addy goes potty

It's been about a week since i posted last. The triplets are doing really well. We went out to my mother's house for the weekend since my husband and dad are on vacation together. Yes you read that right. I think i was duped! Ha ha. After our laid back weekend in the country, i came home to a clean house courtesy of my brother. I need to go out of town more often.
I have gotten into a routine of taking the kids to the gym with me the last few months. It started out first with me lugging the triplet stroller inside, but the owner nicely hinted that it took up too much room in the play area. Imagine that! Then i advanced to the twin stroller with Landon walking/holding my hand. Landon is so good at following me and following directions. He is definitely the best at listening to me, even though he is usually the one getting into trouble by me. But as of yesterday, i finally walked all the babies into the gym. Addy and Marek hold my hand while Landon follows. This may sound like a non-issue for most parents, but when you have three babies of the same age, you face some unique challenges. So yes, it is monumental that the last two days i have walked all three of my toddlers into the gym together. When we leave the house, they all walk to the van and climb inside by themselves sometimes as well. It's so cool that they are getting smarter and more helpful.
Going to the gym is the highlight of their day i think. They get to play with a bunch of different kids of all different ages. Since its been over 100 degrees here, they haven't been able to play outside. Even in the early morning its still scorching. So the gym play area is our daily destination.

I have noticed the past few weeks that sometimes in the morning Adalynn wakes up with a dry diaper. For giggles this morning, i decided to put her on the potty to see what would happen. Miraculously, she peed! i celebrated like she had won the lottery. I honestly was so surprised. I tried catching her again later, but didn't  get another positive result until after nap time. Twice in one day-on her first day ever! I am one proud  momma. I dug up some panties for her to try, and she is currently wearing them. Of course i am so anxious for my furniture, rugs, and their toys. Too bad you can't just drop your children somewhere and pick them up a few days later like you can when you potty train dogs! Ha
