time flies

Time flies when you are having fun, or when the days are so similar that everyday is pretty much the same as the last. Our days are more of the latter. It's been cold here, so inside staying warm has pretty much been the average day since Christmas. The kids have been playing with all their new toys and basically destroying the house everyday. We went out to my parents house for the last deer hunting weekend of the season and enjoyed the fresh air, but now we are back and in full hibernation mode. So since we are stuck in the house i decided it was time to get back into potty training mode. I had taken time away from it since the kids were fussing every time we went into the bathroom, so i realized i needed something better than just praise to make it more fun for them.  We bought big boy underwear and panties for cold turkey potty training. It totally sucks by the way, and anyone who says different is lying.

 

Landon is is new super cute underwear.

Way to go Landon. 20 potties!

 

 

What i decided to do differently was make a potty chart with their pictures on it. Every time they go pee-pee in the potty they get a sticker. Five stickers equals a piece of leftover Halloween candy, and 20 stickers equals a zoo animal prize.

Landon finally reached twenty stickers today. So he chose an alligator as his prize.

 

 

 

As you can see even Elmo is beating Adalynn. She is refusing to participate. Irritates me to no end so I'm focusing more on Landon now since he is more receptive. Typically every so often i take and put him on the potty and it isn't until after he already has an accident that he will come and tell me he  peed. Today was the first day that he told me he needed to pee before accident. Very proud of him! way to go Landon.!!
