Potty Trained!



Last Thursday I decided to try potty training Hailey. We haven't given it much thought or effort before.. just sat on the potty once in a blue moon never getting anywhere. Thursday I put undies on Hailey and told her not to go potty in them, to let me know when she needed to go. She had one accident a couple hours later, then she went on the potty in the afternoon.. and another start of an accident before catching herself that evening. She had one #2 accident on Friday and the start of an accident on the way home from the store on Saturday morning. That is it. She has been dry every night and gone #1 and #2 on the potty all the rest of the time since! I think it's safe to say she's potty trained! Can't believe what an awesome potty training champ she is! Guess she was ready! (knocking on wood here, don't want to jinx anything) Yes, I am not ashamed to say I used bribery. I bought her a toy she wanted for awhile now and hid it in the closet a few weeks ago and she asked for it the first time she went! Then I had a few other little toys for her once a day for the weekend. Now, she's just so proud and we do a little potty dance every time she goes :)





All of these pictures are from a couple weeks ago, forgot to post them. Everything else is going good here. Baby boy is kicking all the time now and Ben's finally felt him kick. The girls giggle too much while they try to feel him so haven't gotten to just yet. They are such cute big sisters though, constantly hugging, kissing, and blowing raspberries on my belly! I think I go into the dr next on December 8th or something like that. We're getting excited to go down to see my side of the family for Thanksgiving! I am craving Thanksgiving food big time. Hope everyone else is doing well!
