Potty Update

Potty training has been going great! She's had one or two accidents a day this week and on Tuesday she went poo poo for the first time. Which is HUGE!!! Reagan is weird about going in her diaper, she holds it, so I didn't think she would go poo poo for a while. To my surprise, she went! But what's even better than that.....today she was accident FREE!!!!!!

That means no tee tee to clean up!!! No wet panties!!! And no diapers!!! She went this morning in the potty before we left. I decided to put her in a diaper because I didn't know how long we were going to be out. We were gone from 9:30 - 2 and when we got home her diaper was dry. I put her on the potty right away and she went! The rest of the day she went in the potty and there were no accidents!!!! (let's just hope it wasn't a fluke!)

I have so many cute pictures of her sitting on the potty, but for some reason she is naked. Darrin would kill me if I posted them, so I guess I won't. Instead I will just post some cute ones of her swinging yesterday in the backyard.

Tee Tee in the Potty!

Wahoo! I can not describe the feeling watching Reagan go tee tee in the potty for the first time. I was so proud I could have just cried! Silly I know, but that's a huge accomplishment!

I wasn't planning on starting potty training this weekend, it just happened. Two nights before, she woke up crying when her diaper was wet. I realized she was not wanting to leave her diaper on if it was wet so it might be time. Then last night she held it all night and woke up dry. I knew she had to go so I sat her on the potty right away. We waited and waited and waited and finally about 30 minutes later she went!! I decided it was time, no turning back and straight into panties she went!

Since I am writing this on Monday night (3 nights later) I can update how the rest of the weekend went. We had a busy weekend so it was kinda hard to focus completely on the potty training, but she did pretty good. Friday she went twice on the floor and that night she had 1 accident outside. Saturday she tee teed twice in the potty, once on the floor and once in the swimming pool. (it was so cute, she looked over at me and said, "I'm going tee tee.") I couldn't help but laugh, I'm sure it won't be the last time she goes in the pool! Sunday morning she tee teed in potty and may have had 1 accident, the rest she went in the potty. And then today she went potty 3 times and had only one accident!!! Tonight we were outside and she was a little squirmy, I brought her in and she went tee tee right away. I could tell she was holding it, which was great.

So hopefully we are getting somewhere. It's hard work and very frustrating sometimes, but when she's goes, it's so worth it.

Wish us luck, I hope this isn't too long of a process!

Random Pictures

Not a whole lot going on lately. If we don't go to the park or to April's house for a playdate, or to Chick fil lay, we are usually home. There aren't many places I want to go that is worth getting out of the house with 2 kids. Luckily the weather has been great so we are able to spend time outside. We are doing much better with all the adjusting. Gray is napping during the day, Reagan is almost back to normal (as normal as you can be for an almost 3 year old) and I am getting better with 2 kids. I think after 2 months we are finally back into the swing of things.

I had a bunch of random pictures on my camera that I have taken over the past 2 weeks. Just us in our normal day every day routine!

Sometimes we color outside,

or play babies.

She loves to swing,

and spray her squirt bottle.

At least once a day we are outside playing with her spray bottle. She could spend hours spraying everything in the back yard.

Such a cutie!

Trying to spray me!

Back to the swing.

Now she is spraying the bugs in her water table.

Let's spray the bugs in the swimming pool.

Better check on the bugs in the water table again.

And most of the days we do this. Reagan holds baby brother. She must ask me 500 times a day to hold him. I will say she is TONS better. I don't worry as much when she is holding him, but I do sit closely. I can tell she is going to be such a big help, she already feeds him, tries to change his diaper and is a pro at giving him his pacy.

Gray all dressed up.

Where's the beach? This kid is ready for sumer!

Reagan has on princess tatoo's.

Gray starting smiling and cooing last week and it's so cute!

Such a sweet boy.
