It's Potty Time!

For the last month, Lauren has been getting interested in the potty, and for the last week, she has been sitting on Curtis' potty chair. She will go into the bathroom, lift the lid, and sit her little bottom down. She loves to do this and gets very excited while saying, "potty". This morning I thought that I would let her sit on the potty without her diaper just to get used to the feeling. Well, while she was sitting there, she got really excited. She stood up and looked into the potty, so I looked too and she had actually gone potty! So we did our little celebratory dance, put her diaper back on, and she went on her way. I'm hoping that maybe she will motivate Curtis since he has backslidden. He was doing so good, he would just go by himself when he had to go. A couple weeks ago, he started to go in his pants, so we have had to start all over again. We are trying something new this time: potty pennies. Whenever he goes poop, he gets two pennies and when he goes pee, he gets one penny. If he goes in his pants, then he gets a penny taken away. We put his pennies in a jar and when they reach a certain point, he will get to go to Chuck E. Cheese. We have been doing this for almost two weeks and it has helped. Hopefully Lauren will be much easier to potty train.Big girl on the potty
I finally got her hair in two ponytails. Woohoo!

Please pray for strength and comfort for Jon & Ali today as they bury their precious babies.
