don't want any more ax-a-dents or I get a cold, cold, very cold, shower!!" I felt so mean while I was giving him those showers but it was so worth it!

Tuesday He had no accidents, no cold showers and lots chocolate chips. We went to the park with some friends and Hayes was so excited to tell his friend who is potty trained that now he goes "poop in the potty!"

Today he has had one accident but it was at the park and I was on my cell phone so I figured he didn't deserve a cold shower for it. Poor kid, now he always tells me he's not going to have an accident or he'll have a "cold, cold, very cold, shower!!"


Hopefully I'm not premature again in my post but I think we're on our way to getting him in underwear!! Now that we're expecting our third, I'm not going to give up as easily....three in diapers sounds like torture to me!

We Have...

We have a BOY....

We have a Girl....

and around Feb 22, 2010 we'll have another........

BOY!

We had our ultrasound today and so far everything looks good and he is definitely a boy. I've been feeling good, I haven't really had morning sickness at all so that has been a blessing, especially with Bracken having to leave early in the morning for school. Hayes told me he wanted a little brother but that we were having a girl. I guess he's happy that he was wrong since he got what he wanted. Although Kamri can't really voice an opinion, I'm sure she'll just be happy to have a baby in the house because she is obsessed with babies right now. Bracken and I are glad the baby is healthy and we weren't leaning on wanting one way or another. We're excited for February to come, although I'm glad I still have a few more months to act like I'm getting my life under control before the baby comes!

I miss this place.

and the people that live by this place.

and this wood floor....tile is just not my friend.

Buddies

These two do have a lot of fun together:
Kamri loves climbing into the cupboard and carrying around a cereal box to snack on. Once Hayes realized I didn't like her doing it, he decided it was a great idea too!

They've played with boxes a lot the past month!

and Hayes "teaching" Kamri how to use the computer.

oh what a busy boy

Today Hayes kept on asking me to do things with him right as I was busy doing something else. I kept telling him "in just a minute" or "later" and he'd always respond, "We do it tomorrow, ohtay?" At bedtime he wanted to color and I was feeling bad that we had to keep on putting things off so I told him we'd make a list. So we sat down, he told me what he wanted to do and I drew a picture for him, and of course wrote the words for me since my drawing skills are lacking!

I think my to do list needs a makeover because it isn't looking that much fun!

What's on your list?

We're still alive

I've been a blog slacker lately. I have a lot to catch up on, I felt like we were just running the whole month of July but we've had tons of fun! I promise I'll have updates soon...
