Tiny Update

Just thought I would update everyone on some progress we've made here.

Potty training....I didn't think it WAS progressing but I've started doing something that seems to be working. When the girls wake up in the mornings I take their diapers off, put a few towel down on the floor, and make the two potty-chairs very accessible. They love to just sit on the potties and watch tv. Ava is doing great, I wouldn't be surprised if she is diaperless in the next few weeks. I wish you could see her face after she is successful. She jumps up and turns around and claps and yells "yay". Lola likes sitting but I don't think she has actually gone yet. (No accidents at least)

Treadmill update.....I am doing much better. 20 minutes is no problem now, but I haven't pushed myself beyond that yet. Ryan is running the half marathon on Saturday so he wins!

I should have posted this picture (because it is awesome) under the 'uncle of twins' post a while ago. Better now then never. This is the official Uncle of twins.

Isn't potty training fun? Elijah is in underpants now, but just at home. I have to make sure I check with him OFTEN to see if he needs to go. We even went to the park on Monday and no accidents! Don't get me wrong - our floors have seen more than their share of Elijah-puddles, but it's going alright. Good luck!

I'm still working with Jackson. The only way I can get him to consistently go without accidents is to set the oven timer. When it goes off, he knows it's potty time and runs and goes. I'm hoping that eventually he won't need the beeping to remind him to go.
